Travesty at The Hague
(Washington Post) Charles Krauthammer - Yes, the fence causes some hardship to Palestinians. Some are separated from their fields, some schoolchildren have to walk much farther to class. This is unfortunate. On any scale of human decency, however, it is far more unfortunate that 1,000 Israelis are dead from Palestinian terrorism, and thousands more horribly maimed, including Israeli schoolchildren with nails and bolts and shrapnel lodged in their brains and spines who will never be walking to school again. Not since Libya was made chairman of the Commission on Human Rights has the UN system put on such a shameless display of hypocrisy.
