Israelische poster tegen Apartheid Week hypocrisie

  The poster created by David Guy and Guy Gurfinkel

Deze poster is ook van toepassing op de hypocrieten in mijn woonplaats, Nijmegen, die met graffiti rond supermarkten oproepen tot het boycotten van Israelische producten en uitgebreid worden geinterviewd in het alternatieve stadsblad. Waarom moet een progressieve scene, die zich inzet voor het groen en de minder bedeelden in de stad, zich met dergelijke hypocrisie bezighouden en het opnemen voor een racistische genocidale organisatie die dagelijks raketten op Israel afvuurt?

Israelis fight fire with fire over Apartheid Week

Inspired by a controversial "Israeli Apartheid Week" poster, two local artists released a spoof they dubbed "Hypocrisy Week."

The original Canadian poster was an advertisement for an annual series of anti-Israel events held on campuses around the world.

It shows a gunship bearing the word "Israel" firing at a kaffiyeh-clad boy holding a teddy bear.

The poster was banned from two Ottawa universities over complaints that it displayed Israelis as child-killers.

The spoof shows the same boy being used as a shield by militants launching rockets at Israel, while journalists film the boy.

It was created by Australia-born David Guy, 54, from Rehovot, and his son's best friend, 23-year-old Guy Gurfinkel from Shoham, who will
begin studies at the Bezalel Academy of Arts next year.

"I've arranged the pieces, but Gurfinkel's the real artist," David Guy told Haaretz.
