I think a lot of the discussions about Israel and the Palestinians came off as apologetics. At one point in history there was no wall there. And that is when the “peaceful” Palestinians did multiple terrorist attacks on the Jewish population; the various intifadas. The wall was built as a response to that. There are a lot of half truths in this discussion from the guest.,(reply>), ​@TheGamingAlong There is a long history of Palestinians attacking Jews, even Jews that had been living in that area before 1948, look up "1834 looting of Safed".<br><br>Muslim Arabs have treated both Jews and Christians as second class citizens in their regions,  Dhimmi, having to pay a tax.  As for violence, the Israeli state is responding to violence against its people. I support that.  If Jewish people are being attacked, the government should protect its citizens.<br><br><br>I am all for living peacefully with the Palestinians, but they have to want peace fist...  the Oslo accords were their best deal, they rejected it, and with that the "two state solution".  Now a terrorist organization (Hamas) is running Gaza, and sometime soon most likely the "West Bank". Israel will do what is best for the safety of its citizens.,(reply>), The wall was not built as a response to "peaceful" Palestinians, it was built as a way for Israel to continue to control and oppress the Palestinian people. And the reason for the intifadas was not just "terrorist attacks", it was a response to decades of violence and oppression by the Israeli government. The Palestinian people have every right to be angry and fight for their rights and freedom,(reply>), This issue for the Jews is two fold, one is security - avoiding the possibility of another Holocaust, and the second being the religious aspect. Like Muslims pray toward Mecca, Jews pray toward the Temple and Jerusalem. To say this is not a religious conflict is to be disingenuous.
