Israel has a wall on the border with Lebanon, but that did not stop Hezbollah from sending 2 gunmen who climbed over the fence and proceeded to kill 6 Israeli civilians the other week. Israel's border with West Bank is much less defensible due to its length and shape.

It will reduce the number of deadly attacks on Israeli civilians, but it won't prevent many. Besides, walls can't stop incoming Katyusha's or mortars that Pallies will be firing into Israel. The conflict will continue until one of the sides is completely defeated.

Well right now the issue is suicide bombers. If the wall on Lebanon needs to be made more airtight, then it is time to get about it. Anyone attempting to cross illicitly should be shot on sight. I know it costs money. Lots of money. It is time to begin soliciting it. And you know what? I suspect if it appears that the thing will happen, that the logjam will break. In the meantime, why is Israel allowing ANY Arabs to enter its pre 1967 borders plus Jerusalem? Tell me WHY? If there are a few that are key to its economy, and carefully vetted, they can get special entry permits.
