Another Brick in the Wall
I believe Israel has a right to build a wall to secure their borders and protect against terrorism. However, I do not think Israel should extend the wall across the border and into Palestinian territory. For various reasons the wall extending beyond the border undermines the peace process and causes hardship on non-Israelis who live there.
I realize Israel has settlements on the other side of the border that also need protecting. I suggest they put a wall around each settlement they realistically believe they can keep in a future peace settlement and abandon the rest.
