A worker helps erect a security wall in Toronto for the upcoming G20 summit in the city's downtown core, later this month.

It’s funny how a three-metre concrete and wire security barrier is viewed as a legitimate and necessary construction to protect a bunch of politicians and diplomats gathering for the G20 summit in Toronto. Put that same bit of wire and concrete between Israel and the West Bank, to protect men, women and children from suicide bombers, and it becomes the tool of an apartheid state.

Doesn’t that speak volumes about the filters through which the world sees Israel?
