IMO banksy is usually pretty lame, but I like the relevance here. Would’ve been nice to show what the protestor was protesting tho… Like, is it one of the hundreds of protestors for Gaza that were arrested? Or is it some reform party goon protesting immigration? Given the timing and Banksy’s history (they did a mural on the apartheid wall 20 years ago), it’s clearly a reference to the Gaza protestors. But subtext is for cowards

they don’t want to upset thier clientele of balenciaga, hermes, armani, etc. buyers while dog whistling to the rest of us.
If Banksy was for real, that painting would’ve blown up instead of partially shredding
it would’ve been braver if he just wrote “Support Palestine Action -Bankƨy” instead of any satirically juxtaposed stencil art.
