In France most of the people have always seen the Israeli concrete barrier as pretty outrageous. The least I can say after reading this article is that I'll need to carefully reconsider the facts with this new lighting in mind.

- Twisell 10y agoThanks a lot for the resource, I'll have a close look at the whole http://www.btselem.org/ http://www.btselem.org/ site.

But the fact is that the wall is being built mostly on the West Bank side of the pre-1967 borders. You might also be interested in this talk, which if memory serves discusses the wall's impact on the community: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSkevV-CoO4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSkevV-CoO4
