But isn't that no different than erecting political "walls" little different to the physical ones that Israel is erecting? Being an American, I'm not a big fan of carving up the world along ethnic lines.. I'm far more inclined to create the political, legal, and economic systems that encourage and reward people for tolerance and cooperation with one another. Hawk
