the fence is built partly on land confiscated from the Palestinians. they are not "free to seek prosperity like Israel has chosen to".
[/ QUOTE ]
When have the Palestinians ever tried to seek prosperity? What industries have they tried to build up? When have they ever tried to install real leadership instead of following murderous thugs? When have they ever tried to quell terrorism? Why are they not free to do these things?
Maybe they got a raw deal in their situation back in the day. But, they have done absolutely nothing to help their own cause.

i think i get your point and i agree to some extent. however, this can be said about many areas and states in the world and it seems to be a hard issue to solve. i do not really know much of their history to comment on it but i am certain that the fence is a huge step back for the Palestinians.

The fence would not be going up if the Palestinians had stopped the suicide bombers. I think the Palestinians may have gotten a raw deal many decades ago but the fence is their own doing. You cant massacre a nations civilians and they cry that the fence they put up to stop you is unfair and is causing you hardship.

the wall is mostly of the Palestinians own doing, yes. Israel is free to do whatever they wanna do on their own soil, but to erect the wall on Palestinian soil is most likely a step away from peace.
