Yellow badges Sold in an Auction in Israel

Reuven Weiss wrote today on ynetnews an article about two yellow badges that were sold Sunday at the "Ben Ami Anders" Auction House in Tel Aviv for $240. I heard a few times about people who bought Yellow badges abroad, but this is the first time I read about the termination of such a transaction in Israel, without objection of the Jewish audience - and this is what I call news…

This time a Government with Shinuy

Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of pale green Stars of David inside the Hebrew letter Shin on an election sticker with the words: “This time a Government with Shinuy”.

I live in Israel

JNF sticker Star of DavidHaifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of a JNF sticker with the slogan: “I live in Israel -Why Don’t You?” and the sticker is part of his collection.
