This song is dedicated to Anarchists Against The Wall and all the ones who fight against the apartheid in Palestine
lyrics:
They build walls, they steal the land
The world ignores, deaf and blind..
The world ignores the tragedy of the exiles
Since Six days war Israel denies
No passage to Ramallah.. the invader now forbids
Theyre all ghurba**. No way for the refugees
They build walls, they steal the land
The world ignores, deaf and blind..
I hate the frontiers, I hate the borders
Borders of the body, of the writing, of the behaviours
Of the states..***
People lead to famine, convicted in a cage
Sheltered by U.S.A. the executioners take no blame
They build walls, they steal the land
The world ignores, deaf and blind..
* barrier
** refugee
*** Murid Al Barghouti “I saw Ramallah”

Tense situation on the US Mexico border – Nov 4 07
George Bush may have failed to pass major reforms this year to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the country. But with the countdown underway to the 2008 presidential election it’s an issue that’s already dominating campaigning. Some critics are arguing that the United States is busy protecting borders abroad in Iraq and Afghanistan – but neglecting their own at home, as Shaun Devitt reports.

Al Stewart at Grace CathedralInside Story – Israel wall: Security or apartheid? – 12 Jan 2010
Israel’s government has approved plans for the construction of a barrier along its border with Egypt in a bid to stop illegal entry, particularly by militants.
The latest Israeli move could divert some of the attention caused by the Egyptian plan to build a wall. Israel believes this is the best option to protect its borders with Egypt. The other option would be to amend the EgyptianIsraeli peace treaty to allow for more Egyptian border troops to be deployed.
Can fences and walls provide the security a nation seeks and where does it leave genuine asylum seekers from Africa?
