Does Anyone Care That The Bilin Fence Is Already Being Replaced?

Now in tea and food calm down phase. Tough day but great turnout. And some of the wall was cut. Maybe next year the wall will come down.

Maybe next year the wall will come down?

The fact is that in accordance with the Israeli High Court decision, a new fence is currently being built under the authority of the Defense Ministry, and is expected to be completed within the next several months.


When the new fence is complete, the current security fence will be removed.
Until then, it stays up for security reasons.

The right-wing needs the distraction of Abu Rahmah's death to avoid the message of the protest:
Perhaps it is the left-wing that should practice staying on message.

Kershner writes that the protest are a symbol of "Palestinian defiance." Really?

The army routed the wall based on security considerations. The HCJ insisted that the army needed to take less land. The army is now complying.

The protests are a sign of contempt for Israel's democracy.
