Haaretz: Three Lies About the 'Separation Fence'

The morning after the horrific suicide bombing at Cafe Hillel in Jerusalem, Finance Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu was asked on the radio whether this was the right time to cut the defense budget.
Netanyahu reiterated his promise that the funds earmarked for what is known as the separation
fence will not be reduced and will even be pumped in faster to accelerate its construction. This
will be done in order to guarantee the security of Israeli civilians. It never occurred to the radio
host to ask whether the fence would, indeed, guarantee security. As in other areas, the
escalating violence and heated emotions rule out any alternative views

One of the most dramatic geo-political changes in the
history of the region is taking place at record speed and
without any public debate. Before it becomes too late, we
must take time out to look through the veil of lies about
the fence.
