Excellent interactive essay in The Guardian about the astounding number of new separation walls being built all around the world:

We have this fantasy that the "Great Wall of China" made no sense, and yet here we are building something similar. Why?
And why are the US, the UK, and Israel, which are so-called democracies, responsible for so many of these walls?
As President Ronald Reagan would say, "Tear down these walls".
