On my way to and from visiting the person I thought was Jameel, I drove around the Dan (Tel Aviv) region and have come to a startling conclusion.

I now know why there is a green line and why Israel is building a wall.

If you think about it for a second, Yesh(a) isn’t the Negev, Golan or the Galil. It is a mere ten minute drive from some of the largest, densest cities in Israel.

Can you imagine what would have happened if the expansionist central Israeli with his dreams of overcrowded concrete jungles would have grown unrestricted over the green line a mere 10 minutes from his home?

The “Green” Line doesn’t refer to some green line on a map. It refers to where the land changes from asphalt gray to luscious green.

That by the way is the real reason the Israelis are building a wall.

While we settlers build homes with gardens, and farms and the like in our satellite communities, the Israelis of central Israel can’t stand the color, so they are building a wall to block it from their view.

Finally it all comes together.
