Repost: GBN Depicts a Bad Artist, So I Depict A Great One

Intro to Repost

There were too many stories to post this month. Australia and Canada, in particular, resemble 1920s-level Nazi propaganda. That is not an overstatement. Do a bit of research into how many synagogues have been burned, shot at, or at the very least threatened in Canada. “Peace-loving artist” Noga Erez continues to receive death threats, a reminder that previous criticism of the IDF never spares Israelis or Jews from a death cult that depicts Jews as horned demons.

Michigan saw a terrorist attack, where a Hezbollah-affiliated individual, described as peaceful and ordinary by much of the regressive left, including NPR, tried to justify an attempt to blow up an elementary school with 140 students. Media pundits insisted it was valid revenge for his brother being killed in Lebanon, omitting the brother was a known Hezbollah commander, and that Hezbollah dragged Lebanon into war in its ongoing attempt to legitimize itself, unelected, foreign, militants, as the voice of a once-Chrstian-majority-country it does not represent. What a mouthful.

I chose to repost this piece (available here:

because it immediately reminded me of a previous repost: Zain Alloul, “The Story of the Six-Day War” (1967), a journal from a young Palestinian girl who, of course, declared allegiance to Egypt at the time. Read that shocking reminder of what Israel has always been dealing with here: https://kingchill.com/jude/repost-1967

You may wonder how rotten parents need to be to teach their kids that Jews have horns and eat babies in 1920 or 1960. Then you see it happening again in 2026, across the world, and police insist it is acceptable because “they really mean Israel” or “they really mean the IDF,” even when verbatim copying exact same tropes used against Jews for centuries.

I have written about this rebranding of Jew-hatred over and over, so I will get to the actual post. Specifically, how a blatantly racist, Jew-hating artist, Matthew Collings, calls his Goebbels-level propaganda “Drawings Against Genocide” while producing what are essentially Basquiat ripoffs. He does it with a sense of righteousness, backed by police and art institutions that claim to enforce standards.

Despite recent censorship laws in Australia, it was obvious from the start that no real effort would be made to protect Jews. Figures like Matthew Collings openly spread Goebbels-level hate, but are careful to replace the word “Jew.”


Exhibition that shows 'Jews eating babies' deemed NOT abusive or insulting by police

The artist defended the drawings, saying that Zionism is a 'brutal ideology'

George Bunn; Mar 24, 2026

Drawings at an art exhibition showing Israelis eating babies will no longer be investigated by detectives as it is not "directly abusive or insulting" to Jews.

The exhibition, entitled "Drawings Against Genocide" led to a backlash from Jewish community groups who said the artwork at the gallery in Margate, Kent was "grotesque" and "not just sickening, but dangerous".

The artist behind the exhibition, Matthew Collings, said the aim of the artwork was "raising consciousness about hell” and that "Israel is the pure encapsulation of it" through its ongoing offensive actions in Gaza.

Now, Kent Police has said the exhibition has not reached the threshold to be considered either a hate crime or a non-crime hate incident.

In a letter to the complainant, a spokesman for the force told The Telegraph: "The artwork is critical of the Israeli state and its actions but does not include content that is directly abusive or insulting toward Jewish people as a group.

"There is also no indication of an intent by the artist to stir up racial or religious hatred, which is a specific requirement within the legislation."

One of the pieces of artwork depicted two auctioneers at Sotheby’s, which is owned by French-Israeli businessman Patrick Drahi, eating babies.

Mr Collings, 70, denied that it showed Jewish people, saying "nothing in the drawing says 'Jews' or claims Jews eat babies".

He adding the artwork makes a comment that the "owner of Sotheby’s is a Zionist" and "the message is that Zionism is a brutal ideology".

The artwork was met with backlash from Jewish community groups. X: ZOE STRIMPEL

Another artwork in the exhibition shows a soldier wearing an IDF helmet with a foot on top of a skull with the caption "New Order Forever Now", with multiple depicting Israelis as devils with horns with messages including "we love death".

Others featured Labour politicians with speech bubble saying "I am paid by Israel."

Labour Against Antisemitism has now written to Kent’s chief constable Tim Smith, calling on him to to re-examine the assessment.

The letter said: "It lacks any real understanding of contemporary antisemitism and empathy for a community experiencing record levels of anti-Jewish racism that include a deadly attack at a Manchester synagogue, and now the burning of Jewish ambulances.

"A number of terror plots aimed at the Jewish community have been uncovered only recently. These do not happen in a vacuum.”

"Exhibitions such as Matthew Collings’ incite hatred towards our community. They increase community tensions and create a hostile environment for Jewish people.”

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp criticised Kent Police's decision, saying: "Freedom of expression should of course be protected, but these pictures are clearly full of sickening antisemitic tropes.

