Now there are questions as to whether or not that wall should come down, especially have 2004 the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to take it down. There are a lot of issues with this wall, including the fact that it was originally to prevent attacks towards Israel. It hasn’t been successful doing that but it has crippled the economy of Palestinians living in the West Bank. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Ben Mankiewicz, and Dena Takruri (AJ+) discuss the wall.
