In 2010 Mark Thomas walked the entire length of the wall separating Israel from Palestine. There are some amusing moments and some reports of kindness, mainly by Palestinians he encounters, but mostly incredulity at the way Palestinians are being treated - having to wait for hours at the barriers to get to Israel where they work, having their homes (and a clinic in one place) destroyed and appropriated, and many other atrocities. Important, horrifying and occasionally funny.
