The Bay Area artists who have been putting up guerrilla bus shelter posters for the last year scored again on Sunday, with two designs focusing on Israeli war crimes. (like the one pictured above).
A public service message posted near the offices of the San Francisco Chronicle reminds passersby of the deadly Israeli commando attack on the flotilla of international aid ships to Gaza.
“700 Kidnapped, 9 Murdered, and Israel says it is the victim. Sound familiar? Same story since 1984,” reads the text below a huge fist descending on a passenger ship. The poster calls for ending the blockade of Gaza and holding Israel accountable.
"The actions of the United States government are primarily responsible for the impunity with which Israel constantly violates human rights and international law," said art activist W.G. "The U.S. needs to join the rest of the international community in calling for an independent investigation into the attack on the flotilla, and an immediate end to the illegal and deadly blockade of Gaza."
"We are reclaiming public space from corporations and those who collude with them," says artist A.D. "The canvas of the city needs to reflect the ideals of the people and movements working for justice for all of our communities. We can't afford to buy ad space, but we can borrow it."
