Why Israel Needs a Fence
From NY Times (registration reguired).
Benjamin Netanyahu:
Instead of placing Palestinian terrorists and those who send them on trial, the United Nations-sponsored international court placed the Jewish state in the dock, on the charge that Israel is harming the Palestinians’ quality of life. But saving lives is more important than preserving the quality of life. Quality of life is always amenable to improvement. Death is permanent. The Palestinians complain that their children are late to school because of the fence. But too many of our children never get to school — they are blown to pieces by terrorists who pass into Israel where there is still no fence.In the last four years, Palestinian terrorists have attacked Israel’s buses, cafes, discos and pizza shops, murdering 1,000 of our citizens. Despite this unprecedented savagery, the court’s 60-page opinion mentions terrorism only twice, and only in citations of Israel’s own position on the fence. Because the court’s decision makes a mockery of Israel’s right to defend itself, the government of Israel will ignore it. Israel will never sacrifice Jewish life on the debased altar of “international justice.”
For the same reasons, I might add, that the US ignored the UN when it attacked Iraq.
Lets put up a fence in America too. We can keep all the liberals in the Northeast, because they are a threat to democracy and Amercican values. I can’t even watch NASCAR anymore without hearing Dale Earnhardt Jr. talking about how everyone in America should see Michael Moore’s film. Damn those liberals!

After 45 minutes of research, I’m unconvinced. I’ll blog it.
