Jerusalem (AFP) - Israeli police on Sunday began erecting a wall in east Jerusalem to protect a Jewish neighbourhood subject to firebomb and stone attacks launched from an adjacent Palestinian village. The wall would effectively divide Palestinian Jabel Mukaber and Jewish Armon Hanatziv, raising criticism among the government's opposition, which considered the move a de facto division of Jerusalem. As of Sunday, police had placed six slabs below Jabel Mukaber, each about 2.5 metres (yards) high and two metres long. Black lettering in Hebrew at the bottom of the slabs read "temporary mobile police barrier". The municipality said the wall would eventually cover a 300-metre strip, stressing it would not be peripheral and it was being placed where "there is a history of stone and firebomb throwing at Jewish homes and cars". Jabel Mukaber has been a hotspot in the recent wave of violence in which 42 Palestinians and seven Israelis have been killed, raising fears of a full- blown Palestinian uprising grew. Three residents of the village had killed three Israelis in two separate attacks in Jerusalem on Tuesday before being killed by security forces. On Saturday, a 16-year-old Palestinian was shot dead by police after attempting to stab border police at a checkpoint near Jabel Mukaber. The new wall will join a series of checkpoints set up in recent days at the exits of some of the Palestinian sectors of east Jerusalem, including Jabel Mukaber. The Zionist Union, the centre-left party which leads the opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition, criticised the move. "Netanyahu officially divided Jerusalem today," it said in a statement. "Netanyahu has lost the ability to keep the safety of Israel's citizens and Jerusalem's unity." Israel regards Jerusalem -- which it has fully controlled since winning the 1967 Six-Day War -- as its historic and undivided capital. Palestinians, however, see much of the city as occupied territory and want the capital of a future independent state to be located there.

I consider Israel to be a big girl who can watch out for herself,but has anyone else noticed how none of the mainstream media are pointing out the obvious fact that the radical Muslims are sending out brainwashed Palestinian teens armed with knives because they KNOW the Israeli's will shoot them with guns (DUHHHHHH!) in self-defense,and the media will make comments about "brutal over-reactions"? Rather than criticize the Jews for defending themselves,they should be slamming the Muslims for sending their children out to be killed for political reasons. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Exactly !!. The media, just like so many national leaders, Oblabula, Merkel, etc, are all hell bent on spreading Islam. The Palestinians, and the rest of Islamnuts will never, never get along with Jews. I honestly do not know what the solution is. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
All out war to the finish. I ain't happy about it,but that's what it's going to take. And maybe even what will end up happening. The globalist world leaders want Muslim immigrants in the hopes of a civil war that will result in them gaining dictatorial power,but in some countries I see the natives rising up and hanging the leaders that allowed it to happen while killing off the invaders. Just wait until the Scandinavians and Germans are on their last nerve,and some dickhead Imman orders Sharia Law be applied to the ancestors of the Vikings and the Barbarians. It's going to get ugly on a Biblical scale. Not even sure the Muslims will be able to recover in 700 years this time. Or ever.

I think you are exactly correct Pete. People of the West can live & let live. But, the Muslims cannot. So, the Muslims are planting the seeds of their own extinction. The leaders will regret what they have done. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
The can't do that! It's too expensive! It won't work! The Palestinians will go over it, around it, under it!
