A Mission Street mural showing Palestinian resistance against approaching helicopters and tanks was defaced this week, with keffiyeh-clad faces scratched
out and “Fuck Hamas” sprayed across it.
The mural, which shows a man protecting his people by throwing something toward oncoming militia, reads “Resistance is justified when people r occupied” at the top. It states that billions of U.S. tax dollars go to the “illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine to bomb kill n’ steal life.
Another past vandalism to Chris Gazaleh’s mural at Mission and Cortland streets. Photo courtesy of Gazaleh. Gazaleh, who grew up between the Bay Area and near Detroit, said he believes the same person has been targeting his murals for years, and that he recognizes the person’s handwriting.
