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.
Artists and desperate Palestinians have taken the opportunity to decorate the Israeli Wall, making it not only less ugly, but also interesting to walk along. Here, you can find slogans in many languages, graffiti, and pictures plastered on the wall. Some are obvious, some make you stop, wonder and ponder. And some make you outright sad. Sad for the situation of these people, for the injustice done, for the apparent absence of any possible solution to this conflict that has poisened the region. Building walls means blocking out contact, means giving up, means a quick but not a structural solution. Even though the wall may have its function as a carrier of art, one can only hope that it will disappear soon. If it ever does, the next problem would arise: what to do with the new constructions built right next to the wall on Palestinian territory?
