Original inspiration for Banksy Images, by loui on Aug 26, 2024 18:59:07 GMT 1, I interviewed a former reporter once who was in the area during the attacks on Sabra and Shatila. He is a Jew, it changed his perception on Israel 100 percent.Were you there, 1982? Nope! But I visited and took in the information helpfully provided in the museum at the WOH about this matter and, subsequently, acquired a very informative book about the conflict by Ian Black called 'Enemies and Neighbours', which is a very balanced view and thorough reflection of all that has been going on between all parties involved in this ongoing conflict since the creation of the State of Israel. Moreover, I listened to the talk last evening at the Massive Attack festival, which was also very much on point and up to date.
Dear Lord Rothschild, โฆand will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."โฆ Yours sincerely,

Original inspiration for Banksy Images, by PC Baby on Aug 26, 2024 22:52:15 GMT 1, ..how infinitely sad if the only choice left is to go on hunger strike until death.
Not even Banksy can win against Regimes like that, intent on crushing opposition and dissent!
Maybe there will be strength in numbers striving for a fairer world and world peace in today's youth - we can but hope!

Not even Banksy can win against Regimes like that, intent on crushing opposition and dissent! Maybe there will be strength in numbers striving for a fairer world and world peace in today's youth - we can but hope! Too easy. There is no hope if people are presented a false narrative and believe that it is the truth. Banksys 12 million followers on Instagram saw him painting 3 monkeys playing with red herrings, a rhino and a zoo. Well done Banksy ๐

Original inspiration for Banksy Images, by PC Baby on Aug 26, 2024 23:26:26 GMT 1, loui , please explain what you mean by "too easy" and also what the "false narrative" might be that you allude to. Obviously, he is not a diety, whom people follow blindly - rather he is able to cut through and point out what is right in front of peoples' noses already, so that even laymen like myself understand the message. Wherein lies his genius - coupled with a good dosage of unoffensive humour!

Wherein lies his genius - coupled with a good dosage of unoffensive humour! What I meant pcbaby is that Putin is presenting a false narrative to the Russian people. While Banksy, with his 12 million insta followers that no doubt include some Russians, could have shaken up that story a bit, the 3 monkeys seem distracted and aimed for a few red herrings, a rhino and the zoo. And before that a hoolahoop bicycle girl, aachooo, and some others that I cant recall at the moment. That's why I said: too easy. Maybe they need to let go and find some new inspiration.

Original inspiration for Banksy Images, by PC Baby on Aug 27, 2024 10:49:04 GMT 1, ..or some extra inspiration by way of a muse? No, seriously loui, I'm sure he has plenty of inspiration; just depends what he chooses to implement and when - or not, as the case may be. Maybe some other people could take over that mantle; why should it lie with Banksy (solely or otherwise)?

Maybe some other people could take over that mantle; why should it lie with Banksy (solely or otherwise)? This is true of course. They are not responsible at all to do anything at all. On the other hand, banksy has never refused to take ownership, but perhaps over time its purpose changed.

Original inspiration for Banksy Images, by PC Baby on Aug 27, 2024 13:26:51 GMT 1, There was always a purpose attached, be it in a playful way to make us smile or with a more serious message underlying it, to make us question something and perhaps broaden our minds - but always to give us his take in the process. Of course the purpose is ever changing with the times and circumstances we all find ourselves in - but then again, times have always been difficult and even hard for some; it's only through social media that the issues have moved more into the collective consciousness. But this is only how I see it. ;-))
If Banksy wasn't Banksy, what else would he rather be doing?
