Israel Matzav: What would you do?

What would you do?

If you're an American and you object to Israel's 'security fence,' Chicago attorney William Choslovsky reminds you that the United States has a fence along its border with Mexico that is more than six times as long as Israel's fence. But if anything, the comparison argues even more in Israel's favor.

Imagine what we would build -- or do -- if instead of trying to take a job, those on the other side were trying to take . . . our lives. Imagine what we would do if people 10 miles away lobbed rockets each day at our children and "taught" their children with textbooks that have maps that omit our country. Imagine what we would do if instead of suffering one terrorist attack since 2001, almost 20,000 were attempted against our people. Viewed in this light, I ask, what took Israel so long?

Simply stated, Israel's "inhumane" walls and policies are the effect; the cause is terrorism. Israel seeks the same thing she has sought since her founding: true peace. As judged by deeds, not sound bites, she still awaits a willing, sincere Palestinian partner.

Isn't it funny how Barack Obama said something similar about Gaza before the elections, which he has now conveniently 'forgotten.'
