The “Disappearing Palestine” wall mural at the Vancouver City Centre
skytrain station was stolen by vandals over the weekend. The mural was
recently extended for a second month thanks to a special donation to the
Palestine Awareness Coalition by Vancouver lawyer, activist and former city
councillor Tim Louis. The mural will be replaced shortly.

"This disruption will not silence our ad campaign. It is striking that our
campaign was chosen in an attempt to silence the simple truth," said Marty
Roth of the Palestine Awareness Coalition.

The “Disappearing Palestine” advertisement campaign was launched on
Vancouver public transit on August 27, 2013 by the Palestine Awareness
Coalition, formed by seven Vancouver-area peace and justice groups. It
depicts the shrinking land of Palestine and Israeli expansionism over the
past 65 years. For more information, please visit
