I think I really upset a Christian graffiti artist today. What do the Jewish R&Sers think of it though?


I was on break on a job site, and noticed "Jesus love you" [sic] written among the other diverse graffiti on the picnic table in Sharpie marker. I took out my own Sharpie, and traced over the 'su' in Jesus and made it say "Jews". A few minutes later, one of the few people that work at that place came out, saw it had been changed, and got visibly upset. He went in, got some sandpaper, and came back out and sanded it off.

Jews, I hope I didn't offend you too.
Ester, I ask in the Jew's name that you quit doing that.
* in the Jews' name

Of course you now need a follow up experiment- go back and see if the "Jesus loves you" message is back. Changing it back to "Jews love you" would just be too cruel to the person in the shop who evidently has a problem to deal with! LOL

Spain's Ambivalence towards Western Sahara and Morocco

The haughty stance that the Spaniards exhibit toward Moroccans and the age-old Spanish xenophobia toward neighboring Morocco is alive and evident in the current Haidar imbroglio . 
The acidity of Spanish-Moroccan relations cannot possibly be explained only by the controversy over the Western Sahara affair.  Any visitor to Spain who raises the issue of Moroccan immigration will hear comments about the Muslim conquest of Spain, the Christian reconquest, a denigration and demonization of Islam and muslims. History dies hard in Spain. Portraying Muslims as indolent, fanatical, violent, cruel, and lascivious is as common in present-day Spain as it is in the pages of spain's History books.
Many Moroccans who would normally jump on any  occasion to lombast their own government for a variety of grievances like a slow democratization progress, social injustice, corruption.. . are very skeptical about spanish concerns for "the welfare and human rights" of the "sahrawis". Spanish prominent civilian and artistic figures such director Pedro Almodóvar and star actor Xavier bardem who take pain to express their solidarity with the "sahrawi" underdogs come across to many Moroccans as a veiled excuse to openly express their deep seated prejudices towards the "moros".
The Moroccan prize winning author Tahar Ben jelloun decried, few years ago,  Almodóvar's cultural snobbery after his refused the invitation of the marrakech Film festival. Benjelloun described Amadovar attitude as racist and part of a growing number of Spaniards with prejudices and anti Muslim sentiments.
The derogatory stereotyping of Moroccans intensifies periodically whenever a conflict arises between the two countries.
Warnings about the “Moroccan menace” still appear in media reports. Open xenophobic language has faded from public debate, however, this political correctness has little effect on the average person. Distrust, fear, and even hatred of Moroccans are often expressed openly.  these sentiments are expressed in publications and graffiti, as happened recently when various Moroccan affiliated building were defaced in Madrid.
Spain's official actions during the recent  Haidar's crises indicates Spain's deep ambivalence in the  Western Sahara affair.  The way  the Spanish government deals with the Western Sahara conflict shows  an obvious difference between its declared foreign policy objectives with respect to Morocco and its practice in reality.
