You Pay They Spray


Ever wanted your name or message thrown up on the Israeli separation wall in the West Bank, but plane tickets are way too pricey and you hear it’s not the safest neighborhood these days? Good news! A new project courtesy of the Palestinian Peace and Freedom Youth Forum now allows anyone to post a message on the massive separation barrier that Israel has been erecting, allegedly to keep out terrorists.

By paying 30 euros, you can send a message through the PFF’s website www.sendamessage.nl and volunteers will spray it on the wall for you. According to the website, “You can write almost anything. Nonsense and humor are okay. But hurting people (in Palestine, Israel, or anywhere else) isn’t.”

If you’re worried about where your hard earned money is going, relax. The site assures you that not a cent of it will go towards buying weapons. The project was created to help fund a series of Palestinian grassroots projects in the social, cultural, and educational field.

The sender receives three digital images, via e-mail, of their message going up on the wall.
