Naqba Crap

It's this

versus

this

which is the anti-Naqba poster of Im Tirzu which advertises a booklet revealing the truth about the claim of Naqba: "Naqba Crap" - they attacked; they left; they expelled; they lost.

Here:

As Palestinians in the West Bank and Arab Israelis inside the Green Line plan to commemorate “Nakba Day” on Sunday May 15, the right-wing student group Im Tirtzu has launched a campaign to discredit what it says is a narrative of myths and lies dealing with the teaching of the founding of the State of Israel.


At the center of the campaign is a 70-page booklet entitled Nakba Harta – or Nakba BS – which is meant to reveal “a lie that threatens to drown us like a tsunami.”

Nakba – Arabic for “catastrophe” – is the day when Palestinians commemorate the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. Several Palestinian groups have called for major demonstrations in several Israeli Arab and mixed Israeli cities in honor of Nakba Day.

The booklet, written by film director Erez Tadmor, one of Im Tirzu’s leaders, and Arel Segal, a columnist for Ma’ariv, presents what it describes as a growing campaign to delegitimize Israel through the framing of the foundation of the State of Israel as being linked to a wholesale ethnic cleansing or deportation of the native Arab population.

Anat Kam Poster

Further to the news that Anat Kam is guilty, the Im Tirzu poster -

It reads (and there's a play on word sounds)

Anti-Zionists Have Come Just So Far

Explanation: in Hebrew, 'just so far' is usually ad kan and the play is in writing ad kam, her name.

Not-Naomi

Remember all that hullabaloo concerning the "antisemitic" Im Tirzu anti-New Israel Fund poster portraying Naomi Hazan with a horn (since the Hebrew word for horn, keren, also means "fund")?

Well, this is not Naomi:-

It's a model who is wearing a fashion creation by French designer Eric Tibusch.

If this is the level of fashion, I can see why Naomi really got angry.

On the other hand, since NIF people are really way upper-middle class and all that, you'd think Naomi with a horn wouldn't be that outrageous.

Peace Now - This Way and That

Several bloggers have noted the appearance of this poster a few days ago around Jerusalem:-



It's sponsored by a student group initiated by a friend of mine, Ronen Shuval, called Im Tirtzu.

Muqata's translation:

Evacuate Gilo - NOW!

Peace Now is everyone's problem!

At this rate we'll all live be living in caravans [or: caravillas]!

Provided as food for thought by Im Tirtzu and concerned Jerusalem citizens.

Oh, and if you want to see a real Peace Now advert that might get you upset, try this one:



Such nice Jews and Zionists.

Fighting The Internal Subversion

Here is an example of what true Zionism in Israel faces:

...As the fighting rolls on in the South, the battle for public opinion rages around the world. Hamas, forever cynical in their tactics – are intentionally firing rockets at Israeli civilian population centers while cowering behind kindergartens, schools, hospitals, and places of worship – using their own people as human shields. In response, Israel is working hard to defend itself, while risking life and limb to minimize civilian casualties. As Israel works hard to make its case heard across the world, another more urgent front has opened up in this war – the battle for Israeli public opinion. Israel is unable to pursue this campaign of self-defense without the continued and ongoing support of the Israeli public. Unfortunately, many parts of Israeli society are working hard to undermine this campaign, swaying public support against it, and causing the Israeli government to falter.

Over the past few days, Israel’s universities have been transformed into a hotbed of anti-Israel activity. Hamas flags are seen flying proudly over crowds of hundreds of Arab students chanting slogans of incitement against Israel as onlookers watch and listen in fear. Though these terrifying scenes look more like an enemy rally than an Israeli university, they are covered favorably by the Israeli media, helping to sway public opinion against Israel’s right to self-defense, and leading the Israeli government to backtrack in its pursuit of self-defense.

We cannot sit idly by as these cynics take cruel advantage of Israel’s remarkable tolerance in order to undermine Israel’s very right to exist. Unfortunately, these repeated pernicious attacks on Israel’s collective psyche are succeeding in tearing apart Israel’s moral resolve. Im Tirzu has mobilized to meet this growing threat, rapidly organizing large pro-Israel rallies in campuses across the country, drawing thousands of students who had until now remained silent. For the first time in their lives, these students are showing their pride in their country, supporting Israel’s right to defend herself and her citizens from terrorist attacks. The huge turnouts at these events have forced the media to cover them, and the coverage has helped turn back the tide of public opinion towards supporting the ongoing campaign to protect the lives of Israel’s citizens.

As these anti-Israeli protests continue to escalate, Im Tirzu is the main force working within Israeli society to build and maintain the vital public support for the ongoing campaign. We are working hard to organize additional events to help keep the Israeli public strong and supportive of their soldiers and government in their hour of need. But we cannot do it without your help. We need your generous support at this critical juncture in order to ensure that the government and the IDF can continue their vital role of defending the Jewish State.
