Gee Vaucher stopped by the office to finish a piece of billboard art she’s doing for a Lodon-based Palestinian group called Nakba60 (cataclysm). They’re putting up billboards all over London by other artists like Blu and Ron English, protesting the Israeli occupation which this year marks 60 years.
Gee had recently returned from Palestine where Banksy and a bunch of other street artists raised a few million dollars via an art auction for Palestinian children. We tried to get her to joke about it but she was not into making light of the carnage.
Gee’s billboard up in London.
Part 2 of the interview is about her art and it airs next week.
This lady has no idea what she is talking about. Does she think if they went back to the 67 borders all of a sudden all the Muslims would be like “oh ok now we’re cool, Israel you can exist now and we won’t try to wipe you off the face of the earth”. What a tard.
agreed. she has little knowledge of Israeli politics and zionism in general.
“fortune cookie based little metaphors” i’ll hav to try and remember that one next time ’round i’m sitting at the pub talking out my asshole! thanks gavin! glean a morsel is another, haha!
It doesn’t matter what got us here. The point is the Palestinians are fucked and nobody is helping them. The arab world likes to see them suffer because they need another martyr so, even though they have some of the richest people in the world, Dubai isn’t giving Palestine a diime. I think it’s pretty amazing one of their biggest benefactors is fucking Banksy.
1- Israelis paid for today’s borders in blood and there’s no way they are going to go back even one inch. Would you if your brother died making that border today? Really, you would? Well why don’t you give the Indians New York back?
2- How dare Britain bitch about this situation. Aren’t they the ones who made Israel in the first place? It was their shitty mismanagement at the beginning that got both sides in the mess they’re in today.
3- Loomis, the reason the arab world doesn’t help Palestine is Palestinians are too secular for more Arab tastes. They let women drive and go to school and they only sort of cover their hair.
The only solution to Israel is to cut American funding down and to stop the settlements. Otherwise, just keep fighting.
From the start you can tell this is a product of idiocy. The occupation has been going on for 41 years. Israel has existed for 60. What are they advocating, for Israel to just up and up say, “You guys are right, we’ll just cease to exist and hope everything is cool.” This is the same shit as vice. Stick to the facts, spare us your retarded political opinions that have been gathered from occasionally reading the headlines and late nights of discussion with art students wearing keffiyehs and che guevara t-shirts.
AHHAHAh Gavin: “Go back to the borders of ’65.” Retard.
This woman is a retard, as well. “They’re not Zionists.” No, they’re Zionists, they just want to give back the territories. Saying that they’re not Zionists implies that they don’t believe Israel should be a country. Also, there’s one sect of crazy Hasids (not Hasidics) that don’t believe in Israel, that’s not the case for the majority of people.
Also, lastly, the most telling part of all: “I don’t really know the fine details, I know much more than I did 3 months ago.”
Please leave this stuff to academics and people who have visited and done research.
I can’t believe they got away with those billboards. If this was in New York there would be riots and people would be in jail for “hate speech.”
FREE PALESTINE!
I would donate to their cause if they had the balls to put their work up in nyc.
60years huh. Guess United Nations charters don’t mean shit to boring, overrated, ignorant anarchists
the UN Security Council is comprised of the world’s biggest arms producers: China, France, Russian Federation, the united Kingdom and the United States. And yes, united nations charters don’t mean squat. The US provides armaments and nukes free of charge to israel. further, Israel is the demarcation zone for all points in the middle east as well as africa and the mediteranean. the relationship that exist between israel and the US is mutually beneficial but more for the US. the palestinians don’t figure within the broader world context when US interests are at the fore. it’s not that the state of israel has a right to exist as it is more the right of the US to lord its ways to existence over everyone else. true enough, the brits controlled palestine long before the two world wars but as a compromise for the US involvement in the second world war the british empire gave up all the prime oil producing countries up to the US as well as palestine. no matter what anyone says, the US has ALWAYS controlled what happens in the world. my view. i’m talking out of my asshole again. okay i’ll shut up now.
Look, whether you are pro or anti Israel, this project was to benefit Palestinians, a group that everyone agrees needs help. Pure and simple. End of story.
Agreed, Palestinians need help, and I support moving back to the pre-67 borders (excepting east Jerusalem). The point is that you have uninformed people making stupid statements (“the borders of ,65″ “60 years of occupation) with which further uninformed, dumb people take for fact. This bothers me.
I’m going to accuse Crass of anti-Semitism merely because it’s easy and fun to do so.
Funny thing about the British. Whenever I watch BBC News they have a much more slanted anti-Israel bias when it comes to their reporting more than the war in Iraq… It’s quite the opposite with the US amongst its news reporting. Has anyone else noticed this?

gee, look at all the hebes come out for this one…
And so, the Zionists’ pawns dance around, screaming about their claims to their borders and “their” land.
Bah! A boot to every Kikes’ hook-nosed faces. May our boots come crashing down, sending your ugly hooks into your heads!
But folks…don’t panic. I know many good Jews; they fit in my ashtray. Oh, did I mention that Jews make good lampshades and candles?
Easy and fun to accuse Crass (queer anarchist race traitors) of anti-Semitism, hmm? Well, then, the Kikes aren’t entitled to their so-called “suffering.” They emulate their so-called “oppressors” than transcend them, and Palestine couldn’t be a better example. May their rodent-like kind suffocate, and may the purging fires of war cleanse their kind.
Torch their Torahs, torch their Shitagogues, torch their children, burn their women’s faces.
ERASE JUDAISM!
Indo-Aryan Supremacy 1488, why don’t you f___k off, posing as a neo nazi — it’s clear you are a pro Israel trol, playing the stereotyped ‘anti Jew’ to justify yourselves.
Bullshit detector !
