| Madonna suicide bomber art outrages Israelis |
| 2009-09-04 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] An Israeli art exhibition featuring photos of Palestinian suicide bombers pasted on to classic Madonna with Child paintings was cancelled on Thursday amid protests from victims' families. The works, entitled "Ferror (Female Terrorism)" by two Israeli artists, show the faces of seven Palestinian women suicide bombers grafted on to famous paintings of the Virgin Mary. Neither the organizers nor the artists could be reached for comment, but several hours ahead of the planned opening workers were seen removing the paintings from the walls of a Tel Aviv gallery. |

| #4 anonymous5089: Huh, and I always thought YOU spoke French. Well, I can batter my way through it (French parochial school nun-taught French is never quite forgotten, I think mainly due to fear of further bodily harm (except said bodily harm would now have to reach out from the grave, but I don't even want to consider taking the chance)) but I lose a lot of nuance. So post away. |

| #3 I think the diff between TBVM and the she-bombs? Two rather diverging "pious" female imagery. As for the israeli artists, well, it's nice to know the jooooooos have the same kind of "thought-provoking" Artists, kinda beats the wingnut meme of the violently ethnically homogenous/race-conscious Isreal willingly and gleefully dissolving the white europeans into Globalization and mongrelisation (pretty apparent the israeli jooooos have lotsa moonbats, and top-level ones, too). Of course, those folks would complain that they used Mary as a backdrop for their PC-wankfest. Oh, well, some people are never happy. (As an OT aside, should somebody here speak french, I can get a link toward the two MOST BESTEST antisemitic french wingnut websites, one is actually pretty good and interesting on several levels - that guy is being parroted by all the lesser, reflexive juice-haters -, the other is... it's a silly over-the-top parody made by Mossad jokers with too much time on their hand, right?) |
