Maybe Some Fences Are Good

Europe has been at the forefront of the campaign to not allow Israel to defend her citizens by putting up a fence to keep terrorists out. The ICJ, with the full backing of Europe even ruled that the fence was illegal. However, Europe apparently approves of some "apartheid" fences. Never mind their lack of objection to the fence that Saudi Arabia is building on its disputed border with Yemen, or the fence that India is building in disputed Kashmir. Turns out, Europe is building its own fence to keep out "unwanteds". And to add to the hypocrisy
is a report that recently surfaced in the Israeli business magazine Globes that the EU was going to use the experts in "separation fence" construction to build their fence -- Israeli companies. Globes reports that Magal Security Systems is "expected to sign a cooperation agreement with a major Western company for building fence and command and control systems in Eastern Europe."
