Ordinarily
I say no nukes (unless they're being wielded by North Korea), but Wayne's reggaeton piece
-- the best article on 'spanish reggae' i've come across -- is brilliantly powered by plutonium-drank and/or heavy-moleculed
tetrahydrocannibols. an intensive course indeed.

YOU
ARE MAKING THE WALL PRETTY.
WE
HATE THIS WALL, GO HOME.
If I were confined to a walled ghetto (or jail, or concentration camp, or guantanamo) and some foreign guy with money & freedom waltzes in, paints pretty pictures on my walls, then leaves (the right passport renders all walls invisible), I'd probably be pissed-off.
To his credit, Banksy -- a Bristolean graffiti artist who hires a spokesperson -- does it with panache.
Although Arofish did it first; only B got the shine. 'It' being, specifically, decorating the Palestinian side of Israel's Apartheidy, Berliny Wall. Did I say Wall? Oops, I meant to say Security Fence.
Please excuse my slip-up: in a war against terrorism, clear language is the first thing to go.And remember: You can't have a cease-fire with armed terrorist groups, because you give them a veto over sugar.

yeah, those are a couple of the foreigners who've been writing on the wall. the wall is filling up pretty quickly. palestinians are no strangers to graffiti, the shit is scrawled everywhere. sometimes by the locals and sometimes by the occupying isralei soldiers. although most of what you see is slogans and logos of the factions, around qalqilya, a city completely ghettoised by the wall, with only one checkpoint to get in or out, i've seen pictures of trees and the beach painted by local children.- - - - - - - -

It was kinda before my time, but i'm pretty sure people travelled from all over to tag the berlin wall? The beautification of that wall drew international attention to the ridiculous situation. Did locals get pissed off about foreigners doing some of that work? can a parallel be drawn to this situation?- - - - - - - -

yeah, that would anger me too. Why not instead donate the money used to fly out there to an organization fighting for freedom of mobility to those who live restricted by the wall. Or if you don't want to be so "political" donate the money to educate those trapped.- - - - - - - -
