We've mentioned OneVoice, the foreign-funded, supposedly moderate organization that is actively campaigning to defeat Netanyahu in the upcoming elections.

Here is the logo of a campaign that was started in October by OneVoice Palestine called The Land Is Ours:



Was the keffiyehed man intentionally drawn to resemble the entire British Mandate of Palestine - meaning that is OneVoice advocating the destruction of Israel?

Normally I would discount this sort of theory. However, when you watch the video that accompanies it, twice in the first three seconds of  the introduction the entire Palestine map part of the drawing flashes (with thunder), to draw attention to it. Nothing else is illuminated by this "lightning."



Given how much importance Arabs attach to symbolism, this seems to be no coincidence. (Remember, Yassir Arafat used to arrange his keffiyeh to resemble a map of British Mandate Palestine.)

While I doubt that the funders of OneVoice want to get that message across, the Arab producers of this film ensure that the Arab viewers get the real message loud and clear.

OneVoice Palestine also has had as one of its honorary board members Sheikh Taysir Tamimi. At the time he was appointed, around 2005,  they defended their choice of having him, saying that his intolerant remarks were over a decade old. Since then, Tamimi has engaged in regular incitement, often predicting that Jews would destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque or massacre worshipers, in order to start a religious war. Tamimi also managed to upset, of all people, the Pope with his antics.

UPDATE: A number of readers point out that the image is reworked from a famous Soviet anti-Nazi propaganda poster, "Motherland Calls":

It clearly is, but I still maintain that the decision as to what portion of the body to colorize in the otherwise monochromatic poster was to mimic the map of the British Mandate.
