Our initiative:
Let's remove all fences in the world! |
|
|
To our big surprise we discovered
that there exist some fences and barriers in the world, outside of Israel.
Some of them even can be found at major UN members. Please help the world
get rid of the fences and write to the heads of state and representatives
to the United Nations. Here is a
sample letter. |

First, we start with the fence
between Mexico and the USA. There is really no need for this fence
since the millions of illegal Mexicans in the United States do not
commit suicide bomb attacks in American restaurants. Write to mr. Bush
and mr. Powell today. (Nobody told them about
this fence.) |

Then we continue with the fence
between North and South Korea.
A totally useless fence since the regimes of both countries share the
same democratic values. Remind their representatives about this:

Korea to the UN ,820 Second Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10017

A fence in Europe! Could it be?
But those people live in peace! The fence between Cyprus and the

This is a good fence,
as friendly Dutch people know how to build. It is only meant to keep
illegal immigrants from leaving the harbor area of Hoek van Holland.
But the purpose is like any other fence: keep the wrong people out of
your country.

Another one in Europe!
Is it possible? In Solana's own country!
Spain erected a barbed wired fence, guarded by
soldiers, in Ceuta, on the border with Morocco, in order to keep
illegal workers (without bombs) out of Spain.

Saudi Arabia enrages Yemen with fence!
By John R. Bradley in Sa'ada, Yemen
11 February 2004
Saudi Arabia, one of the most vocal
critics in the Arab world of Israel's "security fence" in the West Bank,
is quietly emulating the Israeli example by erecting a barrier along its
porous border with Yemen.
The barrier is part of a plan to
erect what will be an electronic surveillance system along the length of
the kingdom's frontiers - land, air and sea. The project, involving
fencing and electronic detection equipment, has been in the planning
stages for several years. It may cost up to $8.57bn (£4.58bn). Behind the
plan is a deep-seated lack of trust in the Yemeni authorities' ability to
arrest infiltrators before they make it into Saudi territory.

In Africa too:
Electric Fence between Botswana and Zimbabwe
Residents living near the Botswana border with Zimbabwe
have welcomed a move by the Botswana government to erect a 10-foot-high
electrified fence to separate the two countries. Officially, the fence is
to keep out livestock from Zimbabwe suspected of carrying foot-and-mouth
disease but people are hoping it will block the path of thousands of
illegal immigrants who are fleeing the political and economic turmoil in
Zimbabwe.

Only after we get rid of all these
fences, one could ask Israel not to build a fence that protects her
citizens from Palestinian terrorists. |
