Palestinian graffiti became popular with the outbreak of the first Intifada in 1987, when it served mainly as a means for updating information about demonstrations and strikes. Graffiti artists were perceived as heroes persecuted by the Occupation forces. Since then artists have been using graffiti in order to praise or mock political and military figures, Israelis and Palestinians alike, and in order to depict political struggles. Graffiti is also used to congratulate couples upon their marriage and pilgrims upon their return home.
