'McJesus' art sculpture at Israeli museum upsets Christians, sparks calls for removal
"The display is intended to be a criticism of capitalism worship. Jani Leinonen, the Finnish artist behind "McJesus," has also asked that it be taken down — but for a different reason.
He says he supports Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions, or BDS, a Palestinian-led movement aimed at pressuring Israel to change its policies toward the Palestinians. The group has made significant gains in recent years, persuading a number of foreign artists to cancel performances in Israel."
