Monkey Act: Where is the artist who will photograph three Sudanese?

It may be demagogic, but I'm still waiting for the fate of the artist who will present three Ethiopians as 'Three Monkeys' • when in pain – shout

Monkey Act: Where is the artist who will photograph three Sudanese?

Event: Exhibition in contemporary Jewish art.
Place: Jerusalem.
Artwork: Picture with three Orthodox Jerusalemites children with peyos.
Name: / nickname picture: "Three Monkeys" ...
Artistic explanation: Folk icon according to Chinese tradition, and children's motions according to Chinese monkeys.

Are you insulted? Your problem. Learn core curriculum. You will discover the monkeyish side of you. Learn Darwinism and you will find your roots. You still hurt? It's just more proof that you are ignorant and uneducated.

If you thought that only the media and the Knesset paint a negative light of the ultra-Orthodox, you will find art exhibitions adopted the perspective of the offending the ultra-Orthodox community and has made it creatively to the Jews in the contemporary - a monkey. Orthodox is not a parasite or leech, but a monkey.

Say, so what if he said? Not every word some idiot in the general public has expressed does the orthodox need to jump and protest, screaming and whining. Tell you the truth, sometimes I tend to be persuaded by this argument, which I think is also very Haredim reference and response - only increases and glorifies the name of the agitator, whatever. Especially when it comes to personality bordering on negligible unknown. However, as the hypocrisy cries out to heaven I shall not keep quiet.

When Miki Haimovich chewed out this topic, I thought the public is sufficiently intelligent, he does not like reruns and recycled materials, and probably not only did he not buy this red herring, but must also make fun of her. This approach adopted then she said ... But when an artist presents exhibition and creation he calls ' Three Monkeys ' , so even the power of Charles Darwin himself was not enough to calm me down .

I will use the simplest argument, and if you like, call him a demagogic and cheap: Imagine an exhibition where the artist would present a picture of three Sudanese, Arab or Ethiopian children and call this piece three monkeys. The country would be shocked by the plague.

Demagoguery? After that moment that things were published, were collected and demonstrators in front of the exhibition hall all the high-minded organizations, advocates of justice and human rights, dog and monkey. These were raised havoc at best would require removing this exhibition, and at worst require to invalidate the artist from his membership in any organization officially deny him any recognition of copyright.

Why, then, what's so bad and so forbidden to write about a Sudanese Arab and Ethiopian boy allowed and acceptable to write about Haredi child ? Is the definition of ' creative freedom ' which automatically applies to the orthodox child?

Say, then you shouted, and what you were good enough to? Actually, I have no idea. But when it hurts me I usually shout. And fortunately, more haredim allow us some freedom to scream and whining, at least it will use. And who knows, perhaps one day the various animal groups following an exhibit will scream and protest the insult to the monkey - and comparing it to the Haredi.
