Why Did Israel Build a Security Barrier?

Created by HonestReporting, this informative, animated video (01:23) introduces the security barrier that Israel began building along the Green Line during the Second Intifada as a direct result of the infiltration of Palestinian terrorists to Israel. The barrier – 95% fence and 5% wall – successfully decreased the amount of terror attacks in Israel by approximately 90%. Nevertheless, referred to by some as a separation fence or an apartheid wall, this controversial project is not ideal for anyone, and Israelis and Palestinians on both sides long for a time of true peace where there is no need for a barrier.
