With the Mediterranean refugee crisis as much a hot-button issue in Europe as it is in the U.S., famous graffiti artist Banksy has used Steve Jobs as a subtle reminder of the benefits immigrants can offer to a country. Steve Jobs was the son of a Syrian migrant.
The artwork appears at a refugee camp in Calais, where many Syrian refugees are among those hoping to enter Banksy’s home country, the UK. The image depicts him carrying a bag with one hand and a Macintosh (sadly with very inaccurate proportions) in the other.
Earlier in the crisis, more than 15,000 people retweeted a photo posted by tech entrepreneur David Galbraith with the caption ‘A Syrian migrants’ child.’

Back in September, Apple supported humanitarian aid efforts by making its own ‘substantial’ donation to relief agencies, inviting iTunes users to donate to the Red Cross, and by offering to match employee donations. Earlier this week, Tim Cook mentioned the refugee crisis in a speech to the RFK Center.

So Banksy when and how many are you having live with you??
Completely out of context. Jobs was adopted at birth by a normal american couple and was not raised as Syrian. His biological Syrian father practicaly abandoned him. Sadly, migrants living in the, so called “Jungle” in Calais are constantly obstructing and robbing truckers on the highway. You can find videos on youtube.
There’s nothing “normal” about anyone from the USA.
LOL.. so what countries are so “normal”? you think the world outside of US is amazing? have you been to other countries? have you seen shitty corrupt countries and how people are living there? of course US isn’t perfect but open your eyes. go troll somewhere else man.
Queue, the Americanphobic….well you the rest.
Ahhh, yes making the good old “everyone is like this guy point”….of course thats the reality isnt it.
Queue the xenophobic bullshit in the comments.
Yet, you are the only one here using childish language….imgaine that.
Ummm so Steve wasn’t born in SF and he illegally migrated to the US?
Tagline is “A Syrian migrants’ child.” That’s pretty relevant, I’d say.
You mean A Syrian Abandoned Child adopted by Americans. Yeah after he was dumped by his biological Syrian Father.
