Israel hurrying up fence construction along Egypt

http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/20120216_17.html

Israel is speeding up construction of a 240-kilometer fence along its border with Egypt in response to souring relations between the 2 nations.

The Israeli military showed a construction site to media on Wednesday.

The metal fence is 5 meters high and covered with barbed wire. The construction is about 40 percent complete.

Maginot Line Part 2 . . . do they realize how that worked out for France? Or how our 'border fence' would be an abject failure in the U.S.?
