New mural in Tel Aviv shows Bart Simpson as a Hamas terrorist, Netanyahu, Eisenkot chasing him
Palombo explained that his intention to politicize Bart’s character in his new work signifies the indoctrination of minors, jihadist propaganda, and the transmission of violence to new generations.
In Tel Aviv, a mural by Italian artist aleXsandro Palombo has sparked controversy by depicting Bart Simpson as a Hamas terrorist being pursued by Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot. The mural, titled "RUN," appeared on September 29, just a month before Israel's Knesset election and days before the anniversary of October 7.
Simpson, often used as a character in Palombo's work, is portrayed as a child soldier in this contentious piece. Although Netanyahu and Eisenkot represent opposing political sides, the mural places them chasing the same target amidst the political campaign. Palombo, known for integrating pop culture with social commentary, aims to highlight indoctrination, jihadist propaganda, and the transmission of violence to younger generations through this work.
