re: #371 yochanan

If you’re not an Orthodox Jew, Nimoy’s images would seem like bland nudity. It’s the interspersing of potent Jewish religious symbols in an inappropriate way that are offensive, like “Piss Christ”. A non-Christian wouldn’t care if an image of Jesus on the cross was treated with contempt by being immersed in urine by the artist. He/she might be able to understand why such a depiction would offend Christians.

I’m surprised that our liberal lizards don’t get that Orthodox Jews are wounded by Nimoy’s abuse of the religious symbols. Do they not care? Or are the only possible victims of bigotry their own select group of victims?
