Graffiti & Murals in Israel According to Israeli police, graffiti

transgressors are charged with defacing property, for which the punishment is up to one year in prison. In 2006, 487 such charges were brought countrywide.

For true Israeli flavor, nothing beats the ubiquitous signs of the devotees of Rabbi

Nahman of Bratslav.

Graffiti as a Coping Device Yitzhak Rabin Memorial

In memory of a peacemaker Kikar Rabin, Ibn Gvirol Street(at the side of City Hall)

Marking the spot of his

assassination in 1995 mourners immediately flocked to this area to light candles, to sing and pray together and to write their thoughts down in graffiti form on the surrounding walls. Some sections of the graffiti have been preserved and framed, along with information about Rabin’s life, the quest for peace and the events of November 4th 1995.

This is a Mural done

by local artist and children

near Haifa.

“Creating a mural gives a normal sense to a place,” he says. “So my job is to give a sense of the normal in this abnormal place.” He has even created a plan for a mural that would make the separation wall look like an aqueduct.

In painting these murals, Meiri sees himself as an ambassador for Israel. “I think I’ve done something to promote our culture,” he says. “This helps show that Israel is not just a place of war.”

Recreation of the Scene of a Suicide Bombing

An exhibition, at An-Najah University in the West Bank town of Nablus, was organized to mark the first anniversary of the Palestinian intifada.

A university branch of the militant Palestinian group Hamas built the exhibit, which recreates the scene of August 2001 attack on Sbarro Pizza house in Jerusalem.

A suicide bomber - Ezzaldin Almasri - blew himself and 15 other people up during a busy lunchtime at the restaurant.

Political Posters

Here are just a few you can view online, Please view more in the books.

PALESTINE: PEACE NOT APARTHEID

This Poster was created in Response to the three soldiers kidnapped during the 2nd Lebanon War of the Summer of 2006.

Reflections Compare and Contrast the

two sides. What are some differences?

“True, Israel is not just a place of war, it is also a place of debate. “Graffiti is actually like talkbacks,” Blich says. And as long as there are events to react to, there will be more writing on the walls.”

Please draw your own Political poster or graffiti on a piece of paper. It should express the conflict and express how you feel.

Look and research more about political art. It is Awesome.
