Portraying an instigator of hate, death and destruction as a lilly white fairytale character is disgusting, and the Israeli ambassador should be given a medal for calling attention to it.

Absolute idiocy.

that is art? I think someone needs to go get his MBA before its too late!

This is a classic case of worthless modern art. Attempt to shock people, to get recognition.

But now, because some fool flipped out and gave the art the attention it did not deserve, he has hurt his own cause. Had he just sneered at it and walked on, it would have died an unknown death in the large cesspool known as "modern art" today.

Artist and Ambassador sound like dramatic idiots.

What about the Anti-America afghans? Are they art?

[Bosh]

Do you neglect that the Arabs were trying to kill all the Jews in the Mandate? Who was going to protect them when the Brits left?

Well little things like having farmers thrown off their land by Jews that bought up the land (of course equally the fault of Muslim landlords who sold the land) and having a blatantly unfair partition plan what put VASTLY more Muslims on the Jewish side than vice versa. This of course led to other bits of unpleasantness when they had their houses bulldozed...

Too bad the ambassador didn't preface his actions with this statement:

"I shall now present a piece of performance art by using my hands and feet to destroy this exhibit, thereby symbolizing the deep grief felt by all those who have suffered at the hands of suicide bombers"

Wonder what the "you-fascists-just-don't understand-art" crowd would've said then?

So, Boshko, you advocate the mass slaughter of Jews?

Kull, you must know that the left's defense of artistic freedom is insincere.

There've also been some synagogues vandalized, IIRC.

(That's not to say Toronto is an anti-semetic haven, just trying to put a little reality in)

A murder? A couple of attacks on synagogues? Well, given that A Jewish person is more likely to be the victim of random violence than specifically anti semitic violence, I don't think it's a big deal.

If Ned supports a point of view, said point of view is wrong.

I love relativism

And the converse is equally valid, to be sure.

Ned notes, for Whaleboy's benefit, that he argued in another thread that Whaleboy was not arrogant.

[General Ludd]

Dumbest argument ever.

Let's give a skinhead a sledge hammer and put him in the holocaust museum. I'm sure you'll love the performance he delivers.

Why not? They are well liked here, prosperous and have a strong sense of community.

What's not to like?

The Jews were well liked, prosperous and had a strong sense of community in Germany too.
Racial Tolerance is very fickle, today you might like your foreign friends but tomorrow you will blame them for losing your job.
These kinds of statements are ridiculous once you go through Jewish history.
Even the Medieval Muslim states weren’t always so tolerant to the "People of the Book"(That includes Christians).
The Level of tolerance was determined by the ruler’s whims and by economical state.

But we live in a different world now. If you live in Toronto, which is about the most ethnically diverse city in the world, the Jewish people are just one minority among a majority of minorities. You can't pick on all of them.

In advanced industrialized societies pluralism is now the norm.
