I was really pleased to see Harry Rosenfeld's Nov. 26 column in the Sun regarding Israel's fence.
The more than three years of continuing suicidal terrorist attacks on public places seems never ending. In fact, reading daily about more casualties to civilians, we never become hardened to the news. It is always horrible, full of hate and anger.
In Israel, it's mothers and children, old people and students who die. We feel the loss of every person who has been killed by terrorists in Israel and the hot spots America is involved in.
If the fence can save lives of innocent citizens, I agree with Mr. Rosenfeld and applaud his embracing the building of the fence despite our government's holding back its financing because Israel didn't comply.
Ordinarily, I agree with our president and stand by his decision making. I feel that slapping Israel down because it is taking matters into its own hands and doing whatever it can do to assist its population is exactly what the United States would do if the situation were reversed.
