"It's easy enough to judge by actions. The new wall is only one of these actions in a long list of actions that explain what Israel is all about." - Barry Finn

Quite right Barry - The prime responsibility of the freely elected Government of the sovereign State of Israel is the security of its citizens - So please let's do judge them by their actions - the new wall - terrorist attacks resulting in the deaths of Israeli citizens has declined 96% over the last seven years since its construction - Effective or what Baz?? I'd say that they're doing a damn fine job.
