The documentary 'Walled Off' takes its title from a hotel owned by Banksy in Bethlehem. Located a few steps from Israel's imposing separation barrier that runs through the occupied West Bank, it bills itself as the hotel with the 'worst view in the world.'
The documentary “Walled Off,” takes its title from a hotel owned by anonymous British street artist Banksy in the biblical city of Bethlehem. Located a few steps from Israel’s imposing separation barrier that runs through the occupied West Bank, it bills itself as the hotel with the “worst view in the world.” Inside, the walls are decorated with Banksy’s artwork depicting satirical views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Almost 5 million Palestinians live in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza, but millions more live in the diaspora, either as refugees or having settled in other countries. Israel captured the West Bank and East Jerusalem in a 1967 war and most of the international community considers them to be occupied territory. Israel considers East and West Jerusalem its “united capital” and has dotted the West Bank with Jewish settlements.
