Why the Wall is the Only Way to a False Peace!

The reason for the Palestinian failures to establish a non-corrupt, non-violent, non-hating functional government, with even a tinge of a type of democratic flavor to it, has been blamed on Israel and
the West over and over again, but few ever blame it on the Palestinians themselves.
Outside governments worldwide have pumped billions into the effort to establish a stable state government of Palestinians in Israel, but to no avail. While western powers are pumping money in to promote a stable Palestinian government to make peace with Israel, Islamic nations are pouring even more into Palestinian terror groups in and around
Israel to make war against Israel, and the Palestinian man-in-the-street simply watches it all happen, constantly trying to survive and to end up in the camp that will supply him the best deal on food and shelter.
Please forgive me for my practicality, but I am a realist, and, as such, I know the only way that even a limited situation of peace and safety in Israel can be even temporarily maintained, is by separation of the Jews and Palestinians by a dependable security barrier with a series of rigid check points to screen out the Palestinian terrorist elements. Sure, the terrorists can still launch missiles and rockets over
the wall, but after a time of vicious retaliation by Israel aircraft and artillery, the Palestinian man-in-the-street will react against the terrorists to insure his personal safety.

the Gaza Strip with the post-disengagement state of affairs.

Gaza Was Going to Show the World – Patrick Bishop
January 10, 2005
I have always been reluctant to accept the Israeli statesman Abba Eban’s observation that the Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity, but arriving in Gaza Monday, it had to be admitted that
the man had a point.
Four months ago, when I was last here, the place sparkled with optimism. With the Israelis gone, Gaza was going to show the world what Palestinians could do when left
to their own devices.
Now it felt more like the Wild West.
Our regular driver, Ashraf, was not there to meet us.
He has the bad luck to belong to the Masri clan, who are currently engaged in a blood feud with their rivals, the Kafarnehs. The toll so far is five dead and 70-odd wounded.
As we passed through the town of Khan Yunis, the main road was blocked by what I took at first to be an election rally. Wrong. The Masri boys were at it again, this time wading into the Tahas, their sworn enemies in the southern end of the strip.
As we turned into a parallel street to detour round the mob, we ran into a gun battle, with the rivals trading Kalashnikov fire from opposing blocks of flats.
