Three artists from art collective Creative Debuts have defended a mural it painted on a house in Ilford, England, paying tribute to Palestinian journalists amid calls for its removal from UK Lawyers for Israel.

Alia Shaikh, who owns and lives in the house, said she personally commissioned the piece because she otherwise “felt powerless” about the ongoing atrocities. She said "They’re heroes. Without them, we’d have no idea what’s happening.”

Photo of a street scene, focus is on the end of a series of houses that has a large, windowless wall. Painted on it is a photorealistic mural depicting four people, in outdoor/army gear. Two of them have "PRESS" written on their clothing. They're standing in front of a wall of rubble, above them is written "Heroes of Palestine" and the artist collective name "Creative Debuts".

I'd be very interested in feedback in this description (is it too long/detailed, missing something?).

Fantastic! Bloody lawyers can naff off. They should be disbarred and publicly shamed.
