Graffiti is a hate crime, by anybody
Simon Tatz refers to the Bali bombings, domestic violence, and child sexual abuse, all terrible things, and all completely irrelevant to this topic.
What is not irrelevant, as I mentioned and which he and many others choose to ignore, is the long list of extremely hateful, racist and deplorable statements by members of the Israeli Government, both current and previous.
So, confected outrage, double standard or hypocrisy? Maybe all three.
He seems to imply I, and others, have no experience of prejudice, racism, etc. and have no right to comment. I have every right, as we all do.
He should refrain from making assumptions about people and their lives, as I can guarantee him he will have egg on his face.
Racism and prejudice are to be condemned, whoever promotes it and whoever receives it, a concept Tatz appears not to adhere to.
