Art for art’s sake attack

conversation between Banksy and an Israeli soldier while he was in the process of creating the series of nine pieces on the wall, in Bethlehem, Abu Dis, and Ramallah.
Soldier: What the fuck are you doing?
Me: You’ll have to wait till it’s finished
Soldier (to colleagues): Safety’s off

Conversation Banksy reported having with an old Palestinian man:
Old man: You paint the wall, you make it look beautiful.
Me: Thanks
Old man: We don’t want it to be beautiful, we hate this wall, go home.
