KTLA ^ | 02/27/2019

Posted on 02/27/2019 12:15:15 PM PST by BenLurkin

A mural that depicts a Grim Reaper wearing a cloak covered with Stars of David, holding what appears to be a dead baby and a missile, was blasted by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s office as a “shameful act of anti-Semitism.”

The mural is painted on a brick building that’s home to the Vortex, a 400-person event space in downtown Los Angeles.

I'll bet the theater is supported by both "art" money from the government and corporate "donations" (i.e. shakedown money).

The leftists behind this disgrace need to be outed.

Has the mayor been on the college campuses here in California? Antisemitism is alive and flowing here.

Honestly, I don’t like all the conflation of anti-Israel with anti-Semite. It’s not quite the same thing. Yes, Israel is supposed to be the state of Jews (and has a David star flag), but it’s a state, comprising others as well.

The problem here is idiots who think Israel is terrible for “not letting Palestinians (Moslems) play”. That, generally, is their real target - pro-Moslem but anti-state (of Israel). Trust me, most of these commie libs wouldn’t be caught dead stating something “hateful” about Jews, per se. It would be un-PC.

This is what I wrote on the ADL LA FB page Picture: As a Conservative Jew and one of the very very few conservative Jews I know ALL my liberal Jewish friends are ultra pro abortion. And now that they approve of Legalized Post Abortion Abortions the mural rings true! If the Truth hurts so be it!
Please note it just doesn’t show stars of David it also shows stars from our flag.

Also arguably a slant on a traditional portrayal of the Queen of Angels.

The anti-Americanism is okay. Just not the anti-semitism

How could anyone see that as anti-Semitic? /s

Man oh man, the excuses of a thirteen year old logic sure are prevalent today.

LA’s a sewer run by a bunch of liberal nutballs. The picture doesn’t surprise me.

For the record, the vandal stated he didn't mean to imply he disagreed with the mural's emphasis. /s
