Without digital technologies, surveillance, and the militarisation of the border, walls would not be nearly as effective, for these barriers are not necessarily a successful means of preventing border crossings as they have always been breached.

Outsiders do not get in because borders are lax, rather they simply find another way through, often increasing their risk of fatality by doing so. Despite inherent dangers of migrant journeys, millions of people continue to cross borders all over the globe without authorisation. The fact that this continues to occur, despite the plethora of new walls, suggests walls are not necessarily a practical prevention. Borders are often very long and extremely diffcult to fence as well as requiring the necessary maintenance for their continued upkeep. As at February 2020, only one-third of the US-Mexico’s 3,170km border had been completed (Miro & Blanco, 2020). Even the heavily fortified 708km Israeli-West Bank barrier was only two-thirds finished after 15 years of construction (Jones, 2016: 4).

In addition, border barriers are not effective because terrorists or drug smugglers do not enter through the land border, but rather, a significant share of unauthorised arrivals in OECD countries enter with a valid visa and never leave (Krishnadev, 2019: 1-9).

Likewise, illegal goods enter through shipping ports and airports as well as through tunnels built underground. To this end, Israel has started construction of a subterranean wall along the Gaza strip to prevent people from tunnelling under (Estrin, 2018: 1-6).

In fact, the tunnels into Gaza supply everything from building materials to food, clothing, computers, and livestock, as well as weapons. Work in and around the tunnels is believed to sustain 15,000 workers, and trade through the tunnels is estimated to raise as much as $750 mil- lion a year in taxation alone for the Hamas government (Verini, 2012: 42).

Global Terrorism Index by MENA Country

MENA countries differ greatly in their levels of development and hence in the needs of their populations. A first group of MENA countries is constituted by highly unstable regions such as Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. In these areas, regaining stability and security is the utmost priority.

Country averages in the MENA region, where data are available, is 5.8. The highest scores are those of the UAE (7.3), followed by Israel (7.0). Nevertheless, all scores remain much lower than the highest score worldwide (8.5) (Clifton 2012).

Similarly, the rankings of 85 countries in the World Happiness Report of 2013 indicated that people in the MENA region generally experienced low levels of happiness. Some exceptions were Israel, which ranked 11th, followed by the UAE(14th) and some of the small Gulf countries; Oman (23rd), Qatar (27th), Kuwait (32nd) and Saudi Arabia (33rd). Bahrain (79th) and Libya (78th) fell in the quartile of low-happiness countries.

Using the Fragile States Index 2014,7 countries are ranked into 11 groups, ranging from “very high alert” to “very sustainable.” Sudan is in the “high alert” category; three MENA countries (Yemen, Iraq, and Syria) are also in the “high alert” group; Egypt is in the “alert” group; Libya, Iran, and Lebanon are in the “very high warning” group; Israel, Algeria, Tunisia, Jordan, Morocco, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia in the “high warning” group; Bahrain is in the “warning” group; Kuwait and Oman are in the* group; and Qatar and the UAE are in the “stable” group. None of MENA countries is found in the “very stable” category.

Using the Corruption Perceptions Index, which ranks countries and territories on how corrupt their public sector is perceived to be (on a scale of 0–100, where 0 = highly corrupt; 100 = very clean), data show that the UAE (69), Qatar (68), Israel (61), and Turkey (50) are the least corrupt in the region. The most corrupt are Sudan (11), Libya (15), Iraq (16), and Syria (17)

Israel abortion part 1

Well Israel, maybe you start learn that YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR ABORTION LAWS!

כיום בישראל, נשים יכולות לבצע הפסקת הריון בכל גיל וכמעט ללא מגבלות של המדינה.

Today in Israel, women can have an abortion at any age and with almost no state restrictions https://perma.cc/RVZ5-SV55

ARE WE SURE???

In 2014, there were 1,854 adolescents under 19 years of age who requested an abortion

Therapeutic indications for legal abortion refer to the woman’s physical or emotional health and wellbeing and to the risk of fetal anomalies. ere are also social indica- tions, such as age (under 17 and over 40) and being the victim of rape or incest, or unmarried. The need for com- mittee approval is a bureaucratic hurdle, and abortion remains illegal in principle for married women, but in 2020, for example, the committees approved 99.6% of the applications they received.

And shortly after the Dobbs decision, Israel’s parliament backed a ministry of health proposal to ease abortion policy before the 12th week of pregnancy and allow women access to abortion medication (the day-after-pill) from community health providers, with public funding and without need for committee approval.

At the same time abortion rates in Israel are relatively low compared to other countries and on a continuous decline, while fertility rates are relatively high. It has a popular culture of "be fruitful and multiply and fill the land" according to God’s commandment after creating man, male and female, in his own image,15 and in the shadow of the Holocaust and its six million victims.

Israel is also a world leader in biotech medicine including innovative repro-genetic technologies, with generous national health insurance coverage for almost unlimited access to medically assisted reproduction, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and related interventions.
