Amy Winehouse was a talented musician with an incredible and unique voice. The defacement of her statue for anti-Israeli and antisemitic goals offends me as an Israeli, as a Jew and as a fan. ๐ท @EtanSmallman https://t.co/YNaHyzv7o0

More vile antisemitism in the UK. This time, defaming the statue of a dead Jewish singer. Pro-Palestinian activists have defamed the Amy Winehouse statue at @CamdenMarket in London. Her Star of David necklace has been replaced by a Palestinian flag. ๐ท @EtanSmallman https://t.co/aDkdZjVgPP

The Amy Winehouse statue has stood undisturbed and respected for years. It has her Star of David necklace out and proud. Until today when a pro-Palestinian defaced her Jewishness with a sticker. This is GROSS antisemitism. Please remedy this @CamdenMarket now. h/t @EtanSmallman https://t.co/2wCr8QwwSV
