prankster sprays Israeli wall
BBC, 8/5/2005
Secretive "guerrilla" artist Banksy has
decorated Israel's controversial West Bank barrier with satirical images
of life on the other side. The nine paintings were created on the Palestinian
side of the barrier. One depicts a hole in the wall with an idyllic beach,
while another shows a mountain landscape on the other side. Banksy's spokeswoman
Jo Brooks said: "The Israeli security forces did shoot in the air
threateningly and there were quite a few guns pointed at him." Another
picture shows the head of a white horse appearing to poke through, while
he has also painted a ladder going over the wall. The 425-mile (680-kilometre)
long barrier, made of concrete walls and razor-wire fences, is still being
erected by Israeli authorities. more...
