    I’m not saying it was a good thing because obviously people shouldn’t conflate Judaism with Zionism, but my god this is not as big of a deal as the media wants it to be. One confused dumbass putting a Palestine sticker in the wrong place doesn’t need to be international news, and I get the feeling this is nothing more than a concentrated effort to amplify the story to support the “pro Palestine = antisemitic” stance that Isn’trael supporters have been bullshitting about.

    And that’s assuming this was even done by someone pro-Palestine and not some chud trying to stir up shit.

      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?

    Yeah this shit is not cool and also makes the movement look antisemitic do not do shit like this.

    If she was waving an Israeli flag that would be different, but acting like Judaism is Zionism is antisemitic.

      Amy’s father Mitch Winehouse had this to say

      I’ve got a feeling it was an Amy fan, and possibly didn’t understand the gravity of what they’ve done. Amy was a unifying force, she probably has more Muslim fans, because there’s more Muslims, than Jewish fans. My friend of mine was in Dubai a couple of weeks ago and Amy’s merchandise, flying off the shelves

      Imo the person who did it probably knew but her father clearly doesn’t gaf lmao

      How does this sticker gets an article from big names like The Guardian, BBC, the Independent and Fox News?

      Last week there was an open nazi march in Nashville. I tried to find a mainstream news article on it to send to a friend. I remember I couldn’t find anything from NYT, WSJ, FT, or any of the mainstream papers. I think the top results were from a local NBC affiliate and the Jerusalem Post.

      All due respect, but in what world is that more concerning or scary than a group of masked, probably armed, chuds openly marching with swastika flags in broad daylight? My god father’s parents were holocaust survivors and they’d be rolling in their graves if they saw those swastika flags waiving.

      yeah but someone had to come around from a private cleaning company and they had to remove the sticker correctly and it cost the city atleast 20.000£
