The Great Wall of Israel

November 13, 2008 .
Through out history countries have built walls to keep their enemies away from them. During the Ming Dynasty China built a great 4,000 mile wall to keep the Mongols off their land. After World War II the Germans built a wall to divide East and West Berlin. The Koreans built a wall to keep the Northerners away from the Southerners. Now Israel too wants their very own wall!
Walls are great from keeping your enemies out or in some cases for preventing your own people from escaping. They also clearly define borders so there is no mistaking where the property lines are drawn and whose land your on. Israel needs a wall for these very purposes. They would like to keep the Palestinians out and prevent them from entering Israel from the West Bank or Gaza to commit acts of terrorism. The Israelis and Palestinians also have difficulty defining the borders of their land. This wall could solve both of these problems!
This wall is going to be 703 kilometers (436 miles) long. Approximately 58% has already been constructed and 9% is currently under construction. They have built one wall in Gaza which is much less controversal than the one they are currently building around the West Bank.
This wall has state-of-the-art security in many areas, with trenches, multiple fences, sand, cameras, and military patrol roads to keep people from crossing the barriers without being caught. Click on the image above to see a detailed description of the wall and it’s security features.
This wall has been a source of outrage among many Palestinians they do not want a wall built around their land. They feel that the Israelis are Nazis for building this wall. First of all they feel that Israel does not have the right to exist and that all land currently occupied by Israel currently belongs to them. So they could never agree on where the wall should be because as far as they are concerned Israel should not be entitled to any land. Secondly, they are heavily dependent on Israel for aid, food, jobs, etc. and as much as they say they hate the Israelis, they refuse to stay away from them for long.
As I see it the wall is a great solution. Palestine wants their own separate states, this wall would keep them divided from Israel and they would have their own nation. I know this would upset them because they rely heavily on assistance from Israel and they cannot last long without their occasional suicide bombing.
At various spots on the wall you will find lots of Graffiti, done both by Palestinians and Israelis. They use this wall as a giant kickboard to express their emotional, political, and religious anger. You will find peaceful, friendly graffiti among hatred and anti-semetic rhetoric. The Palestinians always love to blame the United States and George Bush for everything. I wonder if they will treat the new president elect, Barack Hussein Obama, the same way. It will be tough especially since he has a Muslim name and heritage. I am sure that they greatly miss having George Bush to point the finger of blame.
Some of the Graffiti is more creative. Above is graffiti drawn on the Palestinian side which shows a terrorist pulling the wall aside to reveal paradise on the Israeli side. This was either drawn as propeganda by the Palestinians to encourage others to breach the wall or by the Israelis to rub in their faces that their side is better, cleaner, more sophisticated, smarter, and safer than the lawless, dirty, poor, crime infested, uncivilized Palestinian side.
Either way this propeganda seems to work and the Palestians often find ways to tear down the Israeli wall and enter their lands. They are now free to bomb around the country!
In some cases Palestinians have gone as far as knocking down radio towers and used them to climb over the wall into Israel. Wow, they really want to visit their Israeli friends on the other side. They have a love-hate relationship with them. Palestinians are even worse than Mexicans! They see getting over this wall as a challenge and they live and breathe to get over it. They have even more dedication that most Mexicans do in regards to hopping over walls. The Israeli wall is far better defended than America’s great wall!
By better defended I mean that Israel has

Assuming there will be prayer at this wall…
the guy pulling the curtain on the wall is a stencil made by British artist Banksy. Now stop being such a brainwashed paranoid fuck and stop blogging.
I love Isreali humour it is unique.
ישראל הנאצית
First of all, the West Bank wall illegaly cuts into Palestinian territory. (How would the Israelis feel if egypt decided to build a wall that cut into their territory, huh? They’s be pissed!)Second, this wall is not a source of sovereignty for the Palestinian people. Just because there is a wall does not mean that Israel will recognize the West Bank as a sovereign state. In fact, it is simply a way to strongarm the Palestinians. Finally, when the palestinians do break through the wall, they head straight for the supply stores to get food and medicine because Israel chokes the poor palestinians with that bullshit wall. The wall is a symbol of Human Rights abuse. Free palestine!
Where you were talking about graffiti propaganda by the Palestinians depicting paradise on the Israeli side, it is artwork by Banksy.
well…. this ariticle was definately written by a kings size joo bastard.. for sure.
By the way when Palestinians cross over the wall… it’s not cos they’re keen to meet the god-damn Israelis.. but because that’s actually their land on the otherside.
Why don’t these “Palestinian” Arabs go to Jordan to be with their own people? Or is there a wall on that border too?
