Without getting into a collage level history class - The whole mess started in 1916 w/ the Sykes-Picot agreement (AISA minor ) the British , French and Russains cut up the middle east and the Ottoman empire and Palestine to become the Jewish state. The Muslims are trying to take it back ( in a nut) That's why Britain France are HVT and US after , so yes we need to build walls, and stop anyone for freely entering this country. ( remember a very small % of Germans were NAZIS)

Well enough to ask them with a promise not to reveal their answer?

To identify someone with a political party affiliation ignores those who facilitated and/or acquiesced in the activities of those in the "party" in charge. There are all kinds of "excuses" for allowing the things to happen, but they are just after-the-fact-excuses and not defenses to the failure to prevent the atrocities.

As was General Patton's feeling when they came upon the Death Camps. He rounded up the local citizenry and made them march by to see what their Leaders had done in their name, and what they allowed to happen.

It doesn't mention much about how the people already living there felt about that.

Remember the cute song we all sung in Sunday School about how "Joshua fought the Battle of Jericho, and the walls came tumbling down"

Well, they leave out the verse where The Lord ordered them to kill every living thing. Men women, children, and animals.

In today's world we call that genocide, and the pepertrators are hung as war criminals.

I suppose every radical Muslim feels that his "God" has ordered him to do much of the same.

People hearing the noise, seeing the activity, and being quiet. Fear.

AND I just reminded myself of the presence of foreigners among those in our Muslim communities who "are not right," but those in our Muslim communities ....

.. "hear no evil"
.. "see no evile"
.. "speak no evil"!

We may not have a war against Islam, but the Muslims have a war against us!

Assassins (Arabic: حشاشين‎‎ Hashashin) is a name used to refer to the medieval Nizari Ismailis. Often described as a secret order led by a mysterious "Old Man of the Mountain", the Nizari Ismailis were an Islamic sect that formed in the late 11th century from a split within Ismailism – itself a branch of Shia Islam.

Rashīd ad-Dīn Sinān (Arabic: رشيد الدين سنان‎‎), also known as the Old Man of the Mountain (Arabic: شيخ الجبل‎‎ Shaykh al-Jabal, Latin: Vetulus de Montanis) (1132/1135–1192), was a leader of the Syrian branch of the Nizari Ismaili state (the Assassins)

Rashid ad-Din Sinan was born in Basra, Iraq between the years 1132 and 1135. According to his autobiography, of which only fragments survive, Rashid came to Alamut, the centre of the Hashshashins.

The Nizaris posed a military threat to Sunni Seljuq authority within their territories by capturing and inhabiting many unconnected mountain fortresses throughout Persia, and later Syria, under the leadership of Hassan-i Sabbah. Sabbah is typically regarded as the founder of the Assassins, founding the so-called "Nizari Ismaili state" with Alamut Castle as its headquarters. Asymmetric warfare [a term also frequently used to describe what is also called "guerrilla warfare", "insurgency", "terrorism"], psychological warfare, and surgical strikes were often an employed tactic of the hashashin.

The word "assassin" has been used ever since to describe a hired or professional killer, leading to the related term "assassination", which denotes any action involving murder of a high-profile target for political reasons. (wiki: source 1; source 2; source 3)

Let these kids sing the verses left out


https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8RDoLI2MY9Q


And when the walls had finally been leveled
And the Army had taken the town,
They slit their throats and cut off their heads,
and the blood soaked into the ground..

Chorus

You've heard the tails about Mao,
And Pol Pot and Uncle Joe,
But when it comes to killing and genocide
We have the Battle of Jericho.

Chorus.


The song takes on a different meaning of what really happenned.

They were not involved. What we call Palestine was a Jewish state long before the British, the French, or the Muslims. The Jews were run out by the Muslims for the most part. They began returning in greater numbers in the 18th century. The British made a lot of promises to the Jews for their support in both World War I and II. They reneged and the Jewish organizations began a war of terror on the British. The Muslims are trying to take something that doesn't really belong to them.

What this has to do with walls I'm not exactly sure but walls have worked for the Chinese, Israel, the Romans, not the French because you have to support the concept as well as build the edifice.

They were making it "easier" to cross at those points to encourage those who wanted to cross to come there.

He was claiming the "funneling" concept (I envisioned herding cattle into shoots to corral them) reduced the amount of fence/wall and personnel to get the job done.

I saw some practical problems, but I'm figuring he knows.

funnel concept is an interesting idea. why not make agents job easier in apprehension of illegals.
