Regarding the anti-Israel street art, it's striking how a very small number of people with a very high level of contempt for public property can make their message so visible. They also spray painted their message on sidewalks in Brooklyn. One wonders how these "Jews of conscience" (i.e. vandals whose definition of "Jewish values" excludes any empathy for the situation of their fellow Jews in Israel) would feel if the vast majority of NY Jews who support Israel took to spray-painting pro-Israeli slogans all over the place.
so human compassion is now considered anti-semitic.very interesting
