Israelis fight fire with fire over Apartheid Week
By Cnaan Liphshiz

Inspired by a controversial "Israeli Apartheid Week" poster, two local artists released a spoof they dubbed "Hypocrisy Week."

The original Canadian poster was an advertisement for an annual series of anti-Israel events held on campuses around the world.

It shows a gunship bearing the word "Israel" firing at a kaffiyeh-clad boy holding a teddy bear.

The poster was banned from two Ottawa universities over complaints that it displayed Israelis as child-killers.

The spoof shows the same boy being used as a shield by militants launching rockets at Israel, while journalists film the boy.

1. Will this poster be "allowed" at Canadian universities?
I hope so the silencing of one side while allowing the other free reign speaks louder than any poster
