Likud Is Furious



I saw the above on a bus today.

I came back home, searched around a bit and found out that the Likud is furious about the slogan.

It translates as: " Bibi? I don't believe him."

Haaretz (in Hebrew) is reporting that the Likud is demanding that either the bus posters be removed in that they represent electioneering not in accordance with the regulations or that a sposor's name be attached. In Israel, non-party bodies cannot participate in electioneering.

The fact that the posters are anonymous is not only simple cowardice but it allows a real party, say, Kadima, from assuming resposnibility for dirty politicking as well as having the advertisements assigned to the allowance each party is permitted. And it also would damage Tzipi Livni's image as a clean politician. I'm guessing Eyal Arad is behind it for he's the eminence grise of black work or dirty tricks and loves to deal in "psychological propaganda".

More to come.

While the sticker may not be appropriate the way it's presented, frankly, I don't believe him either.
