The article I chose is called “Peace on the Fence? Israel’s Security Culture and the Separation Fence to the West Bank”. Obviously, this article discussed about Israel identity in the separation barrier. As we know, the separation barrier is a way to protect the new born country, Israel. Doing the research today, I found that a number of articles talk about the negative aspects of separation barrier. However, in this article, the author from historical perspective to discusses the separation barrier, and relate to today’s border conflicts. Then, It suggests what did it means to Israel society, and how does it affects Israel and Palestine relationship. I think it is interesting to mention that the opinion of this article about the separation barrier. The author believe that the separation barrier could make a peace in the future on the middle east, because the separation barrier could not be there forever. One day, Israel people and Palestinian will sit together to discuss about this problem.
The reason I am so interesting of this article is related with my background. Most of people heard about the Great Wall. The Great Wall has been built for the same reason as the separation barrier. It was to prevent the invasion of people from North. At first, it played an important role of protecting Qin Dynasty from the invasion. However, it didn’t work very well, so Qin Dynasty was destroyed. Eventually, the following dynasty, Han Dynasty decided to build a good friendship with people from North, so here is coming, China. Even if there were still a lots of difficulties in this process in the following history, it still proved that the separation barrier could be a way to help solve the problem.
