156 Martha RoslerBrooklyn, New YorkI lived in the Mission 923rd between Florida and Alabama) for a few years. My child's friends included our next-door neighbors, who were Arab Palestinians. I think the attack on this portion of the vibrant mural culture is petty and divisive.

160 Katie UngerBrooklyn, NYAs a Jewish New Yorker, I wish the mural was in my community. It's vibrant and beautiful and reflects the experience of often marginalized young people. And it's in no way, shape, or form anti-Jewish or anti-Semitic and it is not violent. It's the attempt to tar breaking down barriers as "violent" that is playing to racism against arab and palestinian people.

162 Rochelle TowersOakland CASpeaking as a Jew, I feel strongly that the Palestinian narrative of history has every right to be expressed and do not see anything anti-semetic in the mural. To demand that it be removed is a form of artistic censorship that we cannot afford to allow.

172 Susan WitkaSan Francisco CaThis is not about Jews, it's about Occupation by a very repressive government. ......as a Jew ,I am very sensitive about the repression of others ......all injustice should be represented in Art ...the World is our Community.

174 Paula Abrams-HouraniVienna, AustriaAs a Jew, as an American, I fully agree with the letter and hope very much that justice and peace will prevail and that Palestinian rights will finally be recognized.
175 Gary FieldsSan Diego, California USAI am currently in Palestine and the mural is a very poignant depiction of what Palestianis have to endure from the Occupation, and how they are coping and resisting. The mural powerful and wonderful. I'd like to visit SF just to see this great work.
176 Jacob PichenyBerkeley, CAIt is unfortunate that Jewish community organizations feel the need to oppose depiction of the Palestinian experience, unfortunate also that they jump to automatic defense of Israeli policies, without apparently realizing that this undermines the Jewish value of Justice as well as the universal defense of human rights.

181 Nicole Witte SolomonBrooklyn, NYThis is a gorgeous and inspiring work of art, I am deeply offended that anyone wants to censor it--in the name of fighting oppression no less!

186 Michael RakowitzChicago, Illinois/USARegardless of one's political opinion, this is a freedom of speech issue. Removing the mural or forcibly changing its content constitutes illegal censorship. There is nothing libelous, false, or misconstrued in the mural. The Israeli government has unilaterally erected a separation wall between its borders and the Occupied Territories/PNA. The wall represents a furthering of apartheid procedures as pursued by the current Israeli administration. Down with the wall, down with this Israeli regime!

193 lila brainenew york NY usaFor me, justice is an essential Jewish value. The Israeli (and U.S.) governments support the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands. They do not speak for me as a Jew and for many of my (Jewish) friends.
194 Rachel WestSan Francisco California USAs a Jewish woman, living in the in the vecinity of the mural, I want to vigorously raise my objection to this attempt at censorship. There is a Jewish tradition of standing for justice along with the oppressed of the world and the attack on the Palestinian face on the mural goes against this tradition.
195 Cindy ShambanBerkeley, CA
196 Barbara Bennett AgostiniNew York, N.Y.As a Jew, I support my Israeli brothers and sisters who stand in opposition to the occupation and to the wall which divides Palestinians from their families and friends, and indeed from their own land and water. It is a wall which serves as a barrier to justice and peace and is thus fully justified to appear in the H.O.M.E.Y. mural.

198 mo shooersf, caArt challenges us if it's good. Some may be offended. No one represents any particular group or should claim to do so. However differences should be aired in an atmosphere of understanding free from fear and intimidation.
