A controversy has erupted at the History Colorado Center after local artist Madalyn Drewno painted a mural with anti-Israel and antisemitic themes, despite being commissioned to depict Denver's Vietnamese immigrant community. The mural includes imagery and slogans that accuse Israel of genocide, depict Jewish money controlling politicians, and feature numerous flags associated with the campaign to destroy Israel.

The incident has sparked a debate over the limits of free expression, public funding for art, and the responsibilities of cultural institutions when confronted with bigoted content.
