The Fence that makes the difference Embassy of Israel Minister of Public Affairs Moshe Fox: "No other nation in the world has ever faced such an intense wave of terror, especially in the form of sucide bombings. The decision to build the security fence was taken only after other options were tried, but failed, to stop the deadly terrorist attacks. The security fence has only one purpose: to keep the terrorists out and thereby save the lives of Israel's citizens, Jews and Arabs alike."
