The Israeli wall has ended the intifada
-
Israel's Security Fence
(and here)
- Everyone in the world should support this since it is saving lives.
-
Victor Davis Hanson
points out that the Israeli wall
at least brings a moral clarity to the situation,
and, like the Berlin Wall
or the North Korean border,
shows exactly who is threatening who.
Israel, which only wants to live in peace,
has been forced to build a wall to stop
suicide bombers getting in.

Israel's Fence, New Tactics Seen Behind a Decline in Bombings
by
Ofer Shelah
- "the tally of terrorist activity for the first half of 2004 showed
a sharp decline - estimated to be 75% - in the number of successful suicide attacks."
- IDF blog
- "As I leave the Tulkarm area we can see here .. the fence part of the security barrier
changes into a wall at one point because it is bordering an Israeli highway,
without the wall part, the civilians driving on this highway would be shot at with impunity.
Indeed if I was Jihadist, from here I could easily start shooting at the cars driving by
if that pesky wall wasn't in the way. Leftists call this an apartheid wall
since this wall is segregating bullets from some Jewish baby's head."

No one cares about these because they weren't built by Jews.

The absurd analogy with the Berlin Wall
- Many peacenik hypocrites denounce the Israeli wall
(to keep people out)
as like the Berlin Wall
(to keep people in).
-
Yet I imagine that when the Berlin Wall
actually existed,
these hypocrites were not to be found among the cold warriors
denouncing communist East Germany for enslaving its people.
I imagine rather that they were among the sneering intellectuals who mocked
Ronald Reagan
for demanding that the unelected communist dictator Gorbachev "tear down this wall".
-
I imagine that anyone who was strongly anti-communist,
and actually opposed the Berlin Wall
when it existed,
like Reagan did,
would have no problem with the Israeli wall.
All the strong anti-communists are now anti-Islamist.
So what I want to know is:
Is there any major figure who actually condemned the Berlin Wall
when it existed,
and who now condemns the Israeli wall?
Tell me here.
- For example, the anti-Israel
Archbishop of Cologne, Cardinal Joachim Meisner, Mar 2007,
says:
"the fence reminded him of the Berlin Wall and that in his lifetime
he did not believe he would see such a thing again. As the Berlin Wall was brought down
so will this wall be brought down, he said, adding that the fence served no purpose."
Did Meisner,
who is from communist East Germany,
ever condemn the communist East German regime
when it existed?
Did he ever
demand the Berlin Wall come down
when it existed?
Tell me here.

Pink Floyd singer
Roger Waters
spray paints
a line from
his silly song
on the life-saving Israeli wall, June 2006.
"WE DON'T NEED NO THOUGHT CONTROL", he writes,
as if that has the slightest relevance to what the wall is about.

British artist
"Banksy"
(alleged real name
Robin Gunningham)
painted this on the life-saving Israeli wall in 2005.
From here.
I must say I like his art, but this makes no sense on the wall.
It would have made a lot of sense in East Berlin,
but makes no sense here.
The children are being kept out of paradise,
but the people to blame are the children's own families and community.
Paradise (Israel) would be happy to let them in
if they did not threaten them.
If they were willing to be peaceful neighbours,
they could visit Israel any time.
They would also be a lot richer, as well as freer, and happier.
It is their own addiction to violence that keeps them trapped behind a wall.
Why not paint
suicide bombers trying to dig through the wall
so they can kill children playing with buckets and spades on the other side?
Why not paint
Palestinians building the wall themselves
to keep themselves out of Israel?

points out that the wall will vanish as soon as the threat vanishes.
