It is a last resort action, it worked like a charm in Gaza, it will probably work here as well. The Palestinians had ample time and opportunities to get other solutions. I said on this thread a long time ago, the longer the Palestinians take to solve their extremists problem, the smaller a foot print their eventual state will have.

why is it bad? seriously. if there is to be two politcal entities, there will also be two economic entities. a line has to be drawn somewhere. No matter where you draw it, it will be devisive. and the wall could have been put up in 1995. the reason it is being put up now is well known to you.

all countries try to maintain walls around them,

the real wall is the lack of the ability of palesinians to get passports to leave the area and the inability of anyone of palistinian origin to own land anywhere else. It is a wall that requires UN refugee status and food and housing to only be given to those that live in a camp. The arab nations built the wall to keep them there. And arafat never built any towns or housing in ten years with all the billions he has

This wall is far more powerful than anything made of brick and mortar.

If you are troubled by which land and what amount of people of which "kind" are on either side of the wall, my understanding is that it is something like 1 percent of the population of "palestinians" and 1 percent of the population of Israelis.
