The current violence in Israel and Palestine has demonstrated the ineffectiveness of the separation barrier, the concrete wall/barbed wire fence that Israel began erecting inside Palestine 13 years ago during the second intifada to provide security. The wall is as high as 25 feet in some places, and travels for hundreds of miles inside Palestine, mostly east of the Green Line, grabbing territory that was supposed to go to a Palestinian state under the Oslo accords.
Most of the Palestinian attacks have taken place on the Israeli side of the separation barrier. Last week, for instance, several Israelis and an American were attacked inside the Gush Etzion settlement in the occupied West Bank, but on the Israeli side of the wall, while several other attacks by Palestinians have taken place in East Jerusalem, also inside the wall.

A video tells the world how a 12-year-old child incredibly escapes the clutch of an Israeli soldier. Hundreds more are far less fortunate, to the point of death
It has been a truism since the dawn of theatre: Children upstage everyone else. “Vengeance … for the blood of a child, Satan has yet to devise,” cried Israel’s national poet Chaim Nahman Bialik in his poem On the Slaughter. A thousand reports on the crimes of occupation will always pale in contrast to one picture of a small child dead or detained or abused or injured.
Such was the iconic video clip that went viral recently: an Israeli soldier, masked and armed, tries to detain a Palestinian child whose arm is in a cast. The child looks terrified as his mother, a teenage girl and another few women try to prevent the soldier from taking him into custody.
