Banksy's Bethlehem mural erased by residents, by dime683 on Dec 20, 2007 21:30:33 GMT 1, "For allowing Santa's Ghetto to happen"!! whatever that means. Some people took the images the wrong way, maybe that was bound to happen. Maybe it wasn't explained to the locals that it was in fact supporting them. But let's face it you can't please all of the people all of the time. At least they didn't want to execute him like the teacher with the teddy.
all i ment by that, is it takes more then banksy pow and laz to set something like this up. meaning that im sure someone in the community has helped with the planning and execution of santas gheto. not looking for another argument. we have had enough of those the few days.

Dmand, if that was aimed at me, I understand, but that second part "at least they didn't want to execute him" was really not necessary - however many times I reread it! simple as that.
anyway NO MORE ARGUMENTS I've had enough!

Banksy's Bethlehem mural erased by residents, by dmandpenfold on Dec 20, 2007 23:12:34 GMT 1, valeha, nothing was aimed at you or anyone in particular, i was making a general comment on people reacting before thinking both on this thread and many others.
No argument or offence meant, it was my way of trying to get people to appreciate that things aren't read as they imagine are written
P's

Banksy's Bethlehem mural erased by residents, by BK83 on Dec 20, 2007 23:20:39 GMT 1, Interesting that this image has been completely misconstrued by the locals. I mean, it is afterall a picture the most universal of languages!! There is no text accompanyment so nothing to make it any more confusing and yet the whole message has been lost in translation. I find it even more odd considering the context of the environment -- it just amkes perfect sense ... or does it? I thought pictures could transcend the language barrier....
Anyone else interested in philanthropy....

Banksy's Bethlehem mural erased by residents, by dmandpenfold on Dec 20, 2007 23:54:16 GMT 1, quite right jaypaav, i am quite astounded that anyone could interpret this as a comment on Palestinians being donkeys, the message i thought was very clear and put so well without the need for further explanation...a picture being worth a thousand words, we have many more discussing the work than that..
the view you take on something is clearly directly related to your state of mind, maybe it's paranoia, maybe it's cultural too. Either way i am amazed by the loss of meaning, this image surely needs no explaining to anyone
