The reason that the barrier is outrageous is not that it's made out of concrete; it's because of its location. It criss-crosses into the West Bank [1].

Thanks a lot for the resource, I'll have a close look at the whole http://www.btselem.org/ site.

Np. That was just the first thing I found on Google; b'tselem does not have a neutral point of view. But the fact is that the wall is being built mostly on the West Bank side of the pre-1967 borders.

You might also be interested in this talk, which if memory serves discusses the wall's impact on the community: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSkevV-CoO4
