· Syria wants it to come down as it has been declared illegal by the international criminal court.

· Israel has ignored this many times throughout history

· Its disconnection of family and friend and has allowed cheap labor for Israel.

· Syria and the entire Palestinian nation want it down because it cuts through and separates some of their land. But Israel continues.

· Syria wants the Palestinians to dismantle it because when Israel pulled out of the Gaza strip they bulldozed houses and villages leaving the land in worse condition than they found it and Syria would be afraid that they would do the same thing to the land the green wall goes through and since all that land is Palestinian land they shouldn’t be allowed to do it anyways.
