The writing is on the wall

More violence and fear and destruction in Israel and Palestine. There is now only one solution to the horror. Tear down the wall!
Yes, tear down the wall of hatred and ignorance that has been built by Arab leaders and activists and that has necessitated the construction of the security barrier by Israel on the West Bank so as to protect its people. Tear down the wall.
Such a security fence around Gaza, by the way, might have prevented the terrorism bleeding its way from the area into Israel and threatening all-out war.
Some history. Israel captured the Gaza Strip only after numerous Arab governments with armies far larger than that of Israel attempted to obliterate the Jewish state and Jewish people. Israel didn't want Gaza and offered it back to Egypt. Cairo refused.
Unlike so many European and North American critics of Israel, the Egyptians and Jordanians have no illusions about what is really going on.
They tried to smash the Jews but, sorry, the Jews refused to be smashed. Reality has hit home.
Yet it seems increasingly apparent that various labour unions (CUPE), post-Christian churches (United) and alleged peace groups in Canada prefer it when Jews are powerless.
But that, comrades, is not going to happen anymore.
The Jews do not and will not depend on the whims of the gentile world to guarantee them safety or lead them to destruction. No more pleading and hiding, but strength and honour and self-determination.
Israel is arguably the greatest example in history of an indigenous people taking back its rightful land and rebuilding a great nation after evil empires had tried to smother them to death.
Unlike those empires, Israel acts with compassion. It withdrew from Gaza, sending in thousands of soldiers to remove Jewish settlers. This action tore at the very heart of the nation but the Jewish state wanted peace so much that it was prepared to make the sacrifice.
Various properties and buildings were left, including a network of greenhouses that had been painstakingly built and were highly productive and profitable. Instead of using them and their products to help their people, Palestinian terrorists smashed them to pieces.
They then began to fire rockets from Gaza into Israel. Legions have now been launched, one of the most recent into the middle of a high school. It is only by chance that dozens of people have not been killed. Entire communities are traumatized.
Each rocket costs $15,000. This money could be given to the people of Gaza to help them and feed them and educate them. But that might break the dependent cycle of victim status and anarchy.
Israel did not build a wall around Gaza, but Egypt certainly did. Egyptian engineers constructed an enormous concrete barrier that separates Egyptians from their "Muslim brothers" in Gaza -- and, unlike Israel, Egypt cannot claim sadistic terrorism as the reason.
Yet still neither Egypt nor other Arab countries are criticized and there are no motions of boycott against them or staged photo opportunities for western journalists.
It's hardly surprising that Israel gave up thinking it would be treated fairly a long time ago.
No matter. Right always triumphs in the end.
Tear down the wall. The wall of hypocrisy and extremism from the Arab world and the wall of ignorance and bigotry from its allies in the west.
PING!
Yeah, but leave up the physical wall. Nothing else works.
The author appears to be unaware that there has been a security fence around Gaza for many years. The more discussed one on the West Bank is an attempt to imitate the general success of the Gaza fence in stopping attacks.
Time for a Palestinian trail of tears. Round em all up, make them walk north, expell them into Lebannon and Syria.
"Yes, tear down the wall of hatred and ignorance that has been built by Arab leaders and activists and that has necessitated the construction of the security barrier by Israel on the West Bank so as to protect its people. Tear down the wall."
Yeah. That will happen.
I think you may be right... It might be best of Israel took Gaza back and simply cleaned house.
But the Pali's want war and death. Thats virtually the only thing they spend their money on. They are a true Death Cult. So even if Israel expells them from Gaza it won't mean peace for the Israeli's. That basically leaves only 1 other option... give the Palestinians what they want... death.
Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin!
The answer is to resettle the palis onto some surrounding islamic land considering that land is 640 times larger that the state of Israel and could accommodate a city of trouble=making islamic pali terrorists.
