"An “anti-Semitic” art exhibition with drawings allegedly showing Jewish people eating babies was seemingly promoted by a Labour council.
The Drawings Against Genocide exhibition at an independent gallery in Margate, Kent, features hundreds of crudely-drawn pictures that critics claim contain anti-Semitic tropes.
It is the work of Matthew Collings, 70, formerly one of the country’s leading art critics, who said the art was “about raising consciousness about hell” and that “Israel is the pure encapsulation of it” through its actions in Gaza.
Jewish campaign groups and politicians said the drawings were “grotesque” and “not just sickening but dangerous”.
Kent Police said it was making inquiries into the exhibition.
‘Pictures dripping with anti-Semitic tropes’
Labour-led Thanet district council has been criticised for supporting the “openly anti-Semitic exhibition” after its tourism website, Visit Thanet, appeared to previously promote it, providing information on dates and venue on a since-deleted web page.
Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said: “This extremist Labour council is supporting an openly anti-Semitic exhibition. These pictures are dripping with sickening anti-Semitic tropes, and all those involved in this should hang their heads in shame.”
One of the drawings on display at the Joseph Wales Studios depicts two auctioneers at Sotheby’s – which is owned by Patrick Drahi, a French-Israeli businessman – eating babies, with blood dripping from their sharpened teeth.
Alex Hearn, from Labour Against Antisemitism, who posted the drawing on his X account, said the exhibition portrayed Jewish people “as blood-soaked, baby-eating demons”.
Mr Collings denied that it showed Jewish people, saying “nothing in the drawing says ‘Jews’ or claims Jews eat babies”. He said it “makes a comment that the owner of Sotheby’s is a Zionist” and “the message is that Zionism is a brutal ideology”.

Other artwork depicts a smiling Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier standing over a pool of blood and a human skull, and a figure holding a Star of David flag dripping with blood.
Another showed Lisa Nandy, the Culture Secretary, alongside bank notes and an Israeli flag, with speech bubbles coming out of her mouth saying “I am a Zionist” and “I am paid by Israel”.
Allegations that Jewish people secretly control mass media and governments are a common anti-Semitic trope. A spokesman for the Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “These images are grotesque. This isn’t art but incitement, drawing on classic tropes.”
Addressing the apparent promotion by the council, the spokesman added: “It’s a disgrace that the local authority is promoting this exhibition of hate – it should apologise.”
Debbie Fox, the interim chief executive of the Jewish Leadership Council, said: “This is an outrageous exhibition, which appears to use Israel as cover for displaying imagery associated with ancient anti-Semitic tropes.
“This sort of imagery has been used to dehumanise Jews for centuries, with deadly consequences. In the context of rising global anti-Semitism and attacks against Jewish communities the exhibition is not just sickening but dangerous.”
‘Shocked and threatened’
Zoe Strimpel, a columnist for The Sunday Telegraph, visited the exhibition on Saturday. She claimed she had raised concerns about the artwork “as a Jewish person”, and had been shouted at by Mr Collings.

“As soon as I started to say I was shocked and threatened by what I was seeing because it was Nazi imagery, the artist started yelling at me that I didn’t mean anything I was saying,” she said in a post on X.
Ms Strimpel added that he claimed that she was “defending a genocide”.
Giving his own account, Mr Collings dismissed the incident as “Zionist nonsense”.
He said in a Facebook post that a “well dressed middle class educated person” came to his show and “shouted at me that as a Jew she felt she was in an unsafe place and she was going to complain to the police”.
“Someone else in the room said ‘I’m a Jew and I don’t feel unsafe’. I would say my feeling personally is that this Zionist nonsense of making all these false allegations so anti-Semitism can be conflated with anti-Zionism has run out of effectiveness.”
‘Target is always Zionism’
Mr Collings presented a dozen art documentaries for the BBC and Channel 4 between 1995 and 2014, and won a Bafta in 2000 for the Channel 4 series This is Modern Art.

Months before the 2019 general election, he was nominated as a Labour parliamentary candidate for the South West Norfolk seat held by Liz Truss, the former prime minister.
Just a day after his selection, however, he was suspended by the party and dropped as its candidate after it emerged that he had dismissed allegations of anti-Semitism in Labour as a “witch hunt” and described a former chief rabbi as a “notorious hate-filled racist” in social media posts.
At the time, Mr Collings described the claims of anti-Semitism as “nonsense”. He also claimed he had been fired from his role as art critic at the Evening Standard over the posts.
His latest exhibition opened on Saturday, and runs until March 29. In response to the claims of anti-Semitism, he said: “All my drawings are direct and clear... the target is always Zionism. Zionism is not ‘Jews’. It is a political ideology.
“When people are horrified by the genocide being committed against the Palestinians they do not condemn Jews. Many of those horrified are in fact Jewish people. The condemnation is against the politics of that genocide. The name of that politics is Zionism.”

A Kent Police spokesman said the force had received a report of a concern raised regarding the subject matter of the exhibition on Saturday afternoon, and that inquiries into the report are ongoing.
Joseph Wales Studios was contacted for comment. Thanet district council did not reply to a request for comment."
Alex Hearn on X: "So
@kent_police
informed me this is legitimate “criticism of Israel”, based on their views as non-Jews and what the artist told them. They deny it is “insulting or abusive to Jewish people”. They say there is “no information to suggest hostility” towards Jews. But it features a Star of David (not a flag). It targets Jews both in the text and as individuals, with one even accused of eating babies alive. The imagery comes from a rich heritage of anti-Jewish hate. But suddenly Macpherson principles don’t apply to Jews again (remember the force that told me swastika weren’t offensive to Jews?). Now Kent Police have joined them in deciding Jews can’t recognise blatant anti-Jewish hate.

In the screenshot I added, with a picture from the exhibition, it shows a star of David, NOT the Israeli flag, dripping with blood. Couldn't be more blatant.
