Israel's Berlin Wall goes up in Jerusalem
Israeli construction crews hoisted 25 ft high concrete slabs into the middle of a main road in a Palestinian suburb of Jerusalem today, cutting off thousands of people from the city they consider their home.
The impenetrable wall is part of a series of barriers Israel is building around much of the West Bank with the stated aim of keeping out Palestinian militants. Palestinians see it as an effort to take land they claim for a future state.
