Palestinians tear down chunk of wall

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) ï¿½ Palestinians tore down a chunk of Israel's
West Bank separation barrier on Monday in a protest staged to coincide
with the 20th anniversary of the day the Berlin Wall came down.

A truck was used to pull down the wall section to the cheers of an
estimated 150 Palestinian activists and foreign supporters near the
Qalandia refugee camp just outside Ramallah.

Israeli troops used teargas and stun grenades in a brief clash with
stone-throwing Palestinians who then dispersed.

"Today is the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and marks
the first day of a week of resistance to the apartheid wall in Palestine
and around the globe," the Stop the Wall campaign said in a statement.

Israel says the network of steel and concrete walls, fences and barbed
wire is needed for security. The Palestinians view it as a land grab
that undermines their promised state.

To date, Israel has completed 413 kilometres (256 miles) of the planned
709-kilometre (435-mile) barrier, according to UN figures.

When completed, 85 percent of the wall will have been built inside the
West Bank, leaving 9.5 percent of the territory and 35,000 Palestinians
between the barrier and the Green Line that marks the 1967 border with
Israel.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a non-binding resolution
in 2004 calling for those parts of the barrier that are inside the West
Bank to be torn down and for further construction in the territory to cease.

Israel has ignored the ruling.

Even as Jew Haters had they learned to live in peace, there would be no
wall.
Anyone with a brain can see how the Arabs constantly shit on their own and
try to blame everyone else for the mess.
