"Up to around ten years ago we were protesting the existance of a wall dividing the two Germanys, yet the Israelis have built exactly the same wall for the same purpose."

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall one of the Germanys sending suicide bombers into the other for the purpose of murdering innocent people.

Sheesh. That's because the wall was put up by their own government. So who are they going to kill, themselves?
