IT'S ONLY BAD WHEN THE JEWS DO IT:
Spain builds own Berlin Wall to stop immigrants (Expatica, 22 September 2005)
Spain announces it is to make its frontier fence with Morocco as high as the Berlin Wall after 12 men are badly injured trying to get across existing fences into Melilla.In all 70 tried to break through the three metre-high fences which are topped with row upon row of barbed wire.
Twelve suffered broken bones, cuts and other injuries and were being treated in hospital.
One man was captured by TV cameras hanging from the barbed wire in apparent pain.
The latest assault came as Spain announced it is to make the frontier fences higher.
They will be the same height as the Berlin Wall.
Remember all the Euro chirping when Ariel Sharon started building the security wall? Posted by Orrin Judd at September 23, 2005 10:20 AM
Why aren't the Euros demanding these occupied North African colonial territories be returned to their rightful owners?
Posted by: Raoul Ortega at September 23, 2005 5:15 PMI hate to be stupid, but where does
Spain share a border with Morocco? I can't find Melillia on the map.
Between 28 August and 15 September, three would-be immigrants have died trying to get from Morocco into Spain's north African enclave, Melilla.

Posted by: jdkelly at September 23, 2005 8:07 PMBerlin wall--keep people in; all the other walls described above--keep people out. This is a foolish attempt at moral equivalency, as if shooting people trying to leave the jailhouse nations were the same as enforcing immigration laws.
