Banksy
　Banksy is a street artist.// Nobody knows his identity.// He has painted many murals/in different countries.// The murals are well known/for their sharp social satire.//
　His paintings on the Israeli West Bank barrier/are especially famous.// According to the Israeli government,/this wall is a security fence/against terrorists.// However,/because of the wall,/Palestinians are isolated.// In 2005,/Banksy left nine murals/on the wall.// In one painting,/he drew a line with scissors/as if the wall could be cut open.// In another painting,/a girl is about to float/over the wall with balloons.// These paintings seem to have a strong message/against the wall.//
　Some people criticize his works/as graffiti,/while others find strong values/in them.// What do you see/in his paintings?//
