The Israeli West Bank barrier is a security fence that was built for one reason and one reason only – to protect Israeli civilians from the relentless Palestinian terrorist attacks that started to escalate dramatically in 2000. Below is a chart of the actual civilian fatalities in Israel since the security fence was built. In 2002, the year before construction started, thousands of Israelis were injured and hundreds were killed due to the dozens of suicide bombings around the country. In 2009, for the first year in many, there were no suicide bombings.
