Want Israel to remove her fence? You remove yours first.

To our big surprise we discovered that there exist some fences and barriers in the world, outside of Israel. Some of them even can be found in major UN member nations. Please help the world get rid of the fences and write to the heads of state and representatives to the United Nations.

First, we start with the fence between Mexico and the USA. There is really no need for this fence since the millions of illegal Mexicans in the United States do not commit suicide bomb attacks in American restaurants.

Write to Mr. Bush and Mr. Powell today. Nobody told them about this fence.

Then we continue with the fence between North and South Korea. A totally useless fence since the regimes of both countries share the same democratic values. Remind their representatives about this:

A fence in Europe. Could it be? But those people live in peace. The fence between Cyprus and the Turkish occupied territory should be removed at once, not only opened during daytime.

Write about this to:
Permanent Representative of Turkey to the UN

Another fence in Europe:
In Northern Ireland this time, where thanks to wise British policy, Catholics and Protestants live in peace together for centuries. Let's get rid of this fence!

Write to Mr. Blair. He does not know of these fences in Belfast.

This is a good fence, as friendly Dutch people know how to build. It is only meant to keep illegal immigrants from leaving the harbor area of Hoek van Holland. But the purpose is like any other fence: keep the wrong people out of your country.

Now, this is really bad, a fence between two major United Nations members, India and Pakistan. Look what is says at the website of Tribune: A farmer with his bullock cart moves along the Indo-Pak border fence near Amritsar on Monday. He has agricultural land beyond the fence.

Write your letter to :
Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the UN

Another one in Europe: Is it possible? In Solana's own country! Spain erected a barbed wired fence, guarded by soldiers, in Ceuta, on the border with Morocco, in order to keep illegal workers (without bombs) out of Spain.

Write to:
Presidente del Gobierno de Espanaa, Jos×™ Mara Aznar Lopez

=====

And another:
Just to let you know that there is now a fence between Botswana and Zimbabwe - to stop the Zimbabweans from entering.

Only after we get rid of all these fences, one could ask Israel not to build a fence that protects her citizens from "Palestinian" terrorists.
