What next, burning books?

(Israeli envoy vandalises work of art depicting a Palestinian suicide
bomber)

 

Have they had a long night of window breaking and book burning in Tel Aviv
yet?

 

<Thinks> Now what would Damien Hirst do? </>
Perhaps right next to the offending piece the chappy should have put a pile
of mangled human cadavers replete with embedded shrapnel to represent the
people killed by the suicide bomber.

 

He didn't really need to. The picture of the suicide bomber is floating
around in a pool full of a very blood red liquid. I don't think there is
much risk that the horrors of the situation is forgotten by the viewer.

I was very glad to see how the Swedish ambassador to Israel replied
to their demand that the offending art should be removed by the
government. Something like "can only be done after a court has
decided that it is in violation of law". But I doubt they understand
the message.
