Students at Bezalel Art Academy hold a sit-in and seal up their mouths to protest censorship following a row over the removal of images of Netanyahu displayed at the school.

The first image showed the prime minister behind a noose and saw its creator being questioned by police yesterday. The second image, which went up earlier today to protest the row over the original piece, depicts Netanyahu naked with the same noose over his genitalia. The second image is accompanied by the phrase: “Is this okay, attorney general?”
