i am sick to the back teeth of people trying to support israel's disgusting "security" fence. its sole purpose is to help israel in its land-grab in palestine. loads of writers are trying to pretend that it is there to defend israel.



here's an example from the guardian: silvan shalom, a fence built for peace.



the first lie is in the title; the fence is built to cut the palestinians off from their water supplies and their farms, not to protect israelis - israelis have been the agressors throughout.



shalom continues in the same vein, accusing the u.n. of bringing the international court of justice into disrepute because it has asked for legal opinion on the fence. how does asking for an opinion bring the i.c.j. into disrepute?



he then bangs on about the number of israelis killed. one israeli killed in one too many, but the number of palestinians killed by israeli forces runs at four times the number of israelis killed - so who really needs defending, silvan, my lad?



there's loads of crap about the u.s.' "road-map" for peace which is, after all, just a u.s.-sponsored route to israel owning all the decent farm land in palestine and the palestinian people being left to starve or die of thirst in the refugee camps.



so fuck off, silvan shalom. stop defending the indefencible. stop your government killing palestinians. stop it stealing their land. stop it trying to run the entire middle east.



then you'll have peace and freedom. you won't achieve it with your fascistic "security" fence.
