The Patriot Post® · Gordon: Let's Build a Fence!

Cal Thomas: “At last, an Obama administration official has come out in favor of a fence. He promises it will bring security to people on both sides of the border. Unfortunately, Philip Gordon, National Security Council coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf, was not speaking of a border fence between the United States and Mexico, but a fence between the West Bank and the 1967 Israeli border. That fence, he said, would be built after Israel relinquishes the territory in exchange for an empty promise of ‘peace’ with the Palestinians. Apparently Gordon hasn’t noticed that missiles fly over fences. If anyone needs more proof that the land-for-peace formula was stillborn when first proposed, Gaza is the latest example. … Gordon repeated the oft-heard statement that the United States is ‘Israel’s greatest defender and closest friend,’ but friends don’t ask friends to commit suicide, which is precisely what the false doctrine of moral equivalency would bring to the Jewish state.”
