Israel to build a "Berlin Wall"

Humboldt | 12.06.2002 17:15

Israel's peculiar penchant for imiatating German-style totalitarianism continues

The proposed wall will be a multifortified stretch of concete, gun-towers, barbed wire and will run the entire border of the frontier of the West Bank, dividing Jerusalem in two: In short, very little different from the Soviet monstrosity that used to divide Germany and Berlin.
Any nominations for the award of "The New Stalin" ?

The complete opposite of what you claim

Although the East German communists did attempt to describe the Berlin Wall and the intra-German border fortifications as an "anti-fascist protection wall", any fool knows that they were built to imprison the unfortunate oppressed population of the "GDR". So there is absolutley no correlation with Israel's entirely justified attempt to keep Palestinian terrorists out. Obviously 100% success is extremely unlikely but any reduction in infiltrations will reduce deaths and injuries among both Israeli civilians and the deluded, brainwashed Palestinians who perpetrate suicide attacks, thus also (hopefully) reducing the necessity for IDF operations in Judaea and Samaria.

the official name for the berlin wall was 'the anti-fascist protection barrier', precisely the kind of euphemistic terminology now being used by israel

If it were the complete opposite to what matey claimed, wouldn't that mean that it was to keep the facist nasties in
eg the Zionazis ????

This wall is going to prevent the Palestinian terrorists from entering Israel and murdering Israeli civilians.

Well,we can only hope that this wall will keep all the Israelis out of Palestine aswell,but that is prolly too much to ask...

Having said that,i thing this wall is shamefull.
