Vandalism or Art?


"An Israeli girl looks at a graffiti artist spray-painting a bomb shelter in the southern Israeli town of Sderot, neighbouring the Gaza Strip. A group of foreign urban artists are in Israel decorating bomb shelters in Sderot, a town frequently targeted by home-made rockets from the neighbouring Gaza Strip."



"Details of graffiti spray-painted on a wall in Kabul. On walls around Afghanistan's scrappy capital, where million-dollar mansions line rutted, unmade roads, anonymous grafitti artists are daubing their disapproving take on the devastating cost of war."






"Pedestrians walk past street art in Hosier Lane that contained a street art stencil by British graffiti artist Bansky in central Melbourne."





"Ultra orthodox Jews look at Spanish graffiti artists working on a large spray painted portrait of the Lubavitcher Rabbi, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, (1902-1994), known for his follower as the “Messiah”, on the outside of a bomb shelter of Chabad Center in the southern Israeli town of Sderot, neighbouring the Gaza Strip."



"A pedestrian stands near street art in Hosier Lane that contained a street art stencil by British graffiti artist Bansky in central Melbourne. An Australian council is rueing a decision to send street cleaners into the Melbourne lane after they painted over a priceless stencil of a rat by the celebrated graffiti artist Banksy."
