Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Deleted on Sept 8, 2017 0:54:44 GMT 1, So what do people think of the grappling hook meaning, explain to me please ... hope this makes it clear ... 'A grappling hook is a device with multiple hooks (known as claws or flukes), attached to a rope; it is thrown, dropped, sunk, projected, or fastened directly by hand to where at least one hook may catch and hold. Generally, grappling hooks are used to temporarily secure one end of a rope.' On a serious note and I am sure someone could explain this far far better than me is it not to do with the Israeli West Bank barrier between Israel and Palestine, the grappling hook represents getting over the obstacle and obviously Christ on the cross represents religion in the area as we all know it is one of the most religious places on the planet. The thing as a whole represents being able to overcome this...... Like I said someone will explain it better but in a nutshell I think that's about it

I'd look back at the original Walled Off thread, or search for Walled Off threads... there was lots of usefull info in the original one, plus I seem to remember someone starting their own with a massive amount of useful info after they visited. Shouldn't be too hard to search for.

A category 5 hurricane has been hitting the Palestinians every day for decades. In a few days these hurricanes will disappear then the clean up operation will begin, with billions of $$$ being provided in aide to rebuild, while at the same time, Palestinian homes are getting demolished, land being illegally built upon, yeah f**kthe Palestinians, needy fuckers!!!!
If it takes art to get people to get out there, then more power to those "people booking flights etc.."

In addition, after visiting Palestine and meeting the local folks, you'll be far less concerned about missing out on Banksy merchandise / tatt and missing out on the next big drop by Invader, Pejac or whomever.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by kel on Sept 8, 2017 9:23:02 GMT 1, On a serious note, I have a friend coincidently heading there tomorrow, does anybody have any advice with customs / getting there etc? Thanks. Depends what their Budget is. Passport/border control head far right to foreign passports and if your travelling on your own expect to be sent to the waiting area. The waiting area is a side room full of cameras while they check your passport again. I was lucky 15mins question purpose of travel. Answer Jerusalem holy sites and tourist stuff, then Tel Aviv beach, food and drink. No problems on my way. Now travel wise really does depend what they want to spend I got taxis and doesn't come cheap ยฃ80 from Airport to Jerusalem alone. Couldn't be bothered with all the jumping on the bus wanted to maximise the time I had. In Jerusalem there is plenty of Palestinian taxi drivers who will drop you at the hotel on the longest route but seemingly quickest at the boarder. As for leaving the hotel they can arrange a car to the Airport for $120 One important thing of note don't just turn up at Tel Aviv Airport as you would do in this country. It has 3 different security checks and can take up to 1.30 hours just to get through them. Give yourself enough time.

The hook and the print are official Banksy works and will be issued with a COA. Nothing is sold out yet. The hooks are limited to the number ordered and the the prints will have "from an un-numbered series" on the COA. This could very well be your last chance to ever get a Banksy print so book your flights and hotel ASAP as there's no knowing when they will stop selling them. Good luck everyone!

I'm here right now.
The hooks are sold out completely.
The prints are not even here yet. apparently they are stuck in customs as they were shipped out from the uk.
The only thing for sale is postcards.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by Wearology on Sept 8, 2017 9:45:55 GMT 1, There is no merchandise at the store available for sale - I have a friend at the shop right now and there is only t-shrts and postcards available for sale. Please be very careful if you are actually booking flights or planning on going there for anything but a nights stay at the hotel. This is not a joke like Banksy is having with us - this is fact. If merchandise does become available - I will update this post but as of 5 AM in the US there is only postcards, a mug and apparel available.
