    Israel Defies U.N. Vote Against West Bank Barrier

    Israel vowed Wednesday to press ahead with construction of its West Bank barrier despite a U.N. resolution demanding it be torn down, but Palestinians called for international sanctions to force compliance.

    I must admit, I was not a big fan of the fence when it went up, and the basic idea still doesn't really sit well with me. However, it does seemed to have contributed to a decrease in suicide bombings. As such, I can't blame to Israelis for building it, or wanting to keep it up.

    I think the wall is a good idea. The Palestinians don't want to live with Jews, so why not lock them out. If they have jobs in Israel, than have them be documented, and cleared to work on the other side of the fence. Desperate times take desperate measures, and these sure are desperate times.

    Ditto. I think the wall is an excellent idea, especially if it's saving lives. When was the last time we heard about an bus-bombing in Israel?

    When reading this sort of thing about Israel, I always ask myself: what would we demand in this country is countless suicide bombers were availing their services throughout the land? Somehow, I don't think debating the pros and cons of a fence would even be entertained. But that's just me.
