Article on stuff re an Israeli museum with a sculptor of a McDonalds portrayed as Jesus on the cross upsetting some people . The museum stated " Tal said the museum won't bow to religious or political pressure.

"We will be defending freedom of speech, freedom of art, and freedom of culture, and will not take it down," he said."

I bet if it was a sculptor of a Jew in an oven it would be a very different story. I am not religious but hypocracy is another story.
Do people realise that almost half of US States have laws that prevent anyone going against the business interests of Israel .
A Texas special-ed teacher was fired after refusing to take a pledge never to boycott Israel or take any action that would penalize Israel economically. The oath, embedded in her employment contract, is just one example of the anti-BDS legislation flooding the US at the moment.
