The wall owner doesn't say, we have every right to display anti semetic art.
The owner seems to believe the artist didn't intend to characterize the grim reaper as a Jew, which is almost impossible to believe.
If so, the artist needs to be educated about what the Star of David is.
It's the virgin of Guadalupe, her blanket has stars on it. And the blanket also happens to look like the American flag, and some of the stars are Stars of David.
It's a message about Americans, Israelis, and Catholics/Christians causing war and death.
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.
Why does the American Flag being portrayed in a negative fashion have so many Stars of David on it? You seriously don't think that is a coincidence, do you?

Just curious, is it always anti semitic when you don't agree with an action done by the state of Israel?

If true, it's strange how it went from a country to a religion and then didn't include Muslims. Or was there a Muslim symbol on the mural?

No, I don't. I think the interpretation above your post is probably more accurate given all the symbolism represented there. So it's anti-American, anti-Israel and anti-Christian.
Note, I didn't say anti-Semantic, but anti-Israel, which is not the same thing.

Uh what? I have no skin in this game
but Muslims live in Israel as far I am aware of, and the star of David is on the Israeli flag. The artist is criticizing the actions of the states, both that supposedly hold strong religious values but cause death. It's not anti semitic to criticize an action.
The Star of David is also on the flag of Israel, but they didn't include the flag of Israel in the art, just the symbol of Judaism.
Look around the web, the malicious claim for over a century is that Jews control America to do its bidding. Look at that artwork again.
It's similar to the way Hitler was able to turn Germans against Jews - by building resentment toward them. It was especIally effective because of the economic downturn and the eagerness to find a scapegoat.
If and when we hit another recession, G-d help us as resentment is advanced against Jews.
It's a mural? Looks like spray paint on a side of an abandoned building which I call graffiti...
