Revision as of 13:36, 1 April 2006 by Zeq (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)In june 2001 a grass roots organization called "Fence for Life" - The Public Movement for The Security Fence began the civil struggle for the construction of a continuous security fence. The movement was founded by people from all over Israel following the Dolphinarium terror attack.
The goal of the Movement, is to encourage the goverment to construction a Security Fence along Israel borders. "Fence for Life" urged the goverment to build a continuous Fence as speedily as possible, and without any connection to the political future of the areas it separates, with a goal of hermetically sealing off the Palestinian territories from Israeli population center to prevent the terrorist acts by Palestinians against the people living in Israel.
From the very beginning of its public campaign , "Fence for Life" emphasized that any Security Fence has no connection whatsoever to the political future of the settlements. The Movement for the Security Fence for Israel included protests, demonstrations, conferences with public figures, media blitzes, lobbying in the Knesset as well as legal battles in the High Court of Justice, both with demands to quickly build the Security Fence as well as appeals not to cause further delay in construction. The Movement does not support any specific path for the Barrier, as this is subject to a goverment decision. "Fence for Life" was of the opinion that “politicization” of the Fence by various groups was delaying the completion of the Security Barrier and is likely to block its construction. At the end of 2002, due to goverment inaction several localities who suffered the most from lack of a border barrier have started to build the barrier using their own funds directly on the green-line.
The movment main claims:
1. The failure to build the security fence is the longest lasting failure in the history of israel
2. Thousand of israelis murdered and thousands wounded by palestinian terrorists since october 2000
3. To this day, the security fence is not complete
