I hate the wall.
I feel it is a scar cutting apart our beautiful land, setting us back to a space that does not allow healthy dialogue.
I grew up in a settlement called Efrat and now live in Tekoa. They are right by Bethlehem. I speak Arabic and have maintained a relationship and dialogue with Palestinians my whole life.
The wall is not there to seperate people based on their religion or race. it is only there as a means to protect israeli citizens. men,women and children from getting killed by suicide bombers.Ever since the security wall has been built there has been a statistical drastic drop in the number of bombs exploding inside Israel.
As Quickly as it has been built it can as easily be removed when the support of Palestinian citizans and Government will be against Terrorism and recognize Israels right to exist. As of the present moment Hamas (who were voted for by more than 70% of the palestinians) support terror attacks against civilians and do not recognize our right to exist. as I write this an Israeli city of Sderot(not behind the green line) is being bombarded with Kassam rockets.If Israel feels it is safe, the wall will be removed.If it will save one life, it has served its purpose.
