Palestinians decry the Israelis’ security barrier, erected in the face of withering terror attacks. I am greatly disturbed by the condemnation of the barrier by Western Christians, who increasingly affirm the Palestinian narrative.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: the security barrier (called an Apartheid Wall by Palestinian supporters) has…SAVED LIVES. Terrorist are no longer able to murder Jews via homicide bombers, especially in the capitol city of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

During one visit at the height of the Second Intifada, I opened the paper one morning to be greeted by the faces of murdered Israelis, on the front page of the paper. I asked several people at my hotel, in east Jerusalem, what they thought about the attack in Hebron. They just shrugged their shoulders.<\/p>\n

Will anyone among the Palestinians’ supporters simply condemn the use of violence against Jews, and not tack on “but the ‘Wall’…” at the end of their sentence?<\/p>\n

The world loudly decries the deaths of Arabs in the Arab-Israeli conflict, but is usually pointedly silent about Jewish deaths.<\/p>\n

What a horrible and unacceptable response.
