Is Banksy's Hotel effective?
Economic Side: Yes, more tourists are coming
Is it morally okay? Is extracting money from Palestinian suffering okay?
Extracting money benefits Banksy. However, the Palestinians are also being economically benefitted.
Therefore, Banksy's Hotel should stay for the good of the Palestinian people, because the result is good.
Raising Awareness on IP issue
His artworks are evoking controversial side as well. People's understanding of IP issue could be misleaded.
But, it's still attention!
Why do we need people's attention in the first place?
Go back in history. The British declaration of allowing the Israel to take in Palestinian land was wrong in the first place. By Getting attention, we can send this message.
But, if we decide to kick Israelis out, where would they go?
Keeping them together is more trouble!
Making the Israelis refugees is still not the best answer. But, they are using weaponry across the wall, putting innocent citizens at risk.
We should make the Israeli and Palestinian compromise to stop the weaponry going on.

It is dangerous, but we need international attention right now. Furthermore, people's interpretation of art is subjective.How can we judge a subjective thing?
People totally have the freedom to interpret the artwork as they wish, but international attention would result in people to be interested in the history of IP issue and discuss about it.
Banksy's work does raise awareness.
