Between Jerusalem and Ramallah, not only is there now a huge existing wall on the ground, but also a non-tangible wall in the people’s minds. It is only a short drive between those two cities, yet when those living in Jerusalem were asked whether they knew the way to Ramallah, none of them could answer. To them, Ramallah sounds far, seems far. It is a world apart within 15 minutes.
