The separation walls I have seen are huge concrete monsters. The “wall” – whatever it is made of – is a necessity only to secure lands and resources that have been stolen from their rightful owners who were living there well before the state of israel was foisted on them by foreign governments.

If it inconveniences a demographic that is generally disruptive to the State of Israel, too bad. If there is a “silent majority” out there, let them speak out and ask for an end to the civil unrest that makes the wall a necessity.
