What Carter calls an "imprisonment wall" has been responsible for reducing terrorist attacks in Israel by an estimated 80 percent. Not only has this saved at least hundreds of Israeli lives, but by reducing the number of suicide bombings, it has prevented the need for as many Israeli retalitory measures, thus saving Palestinian lives. If Jimmy Carter's friends in the West Bank and Gaza were to stop indoctrinating their children with the belief that dying in the process of killing Jews is the ultimate good, if they were to stop electing leaders dedicated to Israel's destruction, there wouldn't be a need for such a security barrier in the first place.

Incidently, even French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy recently did an about face on the security fence, and now supports it.
