"The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand. The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. The walls between races and tribes; natives and immigrants; Christian and Muslim and Jew cannot stand. These now are the walls we must tear down."
We will not forget your words, Senator Obama. We will not forget the walls still standing, the walls yet to be torn down. In Gaza and the West Bank; in Baghdad, Mosul, Fallujah; along the U.S.-Mexico border fences separate friends and family, create enmity, harm environments and economies, fuel injustice.
