Banksy in Bethlehem

Banksy - Girl Patting Down Captured Soldier (2007)This news is much more interesting than the result of that tired old has-been the Turner Prize. UK artist Banksy has returned to Bethlehem for a Christmas exhibition which opens on Monday, and his graffiti is popping up all over the place. Here's a mural of a girl patting down a captured soldier. There's also a dove of peace wearing a bullet-proof jacket (my idea of the perfect Christmas card), a rat holding a catapult and a baby in a crib with its chest crushed by a rock (his spokeswoman denies it represents Jesus, but who else?).
