Israeli embassy puts Mona Lisa in a hijab — ‘Israel now, Paris next’
The Israeli Embassy in Dublin has removed controversial images from its official Twitter feed, including one of the statue of Molly Malone wearing a Muslim headscarf.
The four photos featured well-known statues and artwork associated with different European countries. Weaponry and traditional Muslim headscarves were superimposed on the images. The pictures were posted last Friday but were removed after online backlash.
In a photo entitled Israel now Dublin next, Dublins famous Molly Malone statue is covered in a traditional Muslim niquab, a long black headscarf.
A picture addressed to Paris features the Mona Lisa covered in a hijab and holding a large rocket. In an image called Israel now Italy next, Michaelangelos David wears a skirt fashioned out of explosives.
Now some spin doctors, spamming for Israel, should tell DU if this is Bigotry and propaganda coming from the Israelis or some well thought out Hasbara.
