Protest in the West Bank village of Anin Monday July 28 2003. Israel Defense Forces soldiers fired tear gas and rubber bullets on Monday to break up a protest against Israel's construction of a security fence in the West Bank, wounding five international protestors.

The protestors have attempted to cut the fence and break open the "farmers gate" - a gate, controlled by the Israeli army that intended to allow Palestinian farmers to reach their olives groves.

Israel wants to separate itself from the West Bank with a 600 kilometer-long (370 miles) fence which it says is necessary to prevent attacks by Palestinian militants.

The protestors claim that the security fence project (called by the international protestors the "Apartheid wall") has caused hardship to the lives of Palestinians.

Please feel free to add your comments on the situation and on the gallery.

Eyal, it wont help to eliminate every comment that is pro-fence and that sees the reality of having to stop these palestinian suicide bombings.. The fence has proven itself - terror has been reduced by 30 percent, perhaps you or your family's life has been saved. stop rubbing out every comment here that tells the truth, your gallery proves how much this fence is needed to protect Israel.

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 at major UN members. 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. 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. 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. 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! 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 2 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. - 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. 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. And another one: Just to let you know that there is now a fence between Botswana and Zimbabwe - to stop the Zimbabweans from entering, due to our dire economic conditions.

Eyal, why dont you show israelis celebrating hanukkah under the constant threat of terror? buses being blown up? a gaurd in every cafe? It is one thing to side with the hardship caused by the fence to palestinians (but they have chosen to wage a terror campaign) but it is another thing to be so one-sided. Your images show just how one-sided you really are. I see no images of blown up buses, of the victims of palestinians shootings, of houses damaged in Gilo by shootings from beit Jala, of the massacres by palestinians in Park hotel or Maxim restaurant in Haifa, of weapon tunnels dug in Gaza to smuggle more weapons to kill more Israeli civilians, of empty hotels and malls in Israel. How can you be so ignorant of the immense suffering of Israelis under the 30 years of terror led by Arafat? The fence you are so against is saving each day the lives of Israelis like yourself from suicide bombers.

I don't think that their would be one people on earth who wouldn't protest again such an horror (if it must happen to their own country of course), a wall between people, we have seen that before and we know that it's a shame and now it's don again, incredible.

Neel, I do not think anyone in Israel look at the group (of internationals) that did this as a representative group of America.

Just like out of town jerks to come in and cause a ruckus. Not wonder people think all Americans are dirty. All they see is troublemakers like these.
