the real reason they don't like the wall is that it effectively prevents coming over and committing acts of murder. sorry....

Walls and fences in Israel aren't the solution. They may stop a few terrorists but they are useless against rockets. Moreover, they ghettoize Jews in our own tiny Homeland. We should invest money paying Arabs to leave instead. Most Judea, Samaria and Gaza Arabs have been telling pollsters for decades they want to leave. Let's help them. It is win/win for everyone. For Israel, it is a one time investment with permanent returns.

"Mr. Netanyahu, tear down this wall!"

The Berlin Wall designed to keep people in. The Security Barrier keeps Islamo-Wackjobs out.

NOT!

That land is disputed it is not carte blanche Arab land, it belongs to both peoples because it has the names of the forefathers of the Jewish people written in it. Just because Israel is in a position where it has to deal with protestors and that it has an army to protect itself that does not automatically = Israel is wrong. Jordan used to be part of Palestine. Why don't the leftists rally there and complain about occupied land? So tell me who has justice on whose side? Just because the media says Strong = wrong. Thats why.

hint, hint.

Of course, before the Berlin Wall was built , West Germans were not putting on vests filled with explosives and going into East Germany to blow themselves up and murder as many East Germans as they could. The Palestinians feel that it is unfair if they are not allowed to kill Jews anytime they please. Their message the world is: "The Jews are oppressing us because they won't let us kill them as we wish. The Wall prevents us from killing Jews, therefore it is unjust and must be torn down." Somehow. the rest of the world has bought this line of garbage.

Booby trap it !

but they don't. they only want it as a propaganda tool... sort of like something to tell the world see how bad the zionists are to us? this incident only puts the lie to the arab story... and cleverly disguises the murderous human bombings they carried out prior to the erection of this defensive barrier.

Everybody who knows a bit about German history - especially at the end of the division of the country - and about the situation in the middle east, knows that the situations are completely different. The reasons for the division were different, the circumstances ... especially: In Germany there was ONE People which was divided into two states ... any attempt to compare East Germans and West Germans to Arabs and Jews is totally hilarious.

The "German Democratic Republic" opened its borders to West Berlin and West Germany after peaceful prayers and demonstrations. The protesters carried candles in their hands --- no bombs, no guns, no knives, they even didn't throw stones ... until now it seems as if this kind of protest culture doesn't fit into the middle east, maybe the arab protesters should learn something from the peaceful revolution in east germany.

Israel's undercover Agents should have taken care of business on the spot on this terrorist and his fellow thugs who damaged the wall.

from eachother. The Security Barrier was built by Israel to protect Israelis from Palestinian terrorists. And guess what: It's working. And just to remind: It is was the Soviet KJB and Romanian Securitate that created the PLO military wing in the first place.

Haven't you heard of the old lady near Qalqilya? She was offered millions of dollars in return for her modest piece of land. She asked the IDF to go $@#$ themselves. That lady embodies the determination of Palestinians everywhere not only to stay put on our lands and history but also develop this land, cultivate it, and institutionalize our presence here forever! It's actually the Gulf Arabs who should put together a fund to buy off Zionist-owned lands and guess what, it's already working (check the YNET article!). Very soon our Galilee will be reclaimed into Palestine.

it's meant to demonize Israel by putting it on the same niveau as East Germany.

Bravo! Kudos to you for your brilliant, insightful wholly accurate observation. Thank you.

You can't allow foreign protestors to run riot and injure Israel security personnel.

So that we can go and suicide bomb you next time you are at a passover seder!!

The Berlin Wall wasn't created to prevent people from taking explosives to blow other people up. The Berlin Wall was erected by the Communists in East Germany to prevent East German citizens from escaping to the non-Communist West Germany. It was pretty embarrassing to the Communists to have people escaping their 'people's paradise'. The wall here is meant to protect people from those who believe they're serving a god by blowing up Jews. Article didn't mention arrests or anything. I hope those who took part in the destruction are fined, at least.

the misery of forced exile and living under muslim and church occupation and oppression for millenia.... one breathtaking difference with germany's wall... is that this is our 4000 yr old homeland and if you think we are going anywhere you can look at our clinging to this land, our only 4000 yr old homeland, despite 1,800 year EXILE for the majority of Jews...as proof positive we aint. maybe you should go back to syria where your relatives came from in modern history? or...you could go to one o 23 arab homelands. choose. Jews have no choice we have 1 and have always only had 1 eternal homeland.

"That lady embodies the determination of Palestinians everywhere not only to stay put on our lands and history but also develop this land, cultivate it, and institutionalize our presence here forever!" That would be funny if it weren't so pathetic. Before the Jews returned in large number in the 19th century "your land" was a barren, treeless, crop-less, malaria infested hole in the ground. Furthermore, "Palestinians" were almost all uneducated fellahin scrabbling around in rock strewn ground that was actually owned by Turkish and Syrian landowners. If it weren't for oil no Arabs would have anything. The first real universities, schools, hospitals, etc. were ALL built by European and American missionaries. Heck, even now Palestinians that can afford to all send their kids to catholic or foreign private schools. There aren't very many impressive things in the ME, but pretty much all of them were built by foreigners. Most Palestinians wouldn't have jobs if it were not for the israelis. Your history is made up, and sadly your future is just as fictional. Your entire identity was created to hate Israel and curse Jews. Without them you wouldn't even be a people, other than Arabs.
