It is clear that certain Arab groups, with a clear self-interest, oppose the security fence, which was erected to prevent terrorist incursions into Israel.
Ramadan Shalah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader, has publicly admitted that Israel’s security fence is an important obstacle to the terrorist organizations, and that “if it weren’t there, the situation would be entirely different.” The Palestinian Islamic Jihad has carried out the greatest number of suicide bombing attacks during the past few years.
So wouldn't the best advice to Israel be to complete this security barrier?
Israel is doing its best to combat terrorism directed at Israeli civilians. The Arabs, on the other hand, target the Israeli women and children with their Qassam and Katyusha rockets.

The barrier we are discussing is between Israel proper and the West Bank areas of Judea and Samaria.
The rockets that are launched over a barrier are those coming from Gaza into southern Israel, where they kill, injure and cause property damage. The solution there may just be to flatten Beit Hanoun.
