    Banksy‘s spokeswoman Jo Brooks said that while Banksy was creating the piece, “The Israeli security forces did shoot in the air threateningly and there were quite a few guns pointed at him.” However, Banksy questioned, “How illegal is it to vandalize a wall if the wall itself has been deemed unlawful by the International Court of Justice?”

    isn’t banksy supposed to be unknown?

      Banksy wore a mask during his west bank work. He’s had that publicist/PR person for a long time and she clearly knows who he is. There’s talk the british government might press charges this time so logistically they’d need to know who he is, though idk if the bbc etc. reporting this speculation know one way or the other.

        i bet that they won’t bother to minimize public awareness and w the knowledge that banksy’s patrons are aligned w the judge in this piece of work, so they’ll keep the secret too.

        maybe; like the wall; banksy will state the obvious again in another 20 years.
