Propaganda dressed as news. Note the authors.

[wideawake]

What are you talking about? Don't you know that little schoolboys traverse "vast areas of land" every morning?

Why I remember when I was a schoolboy, I used to walk from New York City to Baltimore every morning at 7. Sometimes I was late because I would stop for breakfast in Philadelphia.

[Petronski]

That's some primitive propaganda...hard to believe the palies and leftists buy this drivel.

[swilhelm73]

Well, you know maybe if the Palestinians would stop murdering there neighbors every chance they get something like this wouldn't be necessary...

Oh and as for the facile comparison to the Berlin Wall, that was to keep people *IN*, though I've met many a leftie that denies that. There is little wrong with a fence to keep people *OUT*.

Further, if conditions are so bad for the arabs in the West Bank, perhaps the other arab states could use all the money and land they took from their local Jewish communities when they ethnically cleansed them to give these arabs a homeland somewhere else throughout the vast expanse of the arab world.

Although the roots of the family's suffering go back to 1982 when the Shakid settlement was built near their house

There you have it. The mere existence of Jews causes these ignorant towel heads to 'suffer'. I hope they suffer a lot worse.

We need a wall like this around the entire Muslim world.

This pathetic tripe reveals a scene the authors would rather have kept hidden, namely, that the Israelis and Palestinians led normal, sympathetic, interactive lives side by side. They were part of the same economy and often the same culture. They were friends and co-workers. The little boy went to school on the Israeli side of the street, so to speak.

What wrecked it? Politics. Militant politics fueled by radical Wahhabism. Trust the propagandists to blame anyone and everyone except their own horrendous attacks.

[Mr. Mojo]

Note the authors.

Blatant propaganda. Yep, and I don't exactly trust anyone with 'Ramadan' in their name.

[Alouette]

We hope that this wall would be removed one day and the Palestinians would live free in their independent Palestinian state,

After all the Jews have been driven into the sea.

Suffocates = keeps savage killers out.

Once you know the new definitions of old reliable words, it is all clear and quite simple, really.

Given what they teach children in pali schools, kill yourself, murder your neighbour etc etc... if his parents loved him they would be glad he couldn't go.

"Their can be no peace until the Arabs love their children more than they hate the jews" (Isreali leader, forget which one, any Freepers know?)

[ZinGirl]

He has lost concentration in class,

wellll.....if it was Suicide Bombing 101, I guess he just might screw it up and only kill himself.

honestly....there were SO MANY lines in this bogus article that require comments...like:

the fence left a psychological impact on his child.

and bombing a busload of Israeli citizens or flying huge jetliners into US buildings makes these people dance in the street? Oh, dear....I'm so worried about this fence's "psychological impact" on the little ones. (not!)

[Tom Bombadil]

the fence has caused damage to the already-weak water and electricity infrastructure.

Waaaaahhhhh Waaaaaahhhhh.

Cause and effect are pushed down one slot with this view. i.e. the fence is the cause and the damage is the effect.

Well what about moving back one step and seeing the fence as a effect? Can the Palestinians even think of a possible effect? Can they even spell the word terrorism?

[tom h]

If I had time I'd relate the story about the darling little Israeli boy whose walk to school didn't increase in length but who now walks alone, instead of with his grandmother, because she was killed by a Paletinian a--hole who detonated a bomb on her bus.

[Optimist]

Raed's father, said that discovering the fence left a psychological impact on his child. He has lost concentration in class, and fear crosses his face when he sees armored vehicles and Israeli troops working on the fence.

Luckily for Raed (and his father), he doesn't have to ride a bus:

but, then, there really is no psychological trauma like having a wall pop out of the ground overnight (/sarcasm)

[goldstategop]

Shut them all in. We won't hear no more stories about innocents being blown up in homocide bombings in Israeli shopping malls.
