Viral campaign shows Israeli leaders killing Disney child heroes

A new protest campaign by an anonymous Middle East-based graphic designer shows Israeli leaders killing the child heroes of popular Disney films.

The images, which went viral today after they were posted on Facebook by the Hamas Al-Quds news network, show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and outgoing president Shimon Peres murdering Pinocchio, Alice and Peter Pan, respectively.

In the first image, Netanyahu, wielding a hammer, can be seen crouching above a beaten, bleeding Pinocchio, poised to strike. A Palestinian flag lies by the wooden boy’s broken hand. At the bottom of the poster, a caption reads, “He never became a real boy… save the innocence in Palestine.”

In the next image, Livni can be seen brandishing a large knife above Alice’s bleeding head, her other hand holding the girl in place. A Palestinian flag lies in a pool of blood by Alice’s hand. The caption underneath the image reads, “She could never dream again… save the innocence in Palestine.”

In the last image, Peres can be seen throttling a bruised, bound Peter Pan, a murderous glint in his eyes. “He was forced to grow up… save the innocence in Palestine,” reads the caption.

The campaign, by an artist known only by the name Saint Hoax, is titled “Once Upon A War” and can be viewed on the artist’s website. In the past, Saint Hoax, whose trademark is “combining pop art with tyrants,” has created graphics to protest other issues as well, from domestic violence to British immigration policies.
