 The non-commercial aspect of this musical project is a fundamental dimension of the band's work since it allows for creative freedom and the liberty to express activist opinions.Checkpoint 303's compositions are inspired by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the suffering it causes to the civilian populations throughout the region.The name Checkpoint 303 was inspired by the Bethlehem "Checkpoint 300" (one of numerous Israeli checkpoints restricting and controlling passage between the Palestinian self-controlled areas and Israel).
