Security Fence Distortions

[pistoff democrat]

Those who oppose the fence say it's really a land grab, that we are prejudging any political outcome and making life harsher for the Palestinians. But we say no, it's not any of these. Categorically, this is a buffer zone. It's certainly not a political border because it can be removed at any time. If the Palestinians stop terrorism, we won't need a fence. By stopping terrorism I mean dismantling their infrastructure, collecting illegal weapons and closing the explosives labs. We can't allow them to regroup; the leaders must be arrested. Do this and we won't need a fence.

1. What a buncha crap

"It's certainly not a political border because it can be removed at any time."

2. Eastern Europe was also a "buffer zone" for "security"...

Need I say more?

The assumption that the only thing that matters in the world is Israel's security is ridiculous. In the views of some, it might improve US security to nuke Iraq; does that mean that that is the right course of action?

Security does not excuse everything, however atrocious the actions it is supposed to protect against may be.

It might improve Israel's security. That's a good thing. However, it will also ruin the lives of thousands of Palestinians, ruin huge sections of farmland, and worsen the already horrendous humanitarian conditions of the Palestinians in the West Bank.

3. You are incorrect.

Equating Isreals security fence with the Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe is Terrorism.
Terrorists are to be terminated.
Report to level six for termination.
Thank you for your cooperation.
