#1 What, they don't have a cement mixer in all of the West Bank? What have they been doing with all that U.N. relief money? (Fred, that's a rhetorical question :-)

I don't know about you, but I think having a truck bring over a few loads of concrete mix, followed by a mixer so I could blend it on the spot, followed by a truck loaded with forms and timber, and a pickup with a half-dozen laborers and a foreman, would be a better way to rebuild a wall instead of stacking smashed cars.

Then again, my way presumes the presence of a functioning society at a mid-19th century level or higher. Whereas the Paleos have lots of smashed cars handy.

If they run short of smashed cars, do they just ask the Israelis to supply some more?

#2 Makes even less sense when you remember that one of the industries owned by the PA (and Arafat directly) is the Cement/Concrete suppliers. Guess when there's no-one to ~~extort~~ invoice for the materials it's better to use battered cars. What a no-class operation of thugs
