There would be no reason for any violence, if the Palestinian leaders decided to denounce terrorism among all their groups, as well as giving up the military aid they get from Syria and Iran. Look at the bigger picture.

This is a fascinating story. If more people read about things like this, they would start to imagine new ways Israelis and Palestinians could interact without killing each other!

Why don’t you point out the other side?? The Fence has saved many Jewish lives – everything is a tradeoff, everything has a price. Why don’t they use legal ways of protest instead of throwing rocks (a friend of mine was almost killed by one when he served in the IDF).

thanks for this analysis – as an american jew, i’m torn by the whole conflict. i’ve never seen such polarization in jews over issues like this. we have to learn to be BOTH pro-Israel and pro-Palestine. I think Obama is trying to do that. After all, his cousin is a rabbi and his father was Muslim!

The fence seems to work. Do Not allow my country the USA to dictate to you. My heart is with you .I am not Jewish but my Saviour was.

The idea of a Palestinian protest in which Palestinians hold up pictures rather than throw stones and make political statements rather than inflict mortal wounds targeted against civilian women children and men, is encouraging. On the other hand, the claim that it is impossible to understand how Israelis who are conscience of the holocaust could build a separation barrier requires a shallow understanding of the Holocaust and Israeli Palestinian relations. I don’t know who claims to be the great arbiter of the lessons gleaned from the Holocaust. But it’s clear that while some people might have learned empathy, others learned that as Jews, we have to protect ourselves. And while the separation barrier is ugly, awful, perhaps even infringing on certain rights, it ultimately saves lives. It is clear that the bombings from Palestinian terrorists have decreased to almost nothing since the barrier’s construction, and conversely, has decreased Israel’s response to these attacks. So the barrier saves Israeli lives directly, and in a strange way, saves Palestinian lives as well. Perhaps through a deep understanding of both sides of this issue, we will be able to break down the walls and build bridges instead. Until then, the barrier stands as a lesser evil.
