I love this.  It is a very powerful animation about The Gaza Strip and how the people are trapped by Israel on all sides.  The amazing thing about animation is that it can explain complex issues easily.

Interestingly, the animator is an Israeli Jew!  He is part of an organisation that supports the Palestinians and he has his own website if you want to take a peek at his work

A retired farmer has spent more than 30 years building an enormous scale model of Herod’s temple with his own hands.  Quite extraordinary!

I wish I could do something like that!
