      It’s ridiculous to think that a decorative plate made by a child could make you feel vulnerable.

      Show there isnt even anything that could be considered remotely offensive or harmfulon them

        What if they threw them at you while shouting "Opa"? What then?

        They could also help humanize the wrong type of people and we can't have that.

    It's even worse, they never actually received any formal complaints: https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/the-hospital-that-censored-gazan-childrens-art-its-worse-than-we-thought/ (the artwork was censored back in February 2023)

      But a Freedom of Information Act request by a dogged questioner has finally forced the hospital – after months of avoidance – to admit that it has not received a single complaint from Jewish patients. Hundreds of complaints were made about the removal of the artwork, but it has still not been restored

      Manufactured consent

    I'd really like to point out the date here. Isreal has been trying to play victim to a community they literally imprison forever. Shit like this has existed long since October 7th. I'm glad it seems like people are starting to see this ethnostate for what it is.

    This follows a complaint by UKLFI on behalf of some Jewish patients…

    No it doesn’t. “This follows a complaint by UKLFI after they were instructed by handlers to manufacture consent” would be more accurate.

        Everything that actually matters is redacted. The bourgoise don't give a fuck if you fact check their claims on this because they know the entire media and cultural atmosphere of the country is still on their side.

      Yeah, that was one of the first things that made me suspicious. This kind of thing is rarely organic, it's almost always christian zionists and large, well-funded hasbara groups using jewish people and the trauma of the holocaust as a shield for heinous foreign policy.

      Thanks for the research and the link! This is really helpful.

      Of course these complaints are only ever effective in one direction. us-foreign-policy

    It seems inevitable that the media push to conflate Judaism with Zionism in the face of such obvious evil on the part of Israel, is going to lead to a massive wave of antisemitism.

      Turns out if you just label everybody you disagree with a perjorative, regardless of context, that perjorative starts to lose its context.

      Ironically kind like with commie. After right wingers call everything left of Mitt Romney communism the general publics (at least younger generations) opinion on it softened.

      Similarly to how people came to the conclusion if wanting police to not murder brown people and wanting Healthcare made you a commie, people didn't reject those beliefs, they just decided maybe being a commie wasn't such a bad thing.

      Similarly if saying it's bad for Isreal to vaporize children and then make excuses for it makes you anit semetic, people aren't really going to be too concerned with getting called antisemitic anymore.
