[B]You're forgetting who built that wall, and why. The Israel-Palestine wall is being built to keep people out. The Berlin wall was built to keep people in. There is a rather substantial difference.

I think your hypothetical is missing a few things. It'd probably be closer to imagine what would happen if the U.N. decided that the Native Americans deserved their land back and gave them, say, Oklahoma. Now, no one can say that the Indians don't have a historical claim to the country; they were living here thousands upon thousands of years before folks from Europe showed up. However, the people who currently live in Oklahoma will probably be a little upset at having to pack up and move.
I'm not saying the Palestinians are necessarily in the right; I just think it was a little unrealistic for the Israelis to act as though they could just walk back into their ancestral homeland and find all the plates in the same place and that no one had changed the locks in two millennia. It just strikes me as bad manners to show up one day and say, "My great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather lived here before he was forced out. I've come to reclaim my home. Get the hell out, you triple-damned squatter."
Hm. I forgot how hard it is to type with a cat sitting on my lap.
Hey if the wall keeps the damn murderers out of Israel, then its fine with me. Now as for the innocent Palestinians who only wish to work, that is a sticky situation.
