Ramallah -
This money machine looks so sweet. The little waste paper basket in matching colors with the flowers and the cash machine it self. Like it is made for Barbie and Ken. If there is one thing that worries me (apart from what Israel is doing to Palestine of course) is the role money plays in this country. I am stunned the land is not owned by the Public Authorities like the municipalities. Private people - probably living abroad - are the landowners of sometimes central parts of a city and they can become extremely rich. And then there is all this money from other countries flowing in to ensure stability. Like the European money that pays for the saris of the officials, the healthcare and some basic income for the poorest. Very important to help Palestine to build up the country but what will happen if this money stops. But then again I am not an economist. I do not even have a 'nose' for money in my own practice as an artist.
