Current Separation Barrier Protest

Jewish soldiers keep watch as Palestinian children join foreign and Jewish demonstrators during a protest against separation barrier, on 8 August 2008 in the West Bank village of Maasarah, near the town of Bethlehem.

Four years have passed since the world court called for partial demolition of the separation barrier. To date 57 percent of the barrier has been built, of the projected 723 kilometers (454 miles) of steel and concrete walls, fences and barbed wire, according to UN figures.

When completed, 87 percent of the barrier will be built on West Bank territory which Israel occupied in 1967, according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

At this time there is no longer any of the separation barrier being built and the court order for partial demolition is being honored.

As for these continues demonstrations, these people need to find something better to do with there time for this type of situation is not necessary and furthermore, as long as there is a terrorist problem with Mahmoud Abbas’s terrorist organization; I have not insisted any further demolition of this barrier until this problem is resolved, because of the welfare of all Palestinian citizens for the protection against terrorism, within the country.

Nevertheless, these demonstrators assaulting police or the military during these demonstrations without cause, is a crime in Palestine; because violent demonstrations are unacceptable.

This was brought to my attention, as to questionable people protesting during these demonstrations, I say this because they tend to be associated in some manner to either terrorism or collaborators with the same and that they where previously requested to cease and laws created, because from my experience; so far there sole intention is violence which people all around tend to get hurt.

As to some protestors getting killed, it has been reported; that some of the casualties where do because protestors due tend to come armed or not for peaceful intentions.
