FROM INAUGURATED TO MOST DESPISED
According to German author Wolfgang Mider, ‘Good fences make good neighbours'. Really? Eventhough a version of this saying exists among several cultures and uttered in many languages globally, it is totally ambiguous, nonsensical, let alone true, not to mention ridiculous.
Historically, during the the Cold War, more than 3 million East Germans escaped to West Berlin. So, in order to stem this mass exodus the Communist East German authorities erected the Berlin wall almost overnight. This wall was in fact a 'Wall of Shame' because it divided a nation, spit families and especially considering that the Western Deutsche mark was worth six times more than the Eastern Deutsche mark. It stymied peoples potential to earn and move freely. After the fall of the wall, seventy five percent of East Germans interviewed, said the fall of the wall had improved their lives substantially. So how could the Ashkenazi German-Jew Wolfgang Mider get it so wrong? At a another point in time there was the "Black wall of Death" at Auschwitz-Birkenau Germany -- the “Final Solution" to the the Jewish Question (die Endlösung der Judenfrage). It served as backdrop to Jewish and Polish executions during world war II. Then there is the Western Wall -- a surviving remnant of the Temple Mount-- in Jerusalem where Jews mourn and wail.
From the above it is clear that the Jews seem to know a lot about walls. No wonder the Jewish State of Israeli built a barrier wall along the West Bank -- Green Line. Splitting-up innocent families, separating them from their crop fields, restricting their movements, denying them access to parts of the city. Making the Palestinian's lives miserable. Israeli Jews call it a security barrier against terrorism. But in reality the wall promotes racial segregation, it's an "apartheid" wall.
'The Great wall of china' was built by the Qin Dynast to protect its citizens and its territory from hostile nomadic invasions. But it also restricted peoples movements, locked them in, effectively it imprisoned them. This may have been necessary centuries ago, in a hostile and uncivilized world. Are walls of such a nature really necessary in a modern day world with organisations like the EU (European Union) and the AU (African Union) than can amicably resolved issues at a global level? Walls invariably serve different purposes but in general, walls divide. Walls are exclusionary. Walls are tools of discrimination. Walls exude intolerance. Walls are just down right shellfish and disruptive.
Having said that, Donald Trump is discriminatory, exclusionary, and intolerant of Mexicans and wish to promote all these sick values by erecting a wall between Mexico and the southern border of the United States. For starters the proposed 1078,26 km by 17 meter high concrete wall. This Trump Border Wall is the epitome of poor leadership and bad governance. Not surprisingly, Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu with his bad judgement backs Trump's Mexico wall, and even suggested a similar wall on the Egyptian border as a 'great idea'. Be that as it may, with a conservative estimated price tag of 2.5 million USD per kilometer, the Trump Wall project could cost American taxpayers more than 2698 million USD because Mexico will downright refuse to foot the bill. Besides destroying kilometers of the local environment and ecosystems, the wall would also inhibit the free movement for animals that need to travel for food and water. The wall would also disrupt the mating pool of wildlife, both big and small, which would potentially lead to a decline in genetic diversity and perhaps extinction.
Donald Trump's issued a presidential order to restrict innocent Iranian, Iraqi, Libyan, Somalian, Sudanese, Syrian and Yemeni Muslim from entering the United States borders. This equates to an unadulterated hatred of Muslims. Donald further confirmed his Islamophobia or Muslimophobia stand when he stated that Syrian Christians will get priority refugee status over Muslims. In essence that makes Trumps order unconstitutional, immoral and un-American. Donald trump is currently the most unpopular president of America but with his bombastic attitude is soon to become the most unpopular, most disliked, even most hated president in the world.
America constitutes communities of immigrants from all parts of the world. Even Donald Trump's German forebear Frederick Trump was an immigrant who worked as barber and a hotel manager. What gives him the right to deny other immigrants willing and intent to make a like alongside all the other immigrant families of the world. Shellfish and arrogance comes to mind. Or perhaps it's genetically inherited from his German ancestry who were also very familiar with walls.
