The West Bank Wall

Since we were in Jerusalem, we wanted to visit Bethlehem for Christmas. Seemed like the thing to do. Looking at the map it’s close. It’s gotta be easy to get there, right? We could just hop a cab or even walk a bit. Oh wait…look at that. There’s a 26 foot wall surrounding Bethlehem. In fact it’s 436 miles long and surrounds the entire West Bank!!!

Banksy made some headlines recently, creating some artwork on the wall to raise awareness about the situation in Bethlehem. Here’s a slideshow of some of what we saw.
