The new Berlin walls: Hungary, Saudi Arabia and Israel all constructing walls to keep people out


Wall-monger ... Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, one of the frontrunners for the Republic Party nomination for the US presidency, recently promised to construct a “great, great wall” along the US border with Mexico if he becomes president.


The war on walls ... members of the Migration Solidarity Group of Hungary (MIGSZOL) demonstrate in Budapest on July 14.

Hungarian soldiers have begun erecting a controversial fence on the border with Serbia, to keep migrants out. ... Lawmakers last week approved the building of the four-metre high barrier along the 175km border with Serbia, which unlike Hungary is not an EU member.


Major project ... this diagram shows Saudi Arabia’s proposed fenced barrier along the Iraqi border.

Saudi Arabia commenced construction of a 965km wall along its northern border with Iraq in September last year, as part of an effort to keep out ISIL fanatics. ... The completed wall — first proposed in 2006 — will consist of twin fences and a ditch, and will extend from near Turaif, where Saudi Arabia meets Iraq and Jordan, to Hafar al-Batin, on the Kingdom’s border with Iraq and Kuwait.


No breaching this wall ... a Palestinian woman walks alongside the 8-metre-tall wall, part of the barrier
Israel is building to separate the outskirts of Jerusalem from the West Bank, in the village of Abu Dis.

It's called a variety of names in a range of languages, but the barrier in Israel’s West Bank has been in construction for more than a decade. The stated function of the structure (which will be 700km long when finished) is to protect Israelis from Palestinian terrorism, but critics say the wall annexes Palestinian land.

1. Something there is that doesn't love a wall ...

2. the Jewish State's security barrier is made to keep jihadists

from attacking its democracy (the one that Freedom House points out is the only one in the ME). Saudi Arabia is a theocrat state, and Hungary has a pro-Putin guy in charge. That country's days as free are likely numbered.

3. Also the only one with a massive open air prison where no one can vote, or not live in fear, and 100 nuclear bombs.

5. you got something against jihadists?

4. The Great Wall of China, Hadrian's wall, and every walled castle have something in common, that does

not fit what is going on with this plan. We are not at war with Mexico and American businesses will continue having people and goods across the imaginary border. This first promise, like the GOP and Teabaggers have said they wanted for years, always fails because the big money wants the status quo to continue. They want cheap labor from south of the border, it's why they insist on keeping migrants illegal for full exploitation.

He also says he will bring back jobs from Asia. As far as the second claim, he needs to prove he can do it by getting some jobs back here NOW with his pals around the world. I predict neither of these things will ever come to pass as they are illogical.
