Speaking in Berlin today Angela Merkel called the fall of the Berlin Wall proof that dreams could come true during a ceremony to mark the event’s 25th anniversary. She added that its collapse offered hope to regions where “freedom and human rights are threatened or even trampled on.”
The German Chancellor also made reference to another November 9. On November 9, 1938 the Nazis unleashed their pogrom against the Jewish community - Kristallnacht.
But today's celebrations were all about the peaceful events in Berlin 25 years ago.

You could apply the Angela's speach to the wall in Palestine... when is the wall going to be knocked down?
