Admin Notes
Literally: Eye job! Meaning: Deception! (The word “avodah” in Hebrew means both job/work and is the name of the Israeli Labor Party. In this poster, Arafat is holding up a mask with the face of Shimon Peres on it. It is unclear to me what the specific meaning of this is, but the pun indicates the creator of the poster is attacking the Labor Party for perhaps being too close to the PLO)
