I thought some forum members might be interested to see this.
[Note: Not my Crucifix Grappling Hook, not my photograph, not on the reservation list)

Yeah, I did wonder about the scale of the rope! They're big!!
I wonder who managed to get one? Mostly staff or lucky guests/visitors who were there that day!!

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Happy Shopper on Sept 21, 2017 9:59:29 GMT 1, This question has probably already been answered, and I understand that this poster is only available in person, but why are people paying thousands of dollars for an open edition print that wont even be eligible for a COA? Its unlimited right? I imagine they only made a certain amount because of the framing and wall inside of it, but its still not a set edition. Quite like the image myself, and hoping for a post-release price dip! Kaws's open editions sold for a lot of money at first. Now you can barely get cost price for them. If POW suddenly make these available for online order they'll be worthless over night... although creating thousands may be tricky!

What is your theory of the concept or idea behind it. I saw comments on his insta and it seems as though the consensus is that 'Jesus saves', or provides you with the ability to overcome obstacles. Is the meaning really meant to be as literal is this, and would that not demonstrate a non-typical religious bias by the artist in such a volatile area of the world.

I'd assume Banksy is more jokey than that... almost taking the piss out of that religious idea. Creating a literal "religious" item that can "get you over that wall". Also it's like a visual metaphor for the region: It's religion mixed with conflict and the issue of the wall. Maybe that's all the concept that's needed.

Quite like the image myself, and hoping for a post-release price dip! It’s not a poster and the Image is better than most, 3D effect of rock unique in Banksy prints , supply and demand, no coa.but you have to have a receipt of purchase from the walled off hotel possibly backed up with confirmation of stay at hotel. Supply controlled by Banksy, quality control controlled by Banksy. Rumours about that this may be more limited than unlimited.
Hype hype hype hype hype!

You really are a hype man.
This also seems to imply he made the wall pieces and even the t shirts and mugs! We all know that isn't true.

Maybe if Jesus would be born today, the wall would prevent him from doing his stuff. He'd need a hook to get out to make his way?

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by eschiff on Sept 21, 2017 13:01:10 GMT 1, Really sorry to hear that - that sounds terrible.
I can't say it wasn't because of racism and prejudice but for what it's worth, I'm a white guy and 10 years ago when I went to Israel I was strip-searched twice. And this was for internal flights (tel aviv to eilat). My experience wasn't quite as bad as yours but it is horrifying when you're in those little rooms with no information. I'd hope you would get an apology but unfortunately guessing it won't happen.

I would have gone with a skull cap, big Star of David on my necklace long over coat and that hat thing they wear, holding a minora saying shalom to anyone that I walked past !! It's the only way if your the wrong complexion or religion, Name on the passport is a bit of a give away.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Carl Cashman on Sept 21, 2017 15:25:52 GMT 1, Very sorry to hear your story. Puts me off going to Israel - which is sad really. I understand the reasons for tight security in Israel. But with modern technology there is no reason to strip search an individual who has just got off an international flight and is still within the airport border controls - it is done to intimidate and humiliate individuals - these tactics should have been left in the last millennium. Write to your local MP to raise awareness of the treatment of non-white British citizens going to Israel. We often take for granted our freedoms in the UK. On a side note, my understanding is that everyone who has gone to the WoH has not mentioned going to Palestine to the Banksy hotel when questioned... You say you are visiting local sites and give the address of a hotel in Israel where you stay overnight and then get a taxi to take you across the wall? Just say bethlehem... which the hotel still technically is. Palestine or west bank just makes them think the visit is politically motivated.

I have it in my hand (Didn't buy ebay tho! haha it was gifted from a friend who stayed there 3 nights). it's absolutely Not a poster. I don't own any Banksy print so it's hard to tell but seems like a screen print. the paper quality is exactly same as two of my Invader prints that i only own from POW.
No wonder why The hotel doesn't want to ship it. the small concrete piece doesn't sit tight. It may move and scratch all over the print while its shipping.

amahmood : What a horrible story. What a shame you had to go through that - AND been send home for no reason. To be honest I do not feel so confident any more to go there, spending a lot of money with the risk of being treated like this and refused. Did your friend tell them he wants to go to the Walled Off Hotel as well?

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Wearology on Sept 22, 2017 6:08:44 GMT 1, If you are shipping the print from Israel to another country you need to do the following because every part of the box set will be open by customs either in Israel or the country you are sending it to. The stone is glued to the bottom of the frame using clear hobby glue - not permanent all surface glue - and it will not stay glued during the shipping process. You should cut approximately 10 - 20 (9 3/4 inch X 10 inch) squares of bubble wrap and place them inside the frame so the stone is secure to the frame and the print - which is not poster paper is protected. The stone inside the frame is the weight of Pummus Stone and has the texture of chalk. No matter how you pack the parcel and label it - it will be opened & inspected. You should tape a piece of 10 inch X 10 inch cardboard with painters tape on both sides of the frame - so when customs opens the parcel they can put it back the way they found it. If you use bubble wrap on the outside than customs will have to open it using a knife or scissor and the repacking process will be messy. Hopefully that helps.
