In another caption, he says: “Gaza is often describes as ‘the world’s largest open air prison’ because no-one is allowed to enter or leave. But that seems a bit unfair to prisons – they don’t have their electricity and drinking water cut off randomly almost every day.”
His final image of a huge white cat appears to be a statement about the rest of the world’s indifference to the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Banksy's stencil of a giant cat appears among rubble in Gaza Under the photograph of the large mural, Banksy wrote on his website: “A local man came up and said ‘Please – what does this mean?’ I explained I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website – but on the internet people only look at pictures of kittens.”
The anonymous street artist also posted a video about Gaza on his website, entitled “Make this year the year YOU discover a new destination.”
The spoof video sells Gaza as a desirable tourist destination to viewers with strap lines such as “the locals like it so much they never leave”, which Banksy then counters with comments such as “(because they’re not allowed to)”.
The two minute video also shows a local man’s reaction to Banksy’s big white cat graffiti.
