The Wall
APRIL 5, 2010 MONDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
The story of the West Bank Barrier separating Israel from the Palestinian territories, which will be completed later this year, is a sad tale. And we wouldn't be telling it if we hadn't found a Here on Earth angle: French journalist Rene Backmann has been covering the conflict for 25 years and has written a book about the wall from both sides. He joins us with an Israeli couple whose organization, Yesh Din, helps carry Palestinian grievances through the Israeli justice system.
