This is an opportune time--during commemoration of the fall of the Berlin Wall-- for this article to be published. The comparison between the Berlin Wall and the Israeli wall currently under construction--the latter being more daunting in size--, during a time when people are revisiting their memories and emotions, their feelings on such divisions and their implications, is effective.
The article lacked quotes from Israeli officials, which, in my opinion, is crucial.
More on the Palestinian situation:
Mahmoud Abbas isn't running for re-election? Is this a new political tactic, a sort of bluff? Or has what's been echoing in the Middle East finally being said by a politician: the two-state solution is nowhere in sight.
One of the nice things about online articles, this one being an example, is that the author can embed videos in them, using sound and image to bolster his/her story.
Again, I would have liked to hear the Israeli point of view, as is included in this NYT article, covering the same topic.
