Just a short one hour walk to get pick up a couple things taking some photos along the way.
Graffiti in Portugal has a long rich history and was used as part of the resistance during the dictatorship (which celebrates 50 years of freedom this year).

Writing on walls was one way to get the word out and express yourself without getting caught with evidence.

Sionismo é colonialismo fascismo terrorismo, esta terra tem gente, for da Palestina já
=
Zionism is colonialism fascism terrorism, this land has people, out of Palestine already!
Not all are beautiful or artfully made but the sentiment is there
Já matou 14,532 crianças na Palestina desde Octubro 2023
=
There are now 14,532 children killed in Palestine since October 2023
How many Palestinians equal one Israeli?
Colonialism is Terrorism
Mortos = Dead, this appears to be an older stencil but I had not seen it yet
The black crossing out the words with the Celtic cross is done by Pro-Israeli/White Supremacists :(
Sé Humano Liberta a Palestina / acaba come a guerra
=
Be Human Free Palestine / end the war

The symbol on the face is the shield of Portugal and the number, 1143 is the date Portugal was born. This along with the cross denote the Portuguese white supremacists who have been active with graffiti (in this case defacing positive graffiti with their hateful messages) and with beating up migrants and even arson of a leftist/inclusive association.
And the watermelon which is how Palestinians covertly showed solidarity with their flag when Israel banned it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Palestine#Bans_in_Israel
It is banned again as of last year: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/09/israel-security-minister-bans-palestinian-flag-flying-in-public

Long live street art, Viva a resistência! = Vive la résistance! = Long Live the Resistance
Maybe the green can signify a better day tomorrow (St Patrick's Day -- The Irish stand with Palestine). Here's hoping the ceasefire happens and people can finally get fed

October 2024 is yet to be seen. I didn't know Imgur praises celtic crosses now.

You're right, it is my typo on the translation. One of a couple "typoes" I made in this post.
But I hope no one is praising the Pro-Israeli/White Supremacists who crossed out (in black) the Pro-Palestine messaging. I put in a clarification though so there is no confusion
