Good art (including street art) raises questions, doesn't answer them. The first question one tends to ask is, "what is the artist trying to say?" A more useful question would be, "what do I see?" In this case, I see an Israeli flag without a Jewish star. In its place is the word salaam in Arabic. My paranoid, Jewish reaction is: Israel will be at peace when it is without Jews and Arabs can finally live there in peace. Perhaps that is what the artist meant? I cannot be sure what he/she meant (if anything), but I can be sure of my reaction: fear and distrust. If I ever had a chance to talk to the artist I would love to see how he/she responds to my response. I am working on Israeli Palestinian reconciliation here from my safe home in the US, and I have learned that many of my assumptions, especially those based on fear, are often unreliable as measurements of reality. Is this another example or is my paranoia justified? Salaam/Shalom
