Art wise I have no smarts, talen, etc at all. I can't tell a good painting from a bad one most of the time. Just don't have those kinds of gifts in my mind.
But I will tell you that I totally understand how the person was feeling after he saw that..
I am an American Jew, but I always will support Israel till the end of my days on earth, no question there.
Too many fucking fights as a kid when I was the fucking jew, or people drew racist shit, etc.

I went to art school and studied art for more than 3 years.
Racism? try growing up in the south of this country.
It doesnt matter what the guy felt when he saw the art, THAT IS WHAT ART IS FOR!
As I said, should non spanish people get pissy and destroy Guernica? Its one of the most valued paintings in the fucking world, again I say, I dont expect any of you to even know of the work. I have driven 14 hours and c rossed multiple states to see Picasso work, so there may be a difference between you and I, but no matter what a person "feels" when they see art, they cannot simply destroy it.
I mean seriously, I have some Pagan friends who DESPISE christians more than you could ever hate Hitler.
Are you saying its justified for them to destroy DaVincis Last Suppoer?
You have to stop thinking in the box and look at it from another perspective, there IS ANOTHER CAMERA VIEW.
Art is supposed to bring about feelings, but that does not give you the right to destroy it.
I am from the Chalmette battle fields, wherre they re-enact thew war of 1812 and Battle of CHalmette daily, are you sauing Canadians and Brits should come there, freak out and destroy the exhibit?
Of course not, its historry, its an event, and its art.
Whether you can realize it or not, I am guessing some just dont have the eye for it, or the wisdom to accept it for what it is.
AND AGAIN, the work DID NOT GLORIFY SUICIDE BOMBERS.
