A gripping sight that can make you depressive just by looking at it, the Wall Israel is constructing around the Westbank has also become a public place for artists and desperate Palestinians to express themselves.
To protect itself against Palestinian suicide attacks, Israel started constructing the Israeli Wall around the Westbank in the early 21st century. Even though this decision has been labeled as illegal according to international law, construction still continues. Looking at the map, it is clear to see how Israel, in the process of wall building, confiscates land belonging to Palestinians: it does not respect the 1967 borders or Green Line and conveniently confiscates land by building the Wall inside Palestinian territory. In the process, it annexes illegal settlements on Palestinian territory; it has been calculated that no less than 46% of the West Bank territory is confiscated. Furthermore, it makes life for many Palestinians much more complicated. If you want a clear example of addressing the consequences, but not the cause, the Wall is your perfect example. It only makes the situation of the Palestinians more desperate, and by taking away their view, also takes away any solution that might be looming at the horizon.
