Banksy recalls his conversation with a Palestinian man, who congratulated the artist on his good work. But when Banksy thanked him for his kind words, the man said that nothing is more unwanted than the Wall, and by beautifying it Banksy was doing more disservice to the liberation struggle than his intentions and political inclinations would allow him to! Hence, he would rather that the Wall was left bare and emptied of all the radical art that has turned the monument of oppression into an ironical blackboard of revolution mantras.
