Mock posters created for Pittsburgh Hillel event hosting Israeli fascist Efraim Eitam

Possessed with a messianic fervor and described by Israeli peace activist Uri Averny as "Israel's #1 Fascist", Eitam is in the U.S. as part of the "Caravan for Democracy", an Israeli government sponsored tour whose major purpose—apart from garnering support for Israel, currently seems to be encouraging America to see Iran as the number one threat to world peace. Netanyahu, Israel's current prime minister, conducted a similar "attack Iraq" tour prior to the second Gulf War.

Hillel hosted his Jewish National Fund-sponsored event. I made some mock Hillel posters.



Eitam was found guilty in an Israeli court for his role in the beating murder of a bound Palestinian in Gaza during the first Intifada. Claiming he was acting on orders, and appealing to the Supreme Court (as if the 'Nuremberg defense' had never been firmly established to be an illegitimate excuse), he later had his deeds whitewashed by Yitzak Rabin, the same Israeli defense minister who had given the famous "break their bones" order that Eitam was following.







Later, I uploaded the images to my Facebook account, joined the Hillel JUC of Pittsburgh's Facebook group, and added these to their pages. Surprisingly, they lasted a several days.
