In August 2015 a religious orthodox man attacked the participants of the gay pride parade in Jerusalem, took the life of a sixteen years old and harmed others. The same night, a whole family in Duma, a village in the Northern West Bank, were attacked and killed by a molotov cocktail thrown into their home. These two horrible events led me to roundup a group of friends and activists and react in a form of a public space intervention. A week later, an action of projection and hanging of prints in the public space took place simultaneously in different parts of the country.
The aim was to draw attention to the statements given by public leaders, which were flooding the political discourse with dehumanising content leading, in our view, to these acts of hatred and violence. At Zion Square (Jerusalem), Rabin Square (Tel Aviv), Jabotinsky's House (headquarters of the right wing Likud party) and more, projectors were lit simultaneously, showing statements of politicians alongside a portrait of them covering their eyes. The intervention included a call for personal action, in the shape of personal projection or printing and hanging of posters (which were all available for use, copyright free, on the Facebook event).
