About Me
- Name: Carl in Jerusalem
- Location: Jerusalem, Israel
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

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...
