Do you think that its really Banksy doing that stencil?

I'm not sure it would be worth the risk of being filmed, with it being in such a busy location.

What do you think?

[LoveRat]

I would have been more concerned with the risk of being shot by
a guard, than on film ;D

[samsky]

It was him and the vid was given to channel 4 by the man himself

[thekevster]

Pretty cool to actually see him stencilling on that vid, it jus shows you that the act of doing the job is pretty simple (although i have never tried it myself) but the thought that goes into the images he stencils is where the work is..

Graeme I am sending a package out today to Bethlehem to a friend who works in a volunteer camp there. I will find out who to go through if you wish to pursue this

[graeme501]

yeah man sounds good

[lover]

give it to a charity with a western philosophy that preaches peace rather than terror, possibly rather hard to find

[graeme501]

So that old chestnut of the 'West is Best' rings true for you then?
Peace rather than terror - of course; but to imply that peace relates to Western philosophy and by default that terror relates to Eastern philosophy is a mile off the mark. Could you clarify what you mean?

[aladdinsane]

If someone could recommend a reputable American charity that does the same sponsorship of children in Gaza I would appreicate it. I was emailing back and forth with Interpal in the UK and they were trying to find someone for me but seemed to have come up empty. Graeme try Interpal.org they were very helpful with giving me information if I wanted to work with them and a few others on the boards have recommended them in the past I think. Cheers mate.

[danvnuk]

S"ponce"ring a Child in Gaza....or even worse S"Ponce-Ring"

Is this the most unfortunate spelling mistake possible or what?

Sponsoring dude Sponsoring

what a load of ethnocentric, orientalist crap!

(sorry if you read this BONGO - what with your spread some love idea - but this just peeved me off!)

us = good
them = bad

...afraid it isn't as simple as that!

I mean it's not like you were talking about a charity in particular - it was a generalised statement inciting that all non western charities in the region sponsor terrorism! what an absolute James Blunt you are (rhyming slang for...)

sorry scavos getting to deep for me. Interpret my post as you like. Bring on the negs

Weren't these painted on the wall?

[insite]

It is the wall "for sale"

I think the clue is in the line "Buyer must collect in person and will receive lots of help with this from the local population. " To me this makes it sound like a false auction using ebay to highlight the political situation and a medical charity. I doubt very much this is a genuine sale.

[faroutman]

Really.

A Classic!

[ejvaze]

Actually I like this the seller is having a go at all the Walls being sold off here in the UK and at the
same time drawing your attention to the plight of the locals.

I see he has 3 other sales all the same. ;D

I think you could call this Gorilla Advertising

Cleaver very cleaver ;D

WTF is that supposed to mean.

[flypitcher]

Okay I slag him for siding with Korrupt Ken but well done for putting in £2million of his OWN money to help his Palestine Charity.

[walters]

[G-Man]

Amazing, good man (although it doesn't surprise me from what I know about him). Where did you find this out?

[becksaboo]

just goes to show his heart is in the right place. not man people would do that nowadays- makes the greed surrounding his work more unbelievable

I disagree, I think it makes the greed surrounding his work all the more palatable.

as in i think the people who flip the prints (secondary market) etc should give some of it away. if people are buying from source then the more they spend the better.
