How to protest Israeli crimes within art
Author William Parry discusses his new book on BBC World News 24 about stories of graffiti artists and people affected by Israel’s apartheid wall and the Middle East conflict:
“Relationships with Palestinians make present the terrible things done in our name”
While most Israeli Jews are sleep-walking through their lives, mostly oblivious to Palestinians and the occupation, there are notable exceptions. The invaluable Israeli blog Promised Land gives the story. If only there were more Israelis like this: Poet Klil Zisapel was one of twelve Israeli women that took a group of Palestinian women and children…
