McJesus causes Israel violence

Someone firebombed the museum at the weekend and local Christians have staged peaceful protests.
The Israeli culture minister has threatened to kill the museum’s state subsidy.
And the artist himself has asked for the object to be taken down as he supports the BDS boycott Israel group.
