Have your own message written on the border walls betwen palestine and Israel

What's it good for, writing on the Wall?

The Wall won't fall just because your text is written on it. True.
But your message reminds Palestinians trapped inside the Wall they have not been forgotten. You help to keep hope alive. 'Our' Palestinians want to send you one single, simple message: "we are human beings, just like you, with sense of humour and lust for life." That's why they do this, and enjoy it.


Imagine you are Palestinian. Your family for generations has owned a hotel. Suddenly the hotel is on the other side of the Wall. So, in Israel. You have no permit to visit Israel. You can't work in your own hotel anymore. The Wall kills business.
Your husband (Palestinian) always had a permit to work in East Jerusalem. He lived with you and the kids, on the West bank, next door. The Wall now is in between. The husband is forced to live and stay in East Jerusalem. Or else: no job. The Wall tears families apart.
Your family has 500 olive trees, which is enough to live from. But now the olive trees are behind the Wall. The only person allowed to cross the checkpoint and pick the olives is the 80 year old grandmother, since she is the official owner. The Wall ruins farmers.
Everyday stories in Palestine. Your text on the Wall reminds Palestinians they have not been forgotten. It helps them keeping hope alive. That's the message you are sending to them, whatever the words are. Thanks.
