So, in your opinion, Jews should be expatriated from Israel? Or at least "voluntarily" have to leave the country? Is that what you are saying?
Again, forget the purpose of the wall/fence. If you were to rank the level of significance say 9/11 was, it would be pretty high, no? say 1 -100, it has to be in the 90s. The fall of the Berlin Wall would also rank in the 90s. The fall of the Israeli fences will be a highly ranked event as well. Both events are unexpected because of years of stalemate and both are world known conflicts. I am asking if you think this hypothetical event would rank up there?
The wall would only be a symbolic aftermath to true peace. If that didn't happen, it'd be like replaying staged videos of Iraqis toppling Saddam's statue. As for knowing about "the wall" I thought there was some fence segregating the populations like a border fence. Had to think on whether they split up Jerusalem before remembering the Israelis initially took full control. Furthermore the issue of caring about Israel is 0 or negative compared to my other general interests. I'm pretty much fed all of their garbage by force rather than by choice.
I think the Wall is obscene, and said so when they started building it (thought the same thing with the Soviets started on the Berlin Wall, but I digress). The only good thing about the Wall is that it can eventually be torn down.
I can't wait till the wall comes down physically and symbolically. The people of both sides deserve better than to be treated like animals in various quarters.
It will be good when the wall will come down eventually, but first, the threat of bombs and suicide bombs against Israel has to end for good.
I'm curious why you think it's the best policy to let terrorists dictate Israel's policy. I think if it's the right thing to do to have the wall down, then you do it. I believe that both sides should do what's right, and not let terrorists and bigots determine their policy. The second they do that they give those terrorists and bigots more power. They know there tactics change policy and bring about more division, and it makes it that much easier for them to operate.
Those who want to live in a modern state that does not privilege one religion/ ethnicity over another many would probably choose to stay, just like many whites comfortable with a state that does not privilege one race, have stayed in South Africa. Others would probably choose to immigrate, to America or Europe like a fair number are doing now. In fairness Germany and other European countries directly involved in their persecution should offer them citizenship and resettlement allowances to other countries if some understandably would not feel comfortable there. For us in the US it would probably be cheaper and in our best interest to pass a law that gave very favorable immigrant status to Israelis.
You and Around the World don't seem to be able to support your positions, so just pure insults. It is sad that you don't think Israeli Jews can evolve and become more just like the Afrikaners eventually did. I believe that they can. What's more, I feel that this is more in line with the Jewish tradition than the apartheid of present day Israel.
