Queer eye for the straight army.
A new army base going up in the northern part of the West Bank will be Israel's most colorful, painted in a dazzling array of pink, brown, purple, light blue and orange, an army weekly reported.
The current edition of "Bamahane," a publication for soldiers, carries a small picture of the Jalameh base, going up near the Palestinian town of Jenin. It shows the stark structure of two-story cement blocks joined at right angles painted in eye-popping shades of orange and pink.
"I'm sick of seeing the ugly and depressing colors of military buildings - always beige and gray," the officer behind the artsy project, Capt. Itsik Koren, told the weekly. "I decided to do something different here."
~It's soooo sheek, I mean oh.. my.. god, just look at way it offsets the barbed wire.
