Graffiti Decorates “Separation Wall” in Occupied Territories

18 Jul

After the Second Intifada, the Israeli government began building a wall separating the Israeli and Palestinian territories, partially along the 1949 Jordanian/Israeli armistice line, but mostly through Palestinian-held territory. The erection of the wall continues to be highly controversial in the international community, and it is referred to by many as a “segregation” wall or an “apartheid” wall. Protest graffiti covers the Palestinian side of the wall, much of it referring to the peace process and the state-sponsored discrimination. Some of the most famous artwork adorning the wall is by British graffiti-guerrilla artist Banksy, who decorated portions of the Palestinian side of the wall and alongside Palestinian refugee camps. This particular painting is on a wall in the Palestinian city of Bethlehem. Read Hannah’s blog.

  • Can I simply just say what a comfort to find somebody who actually knows
    what they are discussing on the web. You definitely realize
    how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people need to look at this and understand this side of the story.
    I was surprised that you are not more popular since you definitely have the gift.
