Israel considers image change for West Bank barrier: 'Terror Prevention Fence' (full title of article)

<snip>

"Israel is considering a name change for its massive complex of walls, fences and watch towers in the West Bank to improve its international image -- the "Terror Prevention Fence."

The new title for what is now called the "security fence" is part of an intensifying public relations battle as officials on both sides bring in high-powered legal and publicity advisers ahead of a Feb. 23 world court hearing on the wall's legality."

"The name change was one idea tossed around at a meeting Wednesday evening between Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and high-ranking government officials, though a final decision was not made, said Jonathan Peled, a Foreign Ministry spokesman."

Anything any government wants to do nowadays can be accomplished by pasting the "terrorism" sticker over it.

Any atrocity can be justified to attack the "terrorism" boogeyman.

what a pantload.
