Not even Israel would hire you as an Ambassador though because it is a good idea to have representatives of your country act in a mature manner and not try to quash freedom of expression in a most child like way (of course since that is exactly what Israel's foreign policy is I guess the Ambassador was fulfilling his function adequately).

Hello! It's not about that but the fucking Israelies demanding that Sweden censor a work of fucking art!

But hey it's okay I know that you live in the land of the unfree!

Damn it, I forgot. Israeli can do no wrong, guys. Anything they do, no matter how puerile, stupid, or bullheaded, is always right, no matter what. Because they are Israel, and for some reason, Israel is a sacred cow.

The artwork was repaired and was on Saturday on view to the public, despite Israel's insistence that it be disassembled.

Oh, and it seems Isreal has adopted the position of telling Sweden what to do, as well.

Now they just have to call it "Degenerate Art" and it would all fit...

And they think they'd deserve a place in Europe... :roll:

Morons, if it's truly against that bitch, then why is her fucking little toy boat
PURE WHITE? Shouldn't it be bloodstained if it's truly against her?

Either way, they don't deserve this kind of attention, their names and faces
should be left to be forgotten, as no one gives a fuck who they are.

This is stupid, should I go and destroy every piece of art I don’t like because it contains something which could represent my enemies?
I don’t understand why this guy is allowed to stay in Sweden; the ambassador broke the law and should be sent home. In Sweden we have a democracy and we like our freedom of expression.

Perhaps the boat is white to illustrate that the bomber saw herself as pure and the viewer can contrast that with the pool of blood she left behind?

I really don't know and I really don't care.

If I were a Swede, I'd be fucking outraged and be demanding that the Foreign Ministry PNG that fucker right now and tell Sharon to go kiss Hitler's ass in Hell. :evil:

I don't know... the fact that it was floating in a sea of "blood"?.

The Israelis and Swedes clearly do give a fuck who they are.

Latest news from the land of multicultural tolerance...

Post by CJvR »

The fellow in charge of the art in the exhibition, Thomas Nordanstad, was almost shoved down a stair outside the museum of history today. He has also recived 400+ e-mails, most of them insulting or threatening.
During the day several people have been throwing stuff in the water, pictures of murdered Israelis etc...

Outside the Israeli embassy someone had spraypainted "Stop nazism, free Palestine!"

The Swedish goverment have refused Israeli demands to take action against the art.

But of course this isn't Israel's fault, oh no this is just because secretly deep down all Europeans are Anti-Semites.

Hey cool, I suggest you try the principle of freedom of speech by trying
to get an artwork involving Mohammed Atta into a major art museum in
the united states :twisted:

I'd have a fair chance if I was a recognized artist. After all, name recognition matters more than talent when it comes to submitting pieces to a gallery. An famous artist could shilack a sandwich and the MOMA would take it.
