Norway: Museum displays artwork demonizing Israel



Via pro-Israel blog MIFF:

Sørlandet's Museum of Art (SKMU) in Kristiansand recently opened a new exhibition called "Collecting Then and Now for Later".

One of the artworks in this exhibition is "Glem ikke" ("Don't Forget") by Guttorm Guttormsgaard, which displays the 'crimes' of Israel throughout the years, mass-murdering and terrorizing Palestinian refugees.

For example, the 2003 panel says:
2003
Sharon-ISRAEL
mass-murders
REFUGEES
women men
PALESTINIANS
children elderly
LONG LIVE PALESTINE

The museum sees nothing wrong with the piece and think it encourages expressing different opinions.  They certainly don't think it's their job to censure it.  In fact, they bought it.
