Whoever made it is a great artist and this is a beautiful piece of art. I don't see any problem with it, it's a view of the artist and would be a shame to destroy it. I actually don't think it's anti-semitic. It's not saying all Jews are bad, only that a few big nosed fat bastards are. 

Lol sure, I'll agree to that.  Nothing in that image says "Fuck Jews", it's just an odd coincidence bankers happen to be Jews.  If I painted a picture of Abraham Lincoln as a white man, am I being racist?  Or is Abraham Lincoln not white, and would the painting not be accurate?  There's simply no other way to do it.

This is precisely how these types of organizations totally de-legitimize themselves in the eyes of the world.

It's because of the eye; EDIT: Freemasonry symbol, which "happens" to be on a lot of things
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Providence

The Freemasonry symbol is the Compass and Square, not the eye on top of pyramid.
One of many, actually.

Today, the Eye of Providence is usually associated with Freemasonry. The Eye first appeared as part of the standard iconography of the Freemasons in 1797, with the publication of Thomas Smith Webb's Freemasons Monitor. Here, it represents the all-seeing eye of God and is a reminder that a Mason's thoughts and deeds are always observed by God (who is referred to in Masonry as the Great Architect of the Universe). Typically, the Masonic Eye of Providence has a semi-circular glory below the eye. Sometimes the Eye is enclosed by a triangle.

¿Jewish facial characteristics? You can talk about asians, africans, european, americans, but consider a religion as a base of "race" is ridiculous. Or what, isn't there no black jews?

And, even when I don't like it, the guy who make the mural has talent.

I agree that considering religion or culture as a base of race is ridiculous. Unfortunately you see this all the time in the media were Muslims are referred as a race or ethnicity. The problem with the word "Jew" stems from the fact it refers to both Judaism and a semitic race (or khazars according to some).

Enlighten me, unless you are doing ad hominem.
And tell us at least one jew characteristic you see on the mural, because I can't see what you see.

The nose for one, they are also drawn similar to some nazi propaganda (not the extreme ones).

The features of most of them seem quite clearly to be caricaturized stereotypical Jewish.

Like what? We must have different stereotypes of jews here in the U.S., all I see is a bunch of old fucks playing monopoly.

Not saying that it wasn't anti-semitic, or that it was, just saying I don't see the stereotype there.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
There are more people like this poster than a lot of people think. Richy_T was correct, antisemitism is still extremely prevalent among the far-right in the US and Europe.

And of course you give the far-left a pass on their anti-semitism.

Public school much?   Tongue

Right wing?  The right wing likes Zionism.  Even more than they hate Muslims!

They've completely linked Jesus and Israel.  I call their conflation of idolatry 'Jesusrael.'

They love the idea that the existence of a state called Israel proooves the Bible is true and that Jesus is coming back (real soon, any minute now).

You should to to Democrat Underground or Daily Kos and drop in to a George Soros thread if you want to see crazy anti-semitism run amok.

Please learn about the history of antisemitism before you make yourself look even more ignorant.
