Painted after the bombing and destruction of the Gaza strip in 2015, Banksy's "Kitten in War" initially confused viewers as it seemed to be just a cute kitten spray painted onto the rubble of a recently destroyed building. The artist soon clarified that the piece was meant to draw attention to the discourse in the Gaza region using a cute kitten because they found that people on the internet seem to only focus on cute kittens instead of more important world matters.
