Sculpture depicting 'McJesus' sparks outrage in some Israeli Christians

John from East Invercargill

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.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
