I told you last year that I thought the Wall was a good idea, and I still think it is, in general. In particular one reads that there are difficulties in the configuration of the Wall, places that are insanely difficult to justify in terms of day-to-day life for Israelis OR Palestinians. I remain hopeful that many of those difficulties are intended to be bargaining chips.

But sometimes a wall is just a wall. It reminds me of the ghettos or shtetels that Jews used to live behind in Europe - there were voluntary aspects, so that Orthodox Jews did not have to rub elbows with Gentiles (the meaning of Gentile is "unclean"), for one. Here in the US there are gated or walled communities, that rich people live inside so they don't have to rub elbows with the hoi polloi and the criminal elements.

Makes sense to me.
