Police have said they are investigating the defacing of an Amy Winehouse statue in north London after a Star of David necklace was covered with a Palestine flag.
If they had a problem with a Jewish woman wearing a symbol of her ethnicity/culture I don’t think there’s any greyness or excuse for “confusion,” it’s objectively wrong. Conflating Jewish identity to Zionism is unambiguously antisemitic whether it’s a zionist or antizionist doing it. (btw Amy was a secular jew so this isn’t even about judaism either)
But yeah obviously nothing news worthy, it’s just one random mf, and could easily be false flagged. Could you imagine a single media outlet reporting on a zionist putting a coin sized Israeli sticker on the statue of a muslim?
