The article examines graffiti on apartheid walls in Palestine as of January 2015. It argues that Palestinians and their supporters use graffiti to make their voices heard by the international community by painting walls in Bethlehem and Jerusalem with messages that are different from those in the walls of refugee camps and cities. Also discussed are the transnationalization of graffiti, the social and political aspects of graffiti, and Israeli repression and censorship of Palestinian society.
