My vanity thanks you.

The Security Fence is being built with the sole purpose of saving the lives of the Israeli citizens who continue to be targeted by the terrorist campaign that began in 2000. The fact that over 800 men, women and children have been killed in horrific suicide bombings and other terror attacks clearly justifies the attempt to place a physical barrier in the path of terrorists.

It should be noted that terrorism has been defined throughout the international community as a crime against humanity. As such, the State of Israel not only has the right but also the obligation to do everything in its power to lessen the impact and scope of terrorism on the citizens of Israel.

Supporters regard it as a necessary tool protecting Israeli civilians from terrorist attacks that have plagued the country since the start the Al-Aqsa Intifada in September 2000 and regard it as a major causal factor in reducing incidents of terrorism by 90% from 2002 to 2005.

As of January 2006 the length of the barrier as approved by the Israeli government is 670 kilometers. Approximately 36 % has been constructed, 25 % is under construction, 20 % has been approved but construction has not yet begun, and the remaining 19 % awaits final approval
