Banksy Gets Up in Bethlehem Again

Banksy bombs the security wall in Bethlehem with six new pieces. It coincides with the annual month-long Santa’s Ghetto exhibit. The exhibit will also feature works of James Cauty, Ron English, Swoon, Trash, Blu, and Sam 3 among others.

Banksy had previously got up on the security wall back in 2005 with nine pieces.

It is said that half the population in the area is unemployed primarily because tourism has suffered in the area.
