The Peace Kids

The Peace Kids is a pair of murals painted in 2014 by the Israeli street artist Jonathan Kis-Lev, one on Frenkel Street in Tel Aviv and a companion mural painted together with the Palestinian artist Moodi Abdallah in Bethlehem. Each mural measures about seven by three meters and shows Srulik, the cartoon figure long used as a national symbol of Israel, and Handala, the refugee-child figure used as a national symbol of Palestine, walking together in an embrace with their backs to the viewer. Kis-Lev conceived the two murals as a single work carried out in two cities, intending each city's painting to bring the same message of reconciliation to its own audience. The work has been described as an expression of hoped-for peace and brotherhood between Israelis and Palestinians.
