"Walls are hot right now,but I was into them long before Trump made it cool"! - Banksy.

Bravo Banksy,he has put the money he has made to a good cause - creating and gifting a Hotel - furnished with many of his thought provoking works of Art - right by the massive wall built by the Israeli state,in order to further subjugate the Palestinian peoples.

I hope the 'Walled-off Hotel' is a great success,and acts as a 'Springboard'to the local community,to create business and tourism in Bethlehem,to attract people from around the World.

Just give it a crap review on 'TripAdvisor'.
Mainly for the crap view.

[anneasquith]

Surely gromit that would be a positive review ?

[Mamyalynne]

Well you wouldn't go to somewhere called 'Walled off' expecting a sea view would you.

[Gromit]

I was expecting the 'Hanging Gardens of Babylon' but on inspecting a map, it us thousands of miles off.
My mistake, but also Banksys fault for locating his hotel under the Israeli occupation, rather than somewhere nice.

[Tabula-rasa]

...er,I don't think you get it gromit!

[vetuste_ennemi]

Is tabula rasa the title of your autobiography?

[vetuste_ennemi]

.. if so it gives too much away.

[Tabula-rasa]

Que?

[Gromit]

// ...er,I don't think you get it gromit! //

Er, yes I do.
Not sure you do though. errrr. //

[Tabula-rasa]

I,for one,am convinced that Banksy's motives are honourable.He has,after all,been visiting and supporting the cause of Palestinian communities for 10 years!

[Samjenko]

Mmmm.

[Tabula-rasa]

Do I detect some cynicism in your reply,Samjenko?

The 'Walled-off Hotel'has created income and full-time work for 45 Palestinians and their dependants.
Banksy has many fans around the World,and those fans will hopefully regard a trip to Bethlehem as a 'must see'.
He was able to refurbish and furnish the Hotel in relative secrecy,suggesting that he had the support of local people.
