Hillary Clinton Defends "Apartheid Wall"

Hillary Clinton Supports Israel's "Security Fence"
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said this weekend she supports the massive barrier that Israel calls a security fence. She said the barrier is outside the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the court should immediately recuse itself from the case.

"This fence is a legitimate response by a sovereign nation to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks," Clinton told reporters at a press conference outside United Nations headquarters.

Surrounded by Jewish leaders and former New York City mayor Ed Koch, Clinton issued rare praise for the Bush administration for opposing the court's decision to review the legality of the fence.

She also lauded Israel for building the fence, which she described as a restrained, defensive measure against terrorism. Critics of the massive barrier call it the "Apartheid Wall."