"It is exactly this kind of appalling imagery that leads to attacks on our Jewish communities like the events in Golders Green.

"Our forces must step up efforts to protect the Jewish community from vile hate crimes. Kent should reopen this investigation immediately."

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp criticised the decision by Kent Police (PA)

In response to the letter from Labour Against Antisemitism, a spokesman from Kent Police said: "This is because the content is political in nature, focuses on a nation state rather than a protected group, and is part of artistic expression, which is afforded protection under freedom of expression laws.

"There is no information to suggest hostility toward Jewish people as a group, nor any indication of risk of harm.

"I understand that this outcome may be disappointing, especially given the impact that viewing the images had on you.

"Please be assured that your concerns were taken seriously and the decision was made only after a thorough assessment of all available information."


Thoughts on Repost

I hope to cover the recent ambulance burnings in England next, something, no doubt Matthew Collings will also glorify as just retaliation (if he has not already). If he’s so comfortable depicting Jews IDF as baby eaters, I’m sure he’s the type who also points out when synogugues have “Israel” in their name to justify attacking places of worship.

Of note, not mentioned in the article, the owner of Sotheby’s was never an IDF soldier. He’s a Moroccan Jew, and like many other Jews in Africa, sought a better life. Meaning, Matthew Collings personal vandetta with Jews worldwide being passed off as “about IDF” doesn’t even make sense, when he’s going after a Jewish auctioneer too.

But none of it is surprising. Attack a Jew, say it’s about Israel, and you’re in the clear.

The ambulance burnings, btw, depicts the sheer ignorance and propaganda propping up FREE FREE PUBLICITY! It’s a cult proud of ignorance, violence and shitty art. Their statements always reveal ignorance. With the ambulances, the cult repeatedly suggested Jews are the only group to have aided NHS’s lack of public healthcare services, despite St John Ambulance (and many others). ie, they attack and exceptionalize Jews for doing good. The death cult also repeatedly lied, including on television, that the “jew ambulances” only help Jews, despite thousands and thousands of comments from non-Jewish people recounting stories of being rescued by this Jewish charity. And as I’ve pointed out before, even a million corrections would not get these failed artists to stop lying, because they don’t care about truth… let alone art.

Burning Jewish ambulances to “free palestine” is just as artistic is Matthew Collings crap. And the response, “I understand that this outcome may be disappointing” resembles Facebook, Instagram and Twitter constantly telling people that diret calls to murder minorities, whether Jews or another, are fine by their community standards.

At the end of the day, what it always comes down to: bad people hiding behind worse performance. When you cannot create anything original, anything moving, anything technically impressive, you reach for shock. You reach for whatever guarantees attention without requiring skill. In this case, it is recycled aesthetics, derivative strokes, and the oldest hatred in the book dressed up as moral courage. Strip away the Jew Zionist rebranding and you’re left with blatant bigotry. If this is what passes for “art with a message,” then the message is mediocrity pays off.


Highlighting a Better Artist

Another story worth highlighting this month is that of a much, much better artist Amir A Fattal. Fattal’s works are unique, original, blend the old and the new and show what artistry is all about. One of his exhibits is called “POST-ARTIFICIAL PAINTINGS” and you can see a write up here: https://www.arterealizzata.com/exhibition-showcase/amir-fattal-post-artificial-paintings

Amir Fattal has never spoken about Israel or the war on record. However, he was born in Tel Aviv. That makes him a target for the ‘antizionists not antisemites.’ And no amount of silence over the subject, or genuine wishes that his Arab brothers have a meaningful Ramadan, will change that. Nor does the fact he’s queer (that makes him more of a target) and lived in Berlin for the last 25 years.

Fattal’s galleries were repeatedly threatened to the point he needed police protection. Then they were vandalized (property damage including carving into the door and walls, plus typical swastika graffiti) for the crime of being born in the wrong place, according to failed artists and other bandwagoners.

I don’t even get the message from these haters. They can’t seem to get straight if the Nazis “were right about the Jews in Palestine, “ or if the “Jews in Palestine are the real Nazis.” I don’t think anyone, not even the greatest artists of our time, can make sense of the Free Palestine messaging.

In a personal post showing the damage from the Free Palestine cult members, four horrible people rushed to laugh, including one who’s last name is ironically a misspelling of Israel. So I know where I’d start an investigation into who’s drawing swastikas all over Mexico:

Because I so often show the horror of this world, I hope you give Amir a follow, and remember that there are great artists and people out there, even if we are inundated with stories of failed artists who turn to bigotry to promote their work. Unfortunately, he’s less likely to get promoted for his great art, than the artists using Free Palestine as free publicity.
