re: #319 SanFranciscoZionist

That sounds ominous.

LOL, no, not ominous. I just don’t want to encourage conversation with some people.

That Banky link was posted, so I went to go look at at. I was thinking, “Oh, look how pretty they made the wall. Maybe that makes people feel a little better.” Then I got to the last slide, and the caption says:

Unwelcome intervention
Banksy also records on his website how an old Palestinian man said his painting made the wall look beautiful. Banksy thanked him, only to be told: ‘We don’t want it to be beautiful, we hate this wall. Go home.’

It was just a bit of a wake-up call for me. A reminder that we don’t necessarily get it…how things work there, how people feel, how our good intentions might not be wanted or appreciated. I was a little taken aback.

That is all. ;)
