Pictures shared on social media showed the pendant with a round Palestinian flag sticker over the Star of David, a symbol of Jewish identity.
She later added: “Whoever defaced the Amy Winehouse statue did it with the intention to cover up her Jewishness. They didn’t put it on her top. They put it over her Star of David. Stop denying. We are not stupid.”
“This was removed immediately, and the incident was reported to the police. Camden Market remains, first and foremost, a place of diversity – a global destination that welcomes everyone. Any form of discrimination on our estate will not be tolerated.”
“We know this will have caused upset to many people. We are making enquiries with Camden Market to establish the circumstances and what evidence, such as CCTV footage, may be available.”

I wonder what would have been the reaction if somebody said the star of david was a hate symbol. (mean, lets be honest here. it’s a symbol used to identify the IDF; and is on the israeli flag;)
I get that it’s not. but I also get how a Palestinian person might see it that way. IMO, take the damn sticker off and call it good.
