NBC4: Largest poster in the world features 173 Israeli hostages

Almost Heaven

Well-known
NBC4’s Conan Nolan explains: “For many, it is a purely antisemitic act, the effort that so many people take to rip down images of Israeli civilians who were taken hostage by Hamas terrorists on October 7th. But the Jewish hostages have not been forgotten; not in Israel, not here.”

The side of the Apple Entertainment Building in Culver City displays a canvas that can’t be missed and can’t be vandalized of the 173 kidnapped hostages, remembered in vinyl images ten time the size of the posters that had been placed on power poles and store windows and ripped down.

This is a message that has been amplified, “BRING THEM HOME.”

Craig Dershowitz, CEO of the LA-based nonprofit Artists 4 Israel, said: “If you look behind me, it’s the biggest picture on the wall. We want the hostages returned. And secondary to that, we dare to you try to take this down. You will not stop us and you will not stop the message from being spread.”

“It is important to make these buildings that have a negative connotation, to have something positive to them,” says an artist participating in this program.

The Culver City project was done with help from the Combat Antisemitism movement. Part of the exhibit includes a number of street-level mirrors to engage the passive passersby.
