Re: 'Beware of Jews' sign or Just Art ?

I thought it looked like a bit of fun. It didn't denigrate Jews or Judaism and I tend to be fairly pro towards them. It was one sign in one (maybe unwise) location. I believe the artist has done other signs "against" other groups as well.

Now while I do believe sensitivity is required we now have a situation where "speech" is offensive or hateful if the person hearing it deems it so. In theory that would allow anyone to be offended at anything and report it. Motivation needs to be taken into account when confronting these situations. Is the expression offensive because it's intended that way, a bit of inflation pricking, an observation of something "different" or is it trying to be hateful and stir up trouble?
