Banning a children's art work is extreme.

I'll sign, the world has ignored the abhorrent treatment of the Palestinian people since the mess made of the Israeli state in the post war days by Western leaders who made bad flawed decisions.Boundaries have consistently been ignored as have UN resolutions .Its not acceptable .

I and all the people I know are not anti semitic BUT we want justice for the Palestinians who continue to be treated in the most appalling way every day by the Israeli state .

I'm a member of a Scots for Palestine group which has a lot of Scottish jews who march with us as they too see the
injustice of the ongoing crimes against people who have had their homes stolen,their lives destroyed .

We all know and understand the unacceptable WW11 holocaust .....BUT surely people who suffered that should have empathy for others and not treat them in a similar way .
Rather than banning childrens drawings they should be publicising the situation for these people who are in an unending hell .

Like Maizie I’d have to see the images first.

It seems understandable when you read the reasons behind the decision.

If you click on the link there are small images of the plates.

This is an article from the Independent

I'd like to see the art works before I decide whether or not to sign.

Are there any images on line?

Chelsea and Westminster hospital used to have a piece of art which was designed by Palestinian children. The children drew images and Chelsea students printed them onto plates. It has been removed because some of the images were considered anti-Israeli. and the children are apparently potential terrorists. (not the victims of war they really are) There is a petition to reinstate it. Please sign chng.it/ngbJhMkpYS
