Benjamin Netanyahu says he will build a fence around the whole of Israel

[TiphEret 1,320]

This guy is living in delusion. I am sure there are plenty of sector in Israel that needs such investment (just saying...education, health care and all..) and he wants to build a fence because he is paranoid and racist. It's very sad for Israel. I understand the need for defense but this is going too far and what is it going to solve anyway?

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to build a 15ft fence to surround the whole of Israel, saying that the country must “protect itself from wild beasts”.

The Israeli Prime Minister appeared to use the extraordinary phrase – which has also been translated as “predators” – to describe both Palestinians and the people of neighbouring Arab states.

Mr Netanyahu was speaking during a tour of a newly-completed security fence along the border with Jordan near the southern Red Sea city of Eilat. 

“In the end in Israel, as I see it, there will be a fence like this that surrounds the whole country,” he said.

“I'll be told, 'this is what you want, to protect the villa?' The answer is yes. Will we surround all of the State of Israel with fences and barriers? The answer is yes,” he said.

“In the environment we live in, we need to protect ourselves from wild beasts.”

Last year, Mr Netanyahu was forced to apologise for offending Israeli Arabs in the run-up to the country’s elections, when he warned his supporters that “the Arabs are voting in droves”.

Yet he himself took issue with Donald Trump’s comments about keeping Muslims out of America, releasing a statement saying he “rejects [Trump’s] recent remarks” and “respects all religions”.

During his walkabout on the Jordanian border on Tuesday, Mr Netanyahu was asked about the feasibility of extended the security fence to span the whole country.

The 18-mile stretch he was visiting, between Eilat and a new airport being built by Israel, is costing around £53 million. Scaling that up for the estimated 663-mile length of all Israel’s borders, such a project would cost something like £1.9 billion.

The Prime Minister admitted the fence would cost “many billions”, but said it was a “multi-year plan” that was necessary “to defend ourselves in the Middle East as it is now, and as it is expected to be”.

Obsession? Please elaborate on my "obsession" this was published today on a news website. Funny how you spin the problem around when this guy is obsessed with "arabs" he considers beasts , knowing Israel could use those billions somewhere else. If i see you posting about France or Canada should i consider you are obsessed?

He didn't say Arabs were beasts, he said the fence is to protect against wild beasts. In the desert there are camels, foxes, gazelles, leopards, lizards, rodents, snakes, and many other such creatures. He may also have been referring to Islamic State terrorists, and no one cares about offending Islamic State terrorists.

Sure. It is common among Israeli politicians and extremist rabbis to compare Palestinians with snakes and animals. Google it.

Well, with ISIS on the neck, understandable. 

Though, I wonder if he includes the West bank?

Are you being serious

"The Israeli Prime Minister appeared to use the extraordinary phrase – which has also been translated as “predators” – to describe both Palestinians and the people of neighbouring Arab states."

The Prime Minister admitted the fence would cost “many billions”, but said it was a “multi-year plan” that was necessary “to defend ourselves in the Middle East as it is now, and as it is expected to be”.

Speaking as Mr Netanyahu made his visit, Israel’s military chief Lt General Gadi Eisenkot identified countering the threat of militants entering the country from Gaza as the number one defence priority for Israel in the coming year."

If it was against crazy rabid camels that my president was going to spend billions I would get mad...Plus why is an army general present to talk about protection against "wild beasts" I didn't know he was an expert on local animals..

You know well he does not refer to ISIS terrorists.

I don't really have a single opinion on it. I can understand both sides :shrug: 

One of the main thing is that we Europeans need to understand that our countries are not in Israels position and is surrounded by enemy states. But in the end idk what is right and not

What's with old people and walls?
