Some might call it, Art some may call it vandalism. Either way it needs to be taken down. Hopefully they find who did it so they can pay for it being taken down.
Looks like some passionate art as opposed to gang graffiti. It would be cool to see a designated area for street art that would revolve pieces every month or so. There are some extremely talented artists out there!
Yeah, it’s art as long as it not on the side of your house or on the building across the street.
These punks should be caught and punished to the MAX. These are NOT artists, they are vandels.
If people rob a store with a gun is it passionate shooting?
ANON – lol that’s some whacky logic there.
There used to be a grafitty haven at UCSB. After more than a decade someone violently attacked an artist and they stopped the artfull-over-layering-of-new art on wooden structures at the UCEN.
Someone had to screw it up!!! Shout out to Saphire out of NYC for starting that proj. sad Violence ended it.
To clear up, Saphire was the artist fron NYC who was given the project by UC. The Project ended when others, locally, became territorial and violent.
People who do graffiti do it for attention to their cause or their “art.” Publishing pictures of their illegal acts is giving them EXACTLY what these criminals want and only encourages them. I’m all for free speech but there are other ways to exercise it without defacing public property, spraying noxious chemicals into the air, and leaving garbage and spent cans nearby. Please don’t encourage them further by publishing their “droppings” on Edhat.
Idiots posting pictures of the vandalism the vandals want everyone to see. I guess no one said the dude that runs edhat was smart.
LANZEHTA – you can leave and stop reading any time you want.
How about just trying to point out that rampant vandalism is happening and these artists should be made to paint over their vandalism during their community service sentences.
The Free Gaza one is infuriating. I hope they mean free it from Hamas. To those with limited awareness about the conflict, this type of vandalism suggests that Israel is at fault for this war, totally ignoring what happened on October 7 and Hamas’ continued threats to repeat it if left unchecked. This pro-terrorism graffiti needs to be erased immediately
It’s not pro-terrorism. Only someone with a “limited awareness about the conflict” and the history of the region would think supporting a free Palestine is the same as supporting Hamas.
That’s not even art, it’s tagging.
The murals on Haley are art. This is just vandalism and someone wanting to “feel good” with a can of spray paint
Some, not all.
How about fingerprints on the spray cans? And people should demand an end to Israeli domination of Palestine and create two autonomous states. What is there now is close to what the Russians are doing to Ukraine.
Ridiculous comment. Gaza has been autonomous for 20 years. Nice try there bub
CALIB says “Gaza has been autonomous for 20 years.” – You really should work on your vocabulary. A place can’t be “autonomous” if it has been subject to blockade imposed by another country for 15 or so years, in addition to the restricted movement of people in and out of the territory.
We all know how you feel about the innocent Palestinian people being bombed by the tens of thousands, but at least have a shred of honesty about you.
You know of course that Gaza shares a border with Egypt. Has Egypt been blockading Gaza for fifteen years?
Gaza is not a “territory” it’s an autonomous area ruled by a political party which was voted into power–it’s not the West Bank.
No, ALEX, ISRAEL has been blockading Gaza.
And enough with the “people chose Hamas” BS. That was almost 20 years ago and they haven’t had a choice since. The majority of the population of Gaza wasn’t even of voting age or even alive back then, so no, it’s not so simple.
Oh, I’m not saying anything is simple.
I’ve talked to people who had literally no idea that Egypt controls a border crossing with Gaza or that they even share a border–these people believed that Israel had total control over Gaza even after removing all of their military forces.
Because they 100% buy the propaganda that Gaza is an “open air prison” and a “hell hole” and a “concentration camp” , etc.. As if Israel has had a single soldier or any other Israeli in Gaza in the past 18 years.
And they buy the propaganda that Gazan’s (prior to October 7, 2023) were unable to leave Gaza because…they believed that Israel controlled the entire Gaza Strip.
Which of course is false.
So, yes, Israel has been blockading the Gaza Strip WITH EGYPT for the last eighteen years.
Amazing how many people don’t know that. But, the facts matter.
I get it, ALEX. But…. not sure about the claim that Israel hasn’t had a single soldier in Gaza since the election.
Sorry, you’re right about that. They have periodically been at war since then, with Hamas and Israeli cross border incursions occurring.
I should have stated that there has been no attempt at occupation, very different indeed.
However, it is important that the Israeli government decided in 2005 to unilaterally and completely withdraw from Gaza including dismantling and in some cases forcibly evicting 9000 Israelis from contested areas.
But ALEX, to be fair, Gaza has had some degree of autonomy, but it’s hardly been a free and sovereign area by any means of those words. My disagreement lies with how many people, such as CALIB, show such blatant hate towards all Palestinians and blame all their woes, including the tens of thousands of dead children, on the vote that took place almost 20 years ago to elect Hamas.
The people of Gaza have not enjoyed true freedom for decades. That’s really my point.
Hi sacjon
Israel and Egypt both Blockade Gaza. Jordan and Israel blockade the West Bank
Hi EDNEY – Yep. Even more evidence that Gaza is oppressed and not truly as autonomous as many like to say it is.
