Optional Tour
As we all know, Israel and Palestine have always had a volatile relationship. See the wall built to restrict Palestinians from free movement around the West Bank, known as “the separation wall” by Israelis, and known as “the wall of shame and apartheid” by the Palestinians. Here you will also see much political graffiti representing peace but also of sadness. You may see the famous “Flower Thrower”, “The Armoured Dove”, “The Girl Frisking a Soldier” and more. Some of the work by the famous artist Banksy has been covered up or torn down. Meet with a Jewish Israeli member of the Alternative Information Centre (AIC). This NGO was established by Palestinians and Israelis as a bi-national organization to promote human rights and a just peace for both, Palestinians and Israelis. This evening seminar is optional.
