Alfei Menashe, the Fence, and I

September 18, 2005 by Don Radlauer Leave a Comment

The Separation Fence and I did not enjoy an instant romance. When I heard how much money was to be spent building the thing, my first reaction was to imagine how many more Israeli lives would be saved if we put the same money into traffic safety – after all, even in the worst years […]
