    I think that this issue is more complex than just a case of anti-Semitism. May I suggest that the artist, through the conscious use of the word “Juice” and illustrations of both apple and grape juice, and the quotation coming from the mouth of a young girl, appears to be making a tongue-in-cheek comment on the unconscious, subliminal transmission of baseless misunderstandings of facts from generation to generation. One could, perhaps, create a reasonable back-story in which the girl overheard someone repeating the persistent lie that the Jews killed Jesus. She heard “Jews” mispronounced as “juice” and created a narrative from that error.

    I, for one, am willing to give the artist the benefit of the doubt and the reaction to this was reflexive and not considered.
