Arab Bomb Victim Backs West Bank Barrier
Edited on Sun Jul-11-04 08:43 PM by drdon326
The 29-year-old Arab Israeli from Tel Aviv was the head of a local committee calling for coexistence between Israelis and the Palestinians.

Now he wants them kept apart.

"A month ago I went to protest the fence," he said, referring to the barrier Israel is building in the West Bank. "Now I believe it can only strengthen us."

The bombing came just two days after the world court ruled that the barrier is illegal. Israel says the structure keeps bombers out, while Palestinians says it encroaches on their land and disrupts the lives of thousands of people.

"These terrorists don't differentiate between Jews and Arabs, they just want to kill," he said, glass shards embedded in his leg, as his wife shook her head in disbelief at his political transformation.

Obviously Sammi Masrawa is a right wing likudist for supporting the
peace fence.

Maybe the ICJ shouls ask Sammi what he thinks.

1. This was moving
"I want to say that I am an Israeli Arab and I'm proud to be an Arab who tried to save a soldier," he said.
