Take me to your leader

Of course these little creatures spread all over Jerusalem might also only be waterposts.

Lion of Judah over Jaffa

The moon was sadly shining over the Lion of Israel in Jerusalem's Jaffa Road (רחוב יפו‎, Rehov Yaffo, شارع يافا‎). Don't worry moon, it will get better.

Surrounded

In this house in Bethlehem, surrounded on three sides by the wall, lives a Christian Palestinian family. They described their way of life as being in "an open-air prison".

Testimony wall

On this part of the separation barrier in Bethlehem people have posted their stories of house demolitions and other incidents related to the conflict.

We found three of his street art pieces in Bethlehem, though only one of them was on the the actual separation barrier and others on different walls. There are plenty more Banksy graffiti in the West Bank / Palestine.

Stupidness is no excuse

Today, once again, it feels like the world's gone crazy. Gaza, Syria and now also Jordan in my mind: stay safe.

Cocacolonization 2

Bottles and cans everywhere. Coke is very present in Bethlehem.

Made in USA

Or maybe not made in, but at least sponsored by.

Refuse to be enemies

There are a lot of Israeli peace organizations working with Palestinians. There is hope.

Drawing the line

Especially when looking at it in Bethlehem it's quite clear that the separation wall does not follow the Green Line.

Hazard: IDF ahead

At first I didn't even realize that this warning sign of IDF soldiers was not real but made by a local artist from Ramallah.

Peace and love?

Today (October 20th) the Gaza-bound Estelle-boat was intercepted by Israel. We would really need some good news now.

Barbed Bethlehem

I'm having a hard time understanding the point of the barbed wire close to the separation wall.

Girl with a gun

Liberation fighter Leila Khaled has gained the status of a poster girl of Palestinian armed struggle. She was not too happy with this pin-up position and had 6 plastic surgeries in order not to wear a face of a hijacker / an icon.
