Palestinian Artist Thrown Out of Dismaland for Anti-Israel Protest

A steward is seen outside Bansky's 'Dismaland' exhibition, which opens tomorrow, at a derelict seafront lido in Weston-Super-Mare, England, on Aug. 20, 2015.

The protest was deemed too "ugly" for the world's most depressing theme park

Palestinian artist Shadi Alzaqzouq has been thrown out of Banksy’s Dismaland after protesting against Israeli artists, whose works are on display.

Alzaqzouq, 34, lay on the ground by his two paintings, which he had covered with bedsheets from his hotel room. They were daubed with the words “R.I.P Gaza: Boycott Israel.”

Security guards were ordered to remove Alzaqzouq, who is one of three Palestinian artists exhibiting at the pop-up exhibition. The guards were told that his protest was too “ugly” for the park, reports the Jewish Chronicle.

“I found out when I arrived at the show that three Israeli artists were taking part, one of whom served in the IDF [Israel Defence Forces],” he told the Jewish Chronicle.

Despite being kicked-out, Alzaqzouq’s artworks remain on display.
