Bethlehem - A manger scene juxtaposed against concrete blocks seemingly pierced by a mortar shell: with Christmas looming, the latest Bethlehem offering by secretive artist Banksy appeared Saturday in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
"Love" and"peace" are respectively graffiti tagged in English and French on the artistic installation's concrete blocks, while three large wrapped presents are at the forefront of the scene. Salsaa calls the Israeli wall a"scar" that should induce"shame in anyone who supported" its construction. The manger scene and hotel -- an establishment opened two years ago -- are far from Banksy's only West Bank imprint.
Story continuesThey included a ladder on the wall, a little girl carried away by balloons and a window opening onto a peaceful mountain landscape.
