Nope, no wall on the border with Jordan and also in many places no wall or fence between Israel and Egypt wither. But we do have natural separator between Israel and Jordan - Jordan river and it's valey. Although in the north Jordan river is within Israeli territory. South of Dead Sea for the most part there is a deap valey that separates us

Assuming that you actually do have a paper to write, here is what I would look into. You should first of all note that for the vast majority of it, the "wall" is actually a "fence". That is why a more accurate description of it would be the "separation barrier". Secondly, the basic purpose of it is not to "separate Palestinians from Jews" its basic purpose is "to make it very difficult for terrorists to come from Palestinian areas." Thirdly, you may want to look into whether it has, in fact, achieved this goal of reducing terrorism. I would argue that it has, though it is only one measure of prevention. Actually, the USA has been called "Great Satan" independent of its support for Israel and thus to assume such a "name calling" would stop if they stopped supporting Israel is a poor assumption. Also, it begs the following question: Why should the USA make its support for Israel (or for anyone else for that matter) dependent on what some extremists think? Wouldn't a better argument be that it should be based on the USA's interests? (And the USA's interests include supporting democracy, of which Israel is one.)

It zigzags between Israel-proper and Judea & Samaria, with the hope of impeding Arab attackers from reaching Jews.

The building stopped in July 2007 due to lack of funds.
