13. In an attempt to satisfy your curiosity

I wonder why there's nothing in the news about the 1800-mile long fence between India and Pakistan or the 150-mile fence between Kuwait and Iraq.

Could it be because that, unlike this fence, those fences are built on internationally recognized boundaries?

This begs the question of whether
any nation should build walls separating itself from another nation or whether a nation should build walls separating some groups of people within its borders from other groups of people.

Once again, I have not seen a post here that denies that Israel has a security problem with Palestinian terrorists or a legitimate right to do something about it. The issue raised is not with building a fence; the issue is where that fence is currently being constructed.

No one has yet given a good reason why a fence built on or closer to the Green Line would be any less effective in preventing terrorist acts.
