they say that Jewish patients felt victimized and harrassed by it....

is political opposition to israel's actions too often construed as antisemitism?

I think that stuff that seems to take sides in a delicate situation or have dark connotations would be better not placed in a location like a hospital, where people tend to be in a vulnerable and fragile state. It's a simple matter of being sensitive. I've seen artwork in childrens' wards and they are usually considered as being beneficial for the kids - they tend to depict flowers or perhaps landscapes which are chosen for the psychological benefits of such themes.

Perlease!

If I was Jewish, I'd be upset too.....not the place to show it but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be shown.

After Corbyn and the Momentum mobs anti-semitism,unfortunately the hospital had to take down the artwork.What were they planning next-a swastika flag?

[ichkeria]

Definitely not the place to put it.
In fact, utterly bizarre in my opinion.

Criticise Israel and you'll be categorised as an anti-Semite.
Could artwork by children really be threatening?

[ynnafymmi]

Hello,sandy,how are you?Perhaps if a child painted a swastika flag and put it up,then yes it could be considered threatening.

[bazwillrun]

the only reason theyre showing it in the first is as a political statement being made by the woke pc idiots that infect the place...

When I first read this I thought it was art by gazza, the footballer, now that would be offensive!

read the attachment - it says 'However, the drawings from Gaza all appear to be professional artwork, in the same style, and carried out by the same person.'

@15.14.So possibly painted by some of Corbyns anti-semitic mob?

[sandyRoe]

Were there any Nazi symbols on the plates?
Imagine an image of a farm in Palestine with the caption: This was our family home until armed Zionists threaten death if we didn't get out.

[ynnafymmi]

Hatred of the Jews doesnt always have to have Nazi imagery on them,sandy.

\\ 'However, the drawings from Gaza all appear to be professional artwork, in the same style, and carried out by the same person.' //
This is usually standard practice when, as in this case, the originals were designed by children. The new pound coin designed by a child was redrawn by an expert.

Does anyone know how long it's been there?

Lawyers for Israel say it is drawn by a pro but have no substantiation...

one could hardly be surprised that children from an oppressed area would make art about being oppressed... in what way does this "attack" or victimize jews of chelsea and westminster?

[Untitled]

why was this not the place for it?

[ynnafymmi]

Aye,right Untitled.Probably painted by one of Corbyns anti-semitic mob more like.

The identity of the artist is irrelevant. It’s political and for that reason it shouldn’t be there.
