New Banksy Street Art In Palestine Reminds World That The Holidays Aren’t Happy For Everyone
English street artist Banksy is still active in the Palestinian Territories, and his latest politically-charged artwork to appear in the region has a unique holiday flair.
Long famed for the minimal, yet powerful murals he’s painted along the barrier separating Israel from the Palestinian-administered West Bank, the elusive graffiti extraordinaire has just revealed a new project in Bethlehem, a significant place in the context of Christmas, entitled The Alternativity. The first half of it, installed near the Milk Grotto Church, examines the meaning of ‘peace’ in the modern world. The second displays two angels attempting to pry their way through the ‘great wall.’
Just earlier this year, Banksy made a bold move in the same town by opening The Walled Off Hotel, an exposition/hostel hybrid designed to stand against the segregation between Israelis and Palestinians.
Scroll down to see what Banksy has been up to recently, and let us know what you think about his ‘season’s greetings.’

Anarkzie, I don't see why anyone would downvote your comment, of course unless there is some Zionist here...

Delusional! Palestinian children throwing stones and Israeli puppets shooting them. You wouldn’t need to teach hate. That would entice anyone to hate Israel. The most evil people in the world.

With everything! Israel own the news. The most evil race on the planet.

Here's a video of Arabs telling us how nice is living in Isreal: https://www.facebook.com/HalleluHeb/videos/1979617622309172/
Just one problem with this post... Palestine does not exist.. maybe they mean Gaza? or Israel ? =) They delude themselves thinking if they keep calling it Palestine it will come true.
Palestine always existed. Israel didn’t until 1948. Is this some sort of ironic delusional comment? It will always be Palestine and it will be taught to my children that Israel stole that land and caused major holocausts stealing it.
