What if Christmas lasted all year long?
A “Gaza-made zebra”, (a donkey painted with stripes), stands in a cage at the “Happy Land Zoo” just outside Gaza City on October 3, 2009. Faced with an Israeli blockade, the Palestinian zookeepers were unable to bring in real zebras. Their solution was to paint a couple of donkeys at the zoo, which have become symbols of life under the Israeli blockade, a local attraction and a bit of a joke.
