They are expressing their reaction to it, and most of the time it is a negative reaction, but also with hope. I like these art works, many are done by Palestinians too and others. They are a form of protest. As a Palestinian I do not feel that those who are drawing on the wall are trying to ‘beautify’ it.

I felt truely disgusted when I first saw the supposedly pretty paintings on the wall...art if possible should serve a noble cause and when it doesn't then at least it should not serve an evil one. Beautifying this beast is so insensitive and inconsiderate. If we stack corpses to form the pyramids or made them look like mounds of gold is that art too? And the last thing we need is another big lie about the wall being the largest art work in the world, won't that make Israel look good at least in the eyes of the ignorants?
