Gaza - Banksy Video Art Resurfaces and Words of Palestinian Author Ghassan Kanafani : Middle East Eye

A 2014 video art piece by Banksy, created for the WithSyria campaign, is gaining renewed attention on social media in light of the current situation in Gaza.

 
The work, now resonating with the plight of Gaza’s children, is coupled with the words of Palestinian author Ghassan Kanafani:

“I wish children didn’t die. 

I wish they would be

temporarily elevated to the skies 

until the war ends. 

Then they would return home safe, 

and when their parents would ask them, 

where were you? 

They would say, 

we were playing in the clouds.”
