Israeli vandalises Swedish suicide bomber art

[Bereta_Eder]

yeah he is. And he's also human. I don't think they've figured out how to make human beings into robots yet? Besides it could have been impulse or it could have been calculated for the media attention, although as said this is just my cynisism speaking.

More from the caption:

And many people are indeed crying: the Zer Aviv family, the Almog family, and all the relatives and friends of the dead and the wounded

Can someone (Winston perhaps?) please explain to me how this is glorifying suicide bombings?

You should write a book on contemporary art. Your level of understanding seems immense.

Immense volumes could be written of what you don't understand, my fine blinkers-equipped left radical friend.

Glorified as snow white?

Once upon a time in the middle of winter
and three drops of blood fell
as white as snow, as red as blood, and her hair was as black as ebony
and the red looked beautiful upon the white
like a weed in her heart until she had no peace day and night
I will run away into the wild forest, and never come home again
and she ran over sharp stones and through thorns
and was about to pierce Snow White's innocent heart
The wild beasts will soon have devoured you
”Yes”, said Snow White, "with all my heart”
Run away, then, you poor child
as white as snow, as red as blood, and her hair was as black as ebony
and the red looked beautiful upon the white

Again: Israel must be destroyed and the land returned to its rightful owners.

I guess if you don't see the first time around how an exhibit designed like this and labeled "Snow White and the Madness of Truth" is glorifying of the suicide bomber mindset, there's no use in others trying to explain it.

I guess if you don't see the first time round that an exhibit detailing the sorrow felt by victims' families can hardly be a glorification of murder then it's useless pretending you aren't a ****.

Thank you, Winston. You made it all clear to me: you are right and I am wrong. I will consult you in the future to avoid making a fool of myself again

Seriously, art is not a newspaper article. You can't accuse it of glorifying something just because it looks like it in a 12 seconds analysis. Besides, even if it was, I don't think freedom of speech installed in a bourgeois museum has ever hurt someone. Leave it be, and disagree in a civilized way if you wish to.

See, someone gets it.

It's a bit touchy-feely like all artwork (I don't particularly care to understand the mindset of murderers) but it's more an example of books about manson etc. than it is an example of political propaganda.

Equating a mass murderer to Snow White, the epitome of persecuted innocence, sure gets the "artist's" message across clearly enough for me to be disgusted.

This debate should focus more on the depraved mind of the "artist", and the madness that apparently runs freely in there.

[KrazyHorse]

Burn his art! We do not understand his depraved mind!

Was it equating or was it irony; that somebody who superficially resembles Snow White is actually the opposite of an innocent?

Well, I had thought the ambassador to be the representative of a mass murdering state. I guess this could be worse than creating an obscure piece of contemporary art that might be interpreted in X way.

(Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the kamikaze has not commited mass murder).
