The Other Side Of The Wall

The other side of the wall the eighth song from assemblage 23 s new album bruise.

The other side of the wall. Other side of the wall lyrics. Munther isaac s deeply moving the other side of the wall tells his story as a christian growing up in the palestinian town of bethlehem over decades of violence war and occupation. Isaac laments the injustices suffered by the palestinian people but holds out hope for a just peace and ways to befriend and love his jewish and muslim neighbors. The reading of isaac s palestinian narrative in no way negates jewish ties to the land but rather tells an often unheard side of the story.

Isaac s experiences of dehumanization and wrestling with god s purpose for the palestinian people is one with which christians around the world must contend. For those burned by the sun the silent voiceless ones those stolen golden years of wonder filled with fear say it now say it how all around of how love.
