SUNSET

The Israeli soldiers have used violence against Palestinian population, poisoning their grass, uprooting their olive-trees.

Sheep-breeding and agriculture are the main sources of living for the majority of the peoples of the Middle-East…if you repress these sources, you repress their lives.

Plants are living beings: if you cut their branches it’s like to mutilate human beings and their democracy, humanity and freedom.

The wall that rise at the horizon define borders and reduce liberty.

Beyond it you can see Israel and a scarlet red that is not the typical red of the sunset but the reflection of a destroying fire… a fire that consume men, animals, plants and things.

The sunset of democracy, of freedom of the Palestinian people.

And if you want to interpret it from the other side of the wall you could see the sunset of the Israeli civilization.
