A new artwork dubbed "Scar of Bethlehem" by the artist Banksy is displayed in The Walled Off Hotel, in the West Bank city of Bethlehem, Sunday, Dec. 22, 2019.
The artwork, named “Scar of Bethlehem,” depicts the birth of Jesus under Israel’s West Bank separation barrier with a bullet hole shaped like a star. The piece is displayed at the “Walled Off Hotel,” a Palestinian guesthouse in Bethlehem that was designed by Banksy and is filled with his artwork.“We see there is a scar,” he said. “A hole on the wall marks the wall and the life in Bethlehem.”
“Banksy is trying to remind the world that people of Bethlehem, where Christmas was started, are not celebrating Christmas like the rest of the world,” he said. Rafael Edelmuller, a 37-year-old tourist from London, said he was looking forward to seeing the art after seeing most of Banksy’s work in Amsterdam and London.

Junk
Dumbf**k.
So it’s just a hate thing all around
Hahahaha!! Wow, what a completely original way to rebel. Really shaking things up with the over 75 years old demo.
It's brilliant.
Except the idiot doesn't realize that Jews are currently banned from Bethlehem and have been since the PA took control. If Jesus were in Bethlehem, his family would be running to Israel so he wouldn't be lynched on the street for being a Jew, while police handed out candy.
Does it symbolize where Palestinians would have shot at Jesus?
Wow. Much art. Many meaning.
Now THIS is ART. Not some duct tape banana on a wall, that the rich flaunts to the faces of the poor & those who work (them basically stating 'I'll pay $160K for a banana than on healthcare for my workers'). THIS piece has meaning...
Reality charged.
YAWN
👏🏼
Mary and Joseph were Jewish though 💀

25 years ago, no walls and a global community/system was deemed to be ALT LEFT and a horrible idea. It’s no longer ALT LEFT, but still a shit idea.
Spot on; like all good art, it is controversial and true
BarstoolBigCat PFTCommenter banksy at it again
Brilliant.
Judea and Samaria
I like Banksy, and there is a bit of accuracy here regarding the confirmation and crucifixion of Christ's, as neither Romans, Jews or even(later) Muslims accepted Christ as the Son of God. Peace c):~)
Banksy is an anti-Semite vandal.
Thank You Banksy 💔👌🏼
I really don’t care what Banksie does
Not mine, but appropriate
Love that guy & his ideas. I don't love the scum that steal his work for profit. And don't give me that shit that the money via the gallery is being used for good. Gfy.
If this were on the other side it would be hate speech.
This is the AMERICAN version of the nativity.
