 Peace Now Positions
In Favor of a Fence on the Green Line - Against Sharon's Fence - 25/05/2003
Peace Now demands: a fence on the green line! The Sharon government fence is dangerous and destroys any chance for a political agreement!
- Peace Now recognizes the obligation and the needs of Israel to defend its citizens along its borders, namely the June 1967 borders, including the erection of obstacles like the security fence.
- Sharon's government is building a fence deep in Palestinian territory. Even if it declares that the fence is aimed at assuring the security of Israeli citizens, in fact, the purpose of the fence is the annexation of territories and perpetuation of the settlements. The government uses the fence in order to create facts on the ground, with the purpose of thwarting any chance of a political agreement with the Palestinian people.
- Sharon's government is building a wall designed to imprison millions of Palestinians in enclaves, in order to destroy any means of livelihood and free movement and push them towards transfer. The government is annexing Palestinian villages in several places and separating between Palestinian villagers and their land and sources of livelihood in other places.
- We warn that the policy of Sharon's government is fanning hatred and hostility and encouraging the continuation of violence and an increase in bloodshed.
