another image covers the wall isthe martyred mother, carrying her son who is killed by the Israeli guns. The separation wall becomes a meansto communicate the experience of occupation and a stage to ask for peace. Theartists frame their issues to put pressure over their governments,international politics and organizations; and this does not mean that the Palestiniansare against their own government, yet, they are against the occupational forcewhich reaches their government. Many artists frame their point of view aboutthe occupation by highlighting the absence of the basic human rights, otherartists took the issue farther to draw the relationship between USA and Israeland to show the role that the USA plays in providing aids to Israel, where thispart on the wall which describes the USA ties with Israel was called “theAmericanization of the Wall” a term first used by Hanauer.

Yet, Bansky’s art over the separation wall becomes the focus from theinternational press and the Western artists and unfortunately they forget themeaning behind this wall which is a racist and an occupational plan. As a well- known graffiti artist, he drew nineimages on the racist wall during his trip to Jerusalem in 2005, his aim was tostress the idea of racism behind this wall and to highlight its function, heexplained “turning Palestine into the world’s largest open-airprison” (Parry. 2005). In one of his painting, he drew a simple thin girlholding
