Saudi Arabia Builds Another “Apartheid Wall” to Keep Out Terrorists
The Washington Times reports that Saudi Arabia has decided to build a 600 mile security barrier in response to concerns that ISIS and other terrorists may try to seize control of Mecca and Medina. The Saudis already have in place a 1000 mile security barrier to keep out terrorists from Yemen.
The article compares the Saudi fence-building fervor to China’s Great Wall that was constructed to keep out marauders beyond China’s northern border. But the design of the system of security fences and monitoring posts suggests the Saudis have taken their cue from another Middle Eastern nation’s attempt to stop terrorists from infiltrating. Israel devised a similar design to stem the epidemic of suicide bombers infiltrating into Israel from the West Bank during the Second Intifada. The Saudis apparently took note of the barrier’s role in virtually ending suicide bombings in Israel.
Unlike the furor that erupted over Israel’s decision to construct its security barrier, to date no demonstrations against the Saudi’s “apartheid wall” have transpired on American or European university campuses.
