Israel: About that wall


Boasting the “worst” views in all of Bethlehem Banksy’s ‘The Walled Off Hotel’ sits adjacent to the separation wall of Bethlehem that leads to Rachel’s tomb. This top class hotel sits alongside mesmerising graffiti all long the monument of separation bringing in the tourists to see for themselves ‘the wall’. It also has a very impressive museum to walk through too. 

With self playing pianos and interior the experience was surreal. 









Later that week ‘the wall’ cast its shadow upon us as we sat there feasting on a BBQ on a long table in the Wi’am Peace Centre as the sun went down. 






A saying came back to me whilst the sun started to descend and the cool of the evening came “when you have more than you need build a longer table not a higher fence
