From the Ground: The Real Israel-Palestine

Ahmed: Wall is “Nonsense”

Sitting at his dinner table 200 meters away from the West Bank separation wall, our host Ahmed gave his opinion about the wall.

Calling it “nonsense,” he said that the barrier doesn’t keep any determined person out. He cited a large number of West Bankers who travel illegally to Jerusalem every morning to find work.

“If somebody wants to get in, the wall won’t stop them,” he said. “They’ll go over, under, around or just through a checkpoint.”
