Israel to build fence along border with Jordan: Report

[azurnoir]

Israel has long stated that it seeks to retain a long-term military presence along the Jordan Valley, which the Palestinians vigorously oppose.

On Sunday morning, Israeli newspaper Maariv said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "decided to build a security fence in the Jordan Valley".

The paper frames the decision within the context of the "differences of opinion and the impasse the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians have reached over military control of the Jordan Valley".

According to the report, Netanyahu will give the green light for the construction "immediately upon the completion of the fence on the Egyptian border".

1. Because fences are easier to build than partnerships.

Easier than building friendships.

2. Can't put them fences up fast enough!!

How many villages have to come down to make this happen?
Build bridges,not fences. Build trust, not walls and barriers.
My glasses are on.

3. Good, the Jordanians need all the protection they can get. nt

6. For the so-called only democracy in the mid east Israel is certainly

losing no time ghettoizing the Palestinian population.

You can't wall yourself off from the rest of the countries of the world without having an adverse effect on your own.

4. Mending Wall

Robert Frost in his poem Mending Wall, pondered what he and a neighbor were actually doing repairing a wall that separated their properties. A few lines from it:


Before I built a wall I’d ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out
And to whom I was like to give offense.
Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,

Something to ponder about ANY wall building. Romans tried it across Britain to keep out the unruly barbarians, as did the Chinese. And, how's that wall going to keep out the illegals in America?

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

5. It appears that Nutty's solution is to create a complete fenced-in ghetto

for the Palestinians and kill any chance for talks once again.

But we know that Nutty has no intentions for peace, and has even bragged hat he deceived the US in order to kill Oslo.

I can understand that Nutty wants to keep on humiliating the USA by doing this while out esteemed leaders continue to schlep over the in pretense to continue some kind of peace negotiations.

And the the best part of the joke is that the American tax payer is footing the bill for this side-show sham.


BDS.

7. By now it's clear Netanyahu's goal is to provoke a violent response from West Bank Palestinians

8. In all honesty making them throw up their hands and walk away from

the so called negotiations is the goal although a third Intifada would do too, but those get messy
