More "oppressive apartheid racist dehumanizing" fences
Imshin points out some discrepancy in terminology.Here is a fence, built to keep apart two peoples of two different religions, two peoples who are not able to live together. What is it called, this fence? Is it called an Apartheid Wall? No it isn�t. It is called a PEACELINE.From the article:
Manor Street has been the scene of sectarian skirmishing for more than 20 years, with occasional fights that have given it a reputation as one of Belfast's most difficult and dangerous areas. The street is now bisected by high peacelines of railings, steel walls and fenced-in open ground that provide several layers of separation between Protestants and Catholics.

Over the years more than 50 houses - some of them brand new - have been torn down.Hmmm, house demolitions too. Where's the ICJ? Where are ISM human shields? Anybody? Bueller?
