All Walls Are Not Equal

Take a look at this blurb in The New York Times:

A thriving industry allows West Bank residents to get past what Israelis call a security barrier. It has a dangerous side effect: Attackers sneak through as well.

Please explain to me why Israel's growing wall is a wonderful thing, praised on a frequent basis in the NYT, while Trump's non-existent wall is something that seemingly has spewed straight out of Satan's mouth.

The only possible explanation is a twisted perception that Israel can do no wrong, while Trump can do no right.

By the way, Trump's wall would help enforce an internationally recognized border, while Israel's wall helps further illegal land grabs.
