Well, I didn't see the image, either it was deleted or I couldn't find it. You didn't give a link, and there were no hits on either "Israel" or Isreal". As for you being irked about people using the galleries to air their political views, I offer you a question upon which to ponder; "why is it bad to express your political views through your art?". Art is a medium of communication. It has been used for centuries as a means to communicate political views. To restrict images that express political views condemns this site to a gallery of eye-candy pinups and stupid pink ponies. And this limitation only applies to the unpopular political views, of course; if it was a golden goddess waving 'Old Glory' while kicking in Hitler's skull, you wouldn't be complaining. Well, I, too, believe in freedom of expression, BUT, I also believe that anyone who says "I believe in freedom of expression, BUT..." really DOESN'T.
