Senator Clinton Supports Security Barrier

By Amihai Zippor

(IHC News, 14 November 2005) US Senator Hillary Clinton of New York said she supports Israel’s security barrier and called on the Palestinians to do more to fight terrorists.

“This is not against the Palestinian people,� said Clinton on Sunday, 13 November.

“This is against the terrorists. The Palestinian people have to help to prevent terrorism. They have to change their attitudes about terrorism,� she said.

The senator was on a tour of the barrier near the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo overlooking Bethlehem.

Israel’s security barrier is being built to stop suicide bombers from attacking Israeli cities. Statistics have shown that the fence has prevented many attacks in the past several years, after terror groups killed hundreds and wounded thousands in the years since the Oslo peace process was set in motion.

Meanwhile, during her three day visit to Israel, Clinton also met with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz.

She and her husband, former US President Bill Clinton and their daughter Chelsea were to visit Jordan Sunday night as a show of solidarity with King Abdullah II and the people of Jordan in the wake of a triple suicide bombing last week.

Al-Qaida took responsibility for the blast, which killed 57 people in the worst ever terror attack on Jordanian soil.

Lets make sure she feels the same about a US fence.
