Art prankster sprays Israeli wall

[newyorican]

Secretive "guerrilla" artist Banksy has decorated Israel's controversial West Bank barrier with satirical images of life on the other side.

The nine paintings were created on the Palestinian side of the barrier.

One depicts a hole in the wall with an idyllic beach, while another shows a mountain landscape on the other side.

Banksy, who hails from the UK city of Bristol, never allows himself to be photographed and created the images last week.

Banksy is well known for his art stunts around the world
He condemned the wall but described it as "the ultimate activity holiday destination for graffiti writers".

Mods: I know about the prohibition on pictures. Looking for an exception here for entertainment purposes.
