Beware of the magic powers of football. And of course, of the magic powers of commercial advertising. Even the wall to the prison Palestine looks like fun, and reality is only slightly distorted. The art of omission work perfectly here. The soldiers play within the up to 60 m wide exclusion zone within this 'fence'. A ridge in this part of the prison wall disguises the concrete wall towards Israel, it blends nicely in the background. The horrendous dimensions of this crime against humanity remain hidden- hey, look, just a tiny obstacle between football friends.
