"A piece of art depicting Ronald McDonald nailed to a cross — imitating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ — has sparked violent
protests in Israel, with hundreds calling for the sculpture's removal.
Last week, hundreds of Arab Christians gathered to protest the sculpture, titled "McJesus," displayed at the Haifa Museum of Art in the northern city of Haifa.
Footage from the protest showed clashes between protesters and police as authorities used tear gas and stun grenades to clear the demonstrators. According to police, a few hundred demonstrators tried to forcibly enter the Haifa Museum of Art during the protest.
The depiction of a crucified Ronald McDonald was sculpted by
Finnish artist Janei Leinonen and is part of the museum's "Sacred Goods" exhibit. The museum's website explains that the exhibit, which also features Barbie doll renditions of a bloodied Jesus and the Virgin Mary, “focuses on the responses of contemporary artists to issues of religion and faith in the contemporary global reality” and has been on display since August.
Israel's Culture Minister, Miri Regev, wrote to the director general of Haifa Museum saying she had received “many complaints of serious offense caused to the Christian community’s feelings” because of the artwork.
Regev said, “contempt for symbols sacred to religions and many believers around the world as an act of artistic protest is illegitimate and cannot be displayed in a cultural institution supported by state funds.” CP
