Americans have empathy for people who
live under the yoke of tyranny, and
especially at this time of year in the part of
the world that is holy to so many of us.
I understand the concern of people like
Lynn Grassmeyer, in her Dec. 23 op-ed,
“Family sees daylight despite wall,” about
the plight of the Palestinians. I just question w
hy she would bring up the issue of what
she refers to as the “separation wall” as a
negative without showing the benefits.
In 2002, before the anti-terrorism barrier
was built, 457 Israelis were murdered in
terrorist attacks; in 2009, eight Israelis
were killed. Attacks by Palestinian terrorists
over the years have led to defensive
incursions by the Israeli Defense Forces
that have resulted in more death and
destruction on both sides...........
