Check out this video of Banksy, the British self-dubbed "art terrorist" who is famous for his oft-political graffiti. The artist decided to take his art to the West Bank where he painted 9 works on the security wall that divides Jerusalem from the Palestinian territories. Israelis argue the wall protects Jerusalem, Palestinians, as well as Banksy, argue that it imprisons the Palestinian territory. Whether or not you agree with the controversial artist, the fact that he is expressing himself and practicing free speech on a structure whose purpose is to divide ethnic groups is very cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXSg8BApBwA
