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.
As we had no idea where to find the Wall, we chartered a taxi. This was not easy, as the driver was not at all sure what we were looking for, and we failed to explain a wall with our hands. Eventually, the mystery was solved, and off we went. After less than five minutes, an ugly, grey 8 metres high concrete construction rose on our left hand side. The taxi driver had understood - we had arrived. The Wall. Meandering through the landscape, the monstrous Israeli Wall snakes its way around houses and roads, and it is therefore possible to walk along it for long stretches. From atop hills, you can see how the wall doubles and twists, until it disappears in the distance. A new and highly controversial step in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the construction carries different names: the Israelis call it the Security Barrier, while the Palestinians label it the Apartheid Wall.
