Letter from Larry Shapiro, Calgary to the Joseph Wales Studio, Margate, England, in response to their show, Let it Bring Hope. Let it be a Tale

Joseph Wales Studios, Margate, England,

Dear Joseph Wales Studio,

Your show, "Let It Bring Hope. Let it be a Tale" - Drawings Against Genocide by Mathew Collings - organized by " Art for Free Palestine" attempts to implicate Israel and the Jews in the  carrying out of a genocide on the Gazan people. I won't go into the reason why this accusation is bogus, I mean you need bodies and mass graves. none of which exist to have a genocide, but let the Palestinians have their genocide. It’s cathartic for a people so devoted to their own victimhood.

What I want to interest you is to publish this picture which shows the Palestinian leader, The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Mohammed Amin al-Husseini sitting with Adolf Hitler planning to burn Jews. The Palestinian leader apparently inspired Hitler to create the Final Solution, i.e. the disposal of the Jews. If you are showing art that is related to genocide with a Palestinian twist, your show will be incomplete without this picture.

Here is the picture titled:

Adolf Hitler receives the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem 28 November 1941

Thank you for considering expanding the scope of the genocide of and by the Palestinians.

Lawrence Shapiro
