If you didn't know, there are huge walls in Israel that seperate one people from another. These walls were built recently and are a sad part of the country's history. We were very lucky to have Danny Seidemann (a prominant expert on Jerusalem, Journalist, and activist) speak to us about some of the political issues pertaining to the seperation walls and he actually took us to some places, not even 5 miles away that you can see the structures up close. The walls were put up to seperate the Israelis from terrorism but they have not made anything better for anyone. Unfortunately, the walls seperate families and friends and make life on the other side 3x harder. Danny talked to us about his opinion on the wall and what should happen in the future. It was good to see what his thoughts are and an important learning experience for all of us.
