A few things.

1. What did you expect?

2. Why get angry about something that doesn't matter.
a)It doesn't change anyone's opinion, since this decision is a reflection of the world's current opinion.
b)It isn't legally binding

3. As I understand it, the wall is infringing on Palestinian territory. If the sole purpose of the wall was to stop terrorists getting into Israel, then having it not infringe on their land woudln't have been a problem, would it?

4. The wall together with the assassinations seem to be working very well. They won't stop doing what they're doing.

There may not be (or ever have been) Palestinian Territory (notice the capital letters), but there is territory where palestinians are...

And I think you knew what I meant anyway...

You were not back in an hour, and I therefore killed myself violently and went to bed. I hope I didn't miss you...

I thoroughly apologize. I had something I had to deal with right then. And then on the way back, Niman called me, drunk and stumbling along Highway 7. I had to rescue him.
