"...South Korea has one. So does Kuwait, Lithuania, Namibia, South Africa and India, not to mention Spain, Slovakia, and even the US.
What these disparate nations all have in common is that each one has built, or is in the process of building, a security fence along one of its borders"....
"...But unlike Israel they also share another conspicuous trait: none of their barriers has been threatened with condemnation by the International Court of Justice"...
"...And the list does not end there.
Five years ago, Spain spent more than $35 million erecting a 10-foot-tall fence around its North African enclave of Melilla, cutting it off from the rest of Morocco"...
"..Even South Africa, which so brazenly criticized Israel at Monday's opening hearing at The Hague, has invested tens of millions of rand in recent years to reinforce its own border fence along the Limpopo River"...
"..Why is it ok for South Africa to keep out the cows, but not for Israel to bar entry to suicide attackers?"....
"...They criticize us when we actively defend ourselves through military means, and now they aim to condemn us for adopting passive measures such as putting up a lousy fence."...
"..What truly seems to disturb them is that it just might save some Jewish lives. And that, as far as they are concerned, is perhaps the most unforgivable crime of all."...
