Leftist Incitement at Beit Berl College
The exhibit is on display at the Beit Berl Art College's Tel Aviv
gallery, and is named 'Evet' – which is Lieberman's Russian first
name. All of the works on display relate to Lieberman.
… Attorney Adrian Aggasy, representing the Legal Forum [for the
Land of Israel], wrote that the exhibition constitutes harsh
incitement against the foreign minister and oversteps the bounds of
good taste. “Despite the importance of freedom of expression and its
protection,” he said in the letter to the A-G, "it cannot be a
refuge and an excuse for inciters, for those who hurt civil servants
and for those who call for violence through the tools of their art.”

College 'Art' Exhibit Targets Foreign
Minister Lieberman
by Gil Ronen
3/8/2010
The Legal Forum for the Land of Israel asked
the Attorney General Tuesday to launch an investigation against the
organizers of an exhibit devoted to the defamation of Foreign
Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
The exhibit is on display at the Beit Berl Art College's Tel Aviv
gallery, and is named 'Evet' – which is Lieberman's Russian first
name. All of the works on display relate to Lieberman.
One is simply a likeness of a pig. Another shows a devilish
likeness of Lieberman, with a pockmarked face and red-blood eyes. A
third shows the cut-out faces of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu,
Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Minister for Strategic Affairs Moshe
Yaalon, all of whom are depicted as saying “Ich bin ein Lieberman” –
“I am a Lieberman” in German.
There is also a whip that bears Lieberman's name and a video
showing a husband beating his wife, who is happy and who responds
with quotes from Lieberman.
Attorney Adrian Aggasy, representing the Legal Forum, wrote that
the exhibition constitutes harsh incitement against the foreign
minister and oversteps the bounds of good taste. “Despite the
importance of freedom of expression and its protection,” he said in
the letter to the A-G, "it cannot be a refuge and an excuse for
inciters, for those who hurt civil servants and for those who call
for violence through the tools of their art.”
Aggasy and wrote the Minister of Education and demanded an
immediate inquiry with Beit Berl. “One wonders if this is the
character of the education that Beit Berl gives future teachers in
the State of Israel, under the guise of educational-academic
activity,” he commented.
Atty. Aggasy demanded that the minister ask for the removal of
the exhibit and to consider withholding funds from Beit Berl because
of what he called “an un-educational, un-cultured display of evil
hatred.”
