THE SECURITY FENCE IS WORKING

Israeli City of Netanya Says Barrier is "Working"
The frequency of attacks by suicide bombers in Israel seems to be slowing, with many Israelis saying the reason is obvious - the barrier separating the West Bank from Israel is keeping out the suicide bombers. Maurice's cafe, La Creperie, is doing much better than it used to. "There is a big difference. People feel much safer, people are going out much more these days and it's all thanks to the barrier," he says. In this city there's no great debate about the barrier's legality. For Israelis here the equation is simple: the barrier has gone up and life has got better. (BBC News)
