Palestinian... or Israeli?


The Israeli girl is Hadas Maor. The Palestinian boy is Adam Shurati.

"[David] Ben-Gurion was right when he said 'The Palestinians are not our cousins, they're our brothers.'"

The photos of the two children are part of a project entitled "Enemies," by Swiss artist Olivier Suter; the project focuses on the absurd ways people identify "the other." He has previously done this with Flemish and French speakers in Belgium, and plans to undertake one in Rwanda and the Congo.
