Politicians blast Netanyahu ‘rope’ poster
Opposition leader Isaac Herzog condemns an art installation at Jerusalem’s Bezalel art school that shows Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a hangman’s noose. Likud MK Oren Hazan has lodged a complaint with the police over the artwork.
“Free speech is important and essential, but there’s no place to make use of it to incite harm against public figures on the right or left,” Herzog says.
The image of Netanyahu is modeled off US President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign poster, but instead of Hope the message is Rope.
