Walls of the World in English and Hebrew
Here's a Power Point presentation that shows some of the walls and fences between countries around the World. If you think Israel is the only country in the world to decide that good fences make good neighbors, you're in for a surprise. Use your down arrow to go to the next slide (Hat Tip: Lance K).

carl,
i have to be honest...i was against the wall when it was in the planning stages...as it has cut terrorist activity to almost nothing, it is pardon the expression...a godsend
but i think the palis objection is that it looks bad from their side, and has been used as a land grab
they are wrong of course...but it doesnt really matter
Hey Carl,
Is their a better version out there because the slides in regard to Spain are messed up, at least when viewing with Firefox.
Also they forgot another one... the British "Peace Wall" (Orwellian speak if I ever heard as such).

Oops sorry Carl,
I was wrong, they did mention the walls of Ireland, I just couldn't read until I went to the site and was actually able to read out the full slide. But they did forget to write about how the Brits are using Orwellian language...
