British guerrilla graffiti artist Banksy, whose fake “cave painting” depicting a stick man pushing a grocery cart went unnoticed by British Museum authorities for three days last year, has brought his vandalistic high art to Israel:

He managed to throw up nine paintings on the Palestinian side of the West Bank wall to protest the 425 mile razor-topped barrier that the Israeli government has deemed necessary to keep citizens safe from suicide bombers.
Banksy withstood threats from Israeli soldiers and guns in his face to finish his “windows” to the world, and in spite of all the inflammatory political consequences, we think they’re pretty clever. (Check out the gallery here.)
Even more darkly entertaining is the reaction from an old Palestinian man who told Banksy his painting made the wall look beautiful. Banksy thanked him, only to be told: ‘We don’t want it to be beautiful, we hate this wall. Go home.’
