A land without a people for a people without a land department

jaffaIn Hebrew, thanks to Ofer:

An exhibition of Israeli art work that the Knesset acquired to be permanently hung on the Knesset walls is causing a storm. MK Ariyeh Eldad (National Unity) demands that Knesset Chairperson Reuven Rivlin remove from the exhibition a painting which presents an Arab family from Jaffa of the 1930s, as according to him this is a “Nakba picture” which presents the Palestinian narrative..
 In response, the artist Eliyahu Arik Bokobza said yesterday that “my goal is not to create provocation. I do nothing secretly but I am a conceptual artist with a political agenda and my opinion is legitimate. I am trying to bring back a faded memory.”
