A 27-year-old man was arrested Tuesday for using red spray-paint to “campaign” against the prime minister with vicious anti-Semitism on Israel’s Election Day.
Police received a report about the graffiti from a passerby who saw the spray-painting taking place on the Tel Aviv promenade; a police unit that was sent to investigate reportedly arrived in time to catch the suspect in the act.
The young man, a resident of the town of Binyamina, was reportedly seen spray-painting in Hebrew the words, “Bibi is a Nazi.”
