Holocaust denier tries to explain why the Israelis need a fence

THE ANTI-TERRORIST FENCE
The anti-terrorist Israel is building does NOT encircle the West Bank, like some people pretend. It just runs along the Israeli border. The West Bank has another border with Jordan.
Palestinian terrorism has forced Israel to build that protective fence.
The international organisation Doctors of the World has qualified the attacks by Palestinian terror organizations against Israelis as “crimes against humanity”. The report also concludes that “the Palestinian Authority cannot deny any responsibility, at least because of it’s ambiguous attitude towards those groups until now.”
The security fence is a passive means to stop Palestinian terrorists from reaching Israeli civilians. The fence does not constitute a border and it’s route is not final.
During the construction of the fence, 63 000 olive trees were displaced. The location of their re-planting was determined by their Palestinian owners.
- SUICIDE BOMBINGS BUILT THE FENCE
A section of the fence is made up of a cement wall. But that section is only 7 km long, on a tolal of 170 km ! And it is built on Israeli territory ! It was erected in an area where Palestinian snipers from Kalkilya and Tul Karem fire on cars passing on the Trans-Israel highway. This type of wall exists on European highways as a sound barrier.
The remaining 163 km of the security fence are made up of an electronic barrier, much like the one already in place around the Gaza Strip, and along the borders with Lebanon, Syria and Jordan.
No village is deprived of it’s water source. Each villager can continue to work as before. The fence is not an annexation of Palestinian territory. On the 170-km already built, only 1,6 % of the disputed territories have been affected. If Israel wanted to annex territories, it would be ridiculous to take such a small area.
Israel has created a compensation fund equivalent to 75-million dollars (Canadian). This sum is renewable every 5 years. But the majority of eligible Palestinians do not claim their compensation because of orders issued by the Palestinian Authority forbidding them to do so !
Israel did not want to build a fence, and resisted doing so for more than 35 years. It is building now because Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the other Palestinian terrorists have left Israel no choice. It is these groups who are to blame for the fence. Aamitiesquebec-israel
10 Points about Israel’s Security Barrier
The Security Fence is a result of Israel’s basic commitment to defend its citizens from terrorism emanating from the West Bank. Though still incomplete, it has already improved the ability of the Israeli security forces to prevent the infiltration of terrorists and criminal elements into Israel for the purpose of carrying out terrorist attacks or the smuggling of arms and explosives.
1. THE TERM, “WALL” IS NOT ACCURATE. Only 3% of the security barrier (in high risk areas) will be a wall. The remainder is a chain link fence.
2. THE FENCE HAS CUT TERRORISM BY 90%. Though not yet complete, the security fence has been successful in reducing terrorism in Israel by more than 90%.
3. THERE WAS NO FENCE between the West Bank and Israel prior to the campaign of violence launched by Palestinian terrorists against Israeli civilians in 2000. The fence is a direct response to this deadly wave of terrorism.
4. MANY NATIONS WORLD WIDE HAVE BUILT FENCES to separate from their neighbors for economic or security reasons. There are even numerous fences built on disputed land, including a Saudi fence begun in 2004 to cut off the smuggling of arms and people across the porous border between Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Some fences make good neighbors.
5. THERE ARE NO NATURAL BARRIERS between Israel and the West Bank, which has enabled the almost unhindered entry of terrorists into Israel in the past. A similar problem between Israel and Gaza has been solved, as a security fence there has proven highly effective in thwarting nearly all infiltration attempts from Gaza into Israel.
6. THE FENCE IS NO BERLIN WALL. Though some opponents of the fence attempt to liken Israel’s fence to the Berlin Wall, it is simply not so. The purpose of Israel’s fence, like many security fences around the world, is to keep potentially dangerous non-citizens out, not to keep people in as was the purpose of the Berlin wall.
7. THE SECURITY FENCE BASICALLY FOLLOWS THE “GREEN LINE” or 1949 Israel/Jordan Armistice Line. It deviates only to protect significant populations in existing Israeli communities close to the Green Line. These communities have been the frequent targets of terrorist attacks and need protection from this imminent threat.
8. THE FENCE PLACEMENT IS NOT A “LAND GRAB” OR FINAL BORDER. In fact, it was first conceived as a series of small barriers to stop terrorists in several high risk areas, but it soon became clear that a continuous barrier was needed to effectively keep terrorists from entering Israel. The fence can easily be (and in some cases has already been) moved. Peaceful negotiations will determine final borders.
9. ISRAEL’S GOVERNMENT AND COURTS REDUCED THE IMPACT OF THE FENCE on nearby Palestinian residents. In most cases the fence was built on publicly owned land. Where this proved impossible, Israel has paid compensation or rent to land owners and arranged special access to Palestinian farmers separated from parts of their land. Palestinians inconvenienced by the fence route have full and speedy recourse in Israeli courts and the fence has been rerouted in several places to accommodate these appeals.
10. MANY PALESTINIANS CONTINUE TO WORK AND CONDUCT BUSINESS IN ISRAEL. By halting terrorist infiltrations into Israel, the fence will put a stop to the need for closures between the territories and Israel that follow terrorist attacks, thus helping the Palestinian and Israeli economies in stabilizing the flow of labor and commerce. The fence has already resulted in fewer security checkpoints and roadblocks in the West Bank.

Nobody is forcing the Palestinians to go work in Israel, let them get jobs from their own people.
