If I must die,  you must live  to tell my story  to sell my things  to buy a piece of cloth  and some strings,  (make it white with a long tail)  so that a child, somewhere in Gaza  while looking heaven in the eye  awaiting his dad who left in a blaze —  and bade no one farewell  not even to his flesh  not even to himself —  sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above  and thinks for a moment an angel is there  bringing back love  If I must die  let it bring hope let it be a tale Alareer's poem was also used on Free Derry Corner; see If I Must Die. This entry presents images of the ten murals to which the red ribbon was added. For images from the launch, see Looking Heaven In The Eye.

In some places it takes the form of multiple fences, in others, of a concrete wall reaching to a height of 30 feet/9 metres. (Here is WP's map of the wall in the vicinity of Bethlehem and Jerusalem, also showing the Israeli settlements in this part of the West Bank). In this mural, a Palestinian stands on top of the wall and looks towards (Christian) Church Of The Holy Sepulchre and the (Islamic) Dome Of The Rock in old Jerusalem and imagines themselves a phoenix, a symbol representing rebirth and persistence, well known from (Irish) republican muraling (Peter Moloney Collection | Extramural collection). The mural is on the International Wall, west Belfast, part of the Painting For Palestine project (Fb). The original artist is unknown. The West Bank barrier is locally known as the "separation" or "apartheid" wall. For west Belfast's own euphemistically-called "peace" wall, see State Art Vs Graffiti On The West Belfast "Peace" Line. The image above was taken on February 25th. Other "in-progress" images are as dated below.
