In addition, the group stated that the attack was also a warning that the "controversial barrier is a Nazi wall which will not stop us attacking" (McGeal, Para 3). Although the measures taken by the Palestinians were almost identical to what the Israelis had done, they were still justified in their mind. One could say that they believe in Hammurabi's code: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. It could also be interpreted by the Golden rule, as quoted by "the greatest wise man of China" (The New Book Of Knowledge Vol. C, p. 460) Confucius, "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you". Based on these two beliefs, the Palestinians means are just regardless of lives or other costs. "They will fight for Allah, and they will kill and be killed and this is a solemn oath Our blood is cheap compared with the cause which has brought us together and which at moments separated us, but shortly we will meet again in heaven Palestine is our land and Jerusalem is our capital" (www.israel-wat.com, 1996 Para 7).
In addition to the slaughter of martyrs and innocent Palestinians, the Israelis are also taking land. In response to numerous suicide bombers, Prime Minister of Israel Ariel Sharon, lobbied for the building of a massive structure that has become known as the West Bank barrier. This so called barrier is more like a wall, with its dimensions being 440 miles long and approximately thirteen meters high. Of those thirteen meters eight are made of concrete and the other five are a combination of wire and mesh (Q&A What is the West Bank barrier?, Para 1). The barrier has caused a great deal of controversy, especially over the last few months. Protests are breaking out due in part to the placement of the barrier. Palestinians are aggravated since "the current plan looks suspiciously like the precursor to a structure which will hem them into 42% of the West Bank, something they believe Sharon has been planning all along" (Para 17).
