Gallery: The T-shirts of Jerusalem

You’d expect politics to be a fragile matter in Jerusalem, something you leave to seminars in controlled environments or to the confines of sheesha dens / wine bars, depending on your persuasion.

It’s a city where Muslims built a temple on the Jews’ holiest site, and where the latter must assent to a wall at its base. It’s the contested capital of two nations. It’s the capital of world history, really, contested by Eurasian powers for millenia.

Jerusalem is a crazy place. But really, with all that madness, what can you do but laugh at it all? That’s what local T-shirt designers do.
