Israel being able to influence other nations like that really feeds into some awful stereotypes. Not that the Israeli government cares, who is weirdly fine with actual neo-nazis but god forbid a leftist treat Palestinians as human beings.
Of course, the reality of how they are able to influence things isn’t because they actually have more power or money. That’s stupid. Western governments want to retain their foothold in the middle east. You also have western powers, who have historically supported horribly antisemitic shit in the past, being very afraid of accusations of antisemitism.
That’s not even touching on the US republican party, which supports Israel both for the previously mentioned reason and as part of bringing about Armageddon. Very first world, having your foreign policy dictated by a doomsday cult. Thus, the Netanyahu government knows they can get away with basically anything and the West won’t stop them. Hell, nor will the rest of the ME who doesn’t give a shit about Palestinians outside of useful propaganda tools.
So children’s artwork gets taken down because it makes Jewish patients feel weak and victimized? Truly? A few people complained that the images the Gaza children had made would ruin it for everyone because they were afraid of some of the pictures. The images were then printed onto plates. Absolutely ridiculous.

Just more sad than oniony.

Btw, the website is from the United Kingdom Lawyers For Israel itself. This is *their* side of the story.

This is the kind of thing lawyers for Israel thinks is important. Removing children’s artwork from a hospital because ’reasons’

Just making sure Hamas was not hiding under the plates.
If left untouched the plates could be hiding terrorist, or might have been used as shields,
at that point Izrael would have to bimb the hospital and everything near it 🙁
But what else are they supposed to do? They have to protect themselves
weseire1983 says
Yeah, this is just nasty and vile. Seriously sick people who would do this.

Fuck Israel, but at the same time this is an older story, not really tied to the current conflict.

Remember folks the goal is Palestinian Erasure. Nothing else.
TitaniumGoldAlloyMan says
How pathetic do you have to be and how fragile that artwork from children are hurting your feelings? Subhuman behavior.
anus_themenace says
That’s pathetic.
BatofZion says
If those children were still alive, they’d be very upset!

Oh good lord

Well you have to admit, the message on one of the plates is pretty threatening:
“The olive branch is the symbol of peace and is used to express the wish for an independent Palestinian state”.
