Now considering what you said that this wall ended attacks in Israel, well, that remains to be seen
No it doesn't remain to be seen because it has already happened.
There were 146 suicide attacks in the 2000s that claimed the lives of 624 people and injured 891.
86% of the attacks were between 2001 and 2004.
The further the barrier was completed the less attacks have happened.
In the 2010s there have been 2 suicide attacks that killed no one and injured 21.
In my view anyone that hates you with the intent to take your life a wall only temporarily mitigates an issue it does not solve it. From the optics this wall represents an intent to divide. This wall represents the similar ugliness and alienation I would say Jews had faced.
The thing is you have no bloody answer that eliminates the barrier and the attacks on Israelis.
You simply don't.
Like all the other peace activists you expect the Israelis to take the violence and be happy about it until the Arabs stop doing it. If they stop doing it.
That's not a plan. That's insane.
Israel is financially supported by the U.S., The Palestinians, Trump has since rescinded $200 in aid.
Terribly sorry that the financial supporter of the Arab world ceased to exist in 1991?
Also US Aid to Israel goes back to US companies as Israel can't use the "money"(it's not really money, more like a Amazon gift card) for anything else.
So it's basically a supportive program for US companies.
It annoys me that the people who are instructed with God's law and to uphold righteousness and have experienced horror through hurtful isolation are doing the exact same thing they have had done to them.

What annoys me is that you cannot see the clear wrongs of what is going on in this situation where there are policies that are in place where it is disproportionately affecting one group of people negatively.
You don't know **** of what I can or cannot see.
Just because I don't support your agenda of destroying Israel doesn't mean that I don't see domestic problems of Israel.
You like many other Pro-Palestinians are unable to distinguish between the simple fact that Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are not Israeli citizens.
Israel is under absolutely no obligation to give them the same rights as Israeli citizens.
The stupid wall in the middle of the road does not affect the Palestinians negatively. If it does it also has to negatively affect the Israelis on the other side because both sides of the streets are the same.
Do you understand this?
There have been multiple Peace proposals and the PLO has declined every single one.
Their own Peace proposals are usually under the condition that Israel should cease to exist.
You apparently have no problem with that. It just robs you of all the integrity you could possibly have when it comes to this topic.
And I support a one state solution and the cessation of Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory. I support an equitable solution that does not favor Israelis or Jews, or Palestinians or Arabs, but for all people. I do not support Israel and in fact I rather wish Israel to stand on its own with the United States help. I support the peaceful Palestinian cause in which Palestinians can be free without being oppressed and occupied. the fact that your Netanyahu is corrupt demonstrates the ethical quality that is among the Israeli government. With all that I've said does that make me anti-Semitic? A free Palestine? One state where Israeli Jews lose their privilege and have to share power with people? HMM
And you live in a dream-world because none of what you want is in any way realistic.
The PLO, Hamas, PIJ, Hezbollah all still exist in your made up reality. And they all somehow decide that they suddenly love the Jews and wish them no harm? Yeah sure that sounds like a possibility.
Privileges of Jews in Israel? What apart from the right of return is there?
Jews have no preferential treatment to non-Jewish citizens. They can become quite literally anything they want.
One of the biggest heroes of the IDF isn't even a Jew for crying out loud.
You have Arabs all over the universities, in politics, in scientific fields, as mayors, judges, supreme judges and the list just goes on.
15% of the MPs in the Knesset are Arabs.
You know where you don't have this kind of minority representation? The entire Arab world.
Netanyahu is corrupt? Sure, but on what level?
Well since Israel is a liberal democracy we can have a look.
- "Case 2000" deals with recorded conversations PM Netanyahu had with the publisher of Yedioth Ahronoth, one of the largest newspapers in circulation in Israel. During these conversations Netanyahu is believed to have proposed to push legislation harming Yedioth's major competitor, Israel Hayom, in exchange for more flattering and positive coverage of himself in Yedioth.
- "Case 3000" does not directly involve Netanyahu, as it involves a list of business men, lawyers, and officials in the security organizations in Israel, and their connection to a deal made between Israel and Germany in what may be a bribed deal, for the purchase of three Dolphin-class submarines and four Sa'ar 6-class corvette warships. Some of these individuals are related to Netanyahu in a professional or family ties.
- "Case 4000" regards telecommunications company Bezeq's relationship with its regulator, the communication ministry (Netanyahu being the minister until February 2017), and favorable coverage to Netanyahu in Walla!.
- Case "1270" is an offshoot of "4000" and involves an alleged appointment bribe offer to a Attorney General of Israel candidate in exchange for dropping a case against Netanyahu's wife.
And that's it.
Oh and regarding to MEMRI. It's funny how nothing that you quoted in any way disproves what MEMRI stated.
Was it a mistranslation? No.
Perhaps made up? No.
Do you simply don't like the fact that many Jews understand and speak Arabic and can thus translate the stuff the Arabs say? Yes.
Omar Al-Barghouti said exactly what MEMRI said he said. And it just annoys you that the damn Jews translated it.
Because if he didn't say it you would've given evidence towards it. But you didn't. All you did was attack the messenger.
And you are talking about credibility?
