The art is over my head but I see the Star of David and what looks like a missile.
And the hood and stars are obviously virgin de Guadalupe. And some kind of message about war and kids.

I've seen more anti-Semitism on Curb your enthusiasm than this. Selective outrage mr garcetti?

Isn't it the Left who's constantly crowing about how hate speech isn't free speech?

Apparently now, when they get accused of it, they want to argue that the definition of hate speech is subject to opinion.....

Irony defined.

It depends. They're much more accepting when the hate speech is against certain groups.

I'm going to sneak out in the middle of the night and paint the side of a building with a backdrop of Chicago, with blacks pointing guns at each other, and with young teen girls holding babies, and food stamps showering them from above. Let's see how that goes over.

It is a US flag. Click on it and view the whole image. The field of blue stars and Stars of David clearly turn into red and white stripes with a missile coming out of it causing destruction below as the grim reaper picks up a dead baby.

Clearly Antisemitic then. The artist is saying that the Jews control America as they kill babies.

Disgusting.

We actually had one poster claim that the Star of David has nothing to do with Judaism.

As long as it's just about free speech, how about another mural showing an 10 year old Palestinian kid blowing himself up in order to kill a few Israelis?

Yes, when you view the entire image you get a different perspective. The American flag imagery seems to imply the artist was commenting on the U.S.'s role in the ongoing violence in the world, as the missile is clearly coming out of the U.S. flag. But certain posters here who see anti-Semitism everywhere will ignore that entirely.

It seems more anti-American than anything else.
