Here's a very troubling one from yesterday's World Tribune:
Palestinians easily scale Israel's $1.9 billion security fence
Most of the article discusses how ladders are used to simply climb over the barrier. And the Israelis can't respond quickly enough to catch them. Some "security," huh?
It's only at the very bottom of the article, after an ad inserted in the column, that you find this enlightening scrap of additional information.
Since the fence was built, the sources said about two infiltrations a month take place from the West Bank through the area of the fence. Before the fence was built, the number of infiltrations was reported at 300 a month.
Yes, two is still two too many. But I'll take a reduction from 300 to two, thank you. Especially if the two are just "looking for work." I still have my reservations about the fence, but let's stick to the real issues, shall we?
