I like street shots like that, that just shows the life and the manner of a place. I also like the colorfulness of the photo

Nice shot, but the graffiti on the wall doesn't mean people of Israel. It is written in Arabic ( Lam ) which it means word L.

You're so wrong but what makes me interested is why are you so sure of yourself???
what's written on the wall is pure Hebrew.

I mean this phrase ( لام ) It means pronounced lam in Arabic. I am Arabic and I know the Arabic litters.

great but it's not written in Arabic..I'm Jewish and I know the Hebrew letters aswell as I know the arabic ones living in israel
anyway the phrase is in hebrew - עם ישראל חי
but what the hack, it's art

the whole graffiti said "am yisrael chi" which is a popular chant... but this is written in script hebrew, not block letters. There might be the exact same letters in Arabic (I only speak/read hebrew) given how similar the languages are to each other.
However - I only included the top two words of the graffiti for composition purposes.

what??????????? Arabic and Hebrew are related in sound but not even close in text! on the wall it's written Am Israel Chi which means The people of israel lives!
there aren't any arabic letters similar to the hebrew letters...
anyway, very nice capture... very Israeli

This is excellent Ben. The colours are great, and what really tops it off is the graffiti - it's symbolic and the whole thing just works so well.
I think you should do street photography more often
