In Palestine , it was decided that a wall was needed, to separate the two sides, the Lebanese did the same, thinking they could keep Israel out, although Israel paid for both walls, they never worked. As a matter of fact, yes, walls finally prove to be a futile exercise in preventing different sides from moving into the other territories, and creating havoc, crimes, theft and perpetual brutality, so dear President Trump, don't feel bad if those obstinate and wretched Democrats wouldn't give you your wall.
Let us look at some other walls, historically and from different parts of the world, considering their effectiveness and results. The Palestinian wall, was built within their lands, in the hope to separate themselves from intruding brutal and greedy Zionist settlers, Israeli army, police and secret services, private militias, even the Israeli Judicial system, it was a big, tall all concrete wall, high enough to shield all of the pre 1967 lands left to them to live and cultivate, they even decorated their side with nice colored graffiti, did it prevent the Israeli Zionists from invading the palestinian side, stealing their lands, killing and imprisoning them?? The Palestinians made the Israelis pay for their wall, did it prevent Israel with its hegemony, apartheid and colonialism from crossing over to the Palestinian side ?? clearly not .
The Lebanese, and after an Israeli brutal bombardment and invasion of their territories that lasted more than two decades, finally managed to push back and defeat the trespassers. They forced the Israeli side to pay and build another big, tall concrete wall, did it prevent Israeli incursions into Lebanon?? Did it stop Israel's American fighters from flying over Lebanon on daily basis?? Using Lebanese airspace regularly to bomb Syria and other Middle-Eastern countries, as if the big wall didn't exist, Israeli forces even kidnap on regular basis Lebanese farmers and shepherds exactly where the wall is highest, as if nothing could and will stop them.
To look at some other walls, historically, let's remember the famous Berlin wall, East Germany at the time thought it would prevent the evil West from polluting their paradisiac achievements, and protect them all the way to Russia, well !! it failed, the West demolished the wall and took over the entire country and its allies.
Back in history, the Mongols made China pay and build a wall, they even called it the Great Wall, it worked for a while, but at the end it failed as well, and now China is all over the place as you very well know, even here in our America.
So if we're to learn anything from other fantasy dreams, if we are to learn from history, the one lesson would be ; That walls don't really work, some side will always find a way and a will to breach the wall and its symbolism, to destroy its sanctity, they will always be an aggressor and an aggressed, no matter how tall the wall is, no matter how we look at it we will always be the one side or the other. Walls generally benefit the weaker and poorer side, the side that cannot defend itself against the aggressivity of the other side, but it always proved itself an exercise in futility .
Mr. President, all Americans know for sure that your proposed wall is not a good answer or even a reasonable solution to our immigration situation, it will have a zilch effect as a matter of fact. The whole and only story is about your own ego, about having a long and great wall, standing there for eternity, and proudly called "The Trump Wall" An addition to the failing Trump towers, Trump hotels and Trump golf-clubs. It might turn into your greatest monument carrying your name, outdoing all other US Presidents with their petty libraries and other insignificant creations, that will be a knock out to Obama.
Mr. Trump, walls do not constitute a replacement to sane policies and valid strategies, walls are pure cheap political tactics, pure show and publicity, ask our greatest allie ever Mr. Netanyahu. In Israel/Palestine they know it, in Lebanon they know it, in Germany they knew it, and the Chinese now use their wall for postcards pictures and tourist attractions. The wall on our southern borders will never replace intelligent and reasonable immigration reforms and proper immigration policies. Let's all wise up man!!!! All my gratitude to my readers .
