Levinson Tue, 22 Jan 2008 18:01:22 +0000 http://70.47.232.211/~karink/?p=845#comment-206 I read an interview with this fellow in the Jerusalem Post. He wanted to know if Israel had considered the environmental impact of the high new fence roughly separating pre-1967 Israel from the Palestinian Authority. The answer is yes-- all along the length of the fence there is lessened mobility of wildlife, in the brief stretches where the fence takes the form of a solid wall there is some interference with airborne pollen, and in the urban air of Israel there are far fewer flying body parts of blown-up citizens.
