UN Condemns West Bank Fence
(Ha'aretz) Shlomo Shamir - "It is simply outrageous to respond with such vigor to a measure that saves lives and respond with such casual indifference and apathy to the ongoing campaign of Palestinian terrorism that takes lives. This is not justice but a perversion of justice," Israeli Ambassador Dan Gillerman said. "In the end, the desire for consensus among the Europeans overcame intelligent thinking," he added. Deputy Chief of Israel's UN Mission Arye Mekel said it would be difficult to see how the Europeans could fulfill any part in the peace process after Tuesday's vote. A senior Israeli official said that France played a devastating role in rallying support for the draft among EU nations.
