Political rivalries lead different factions to either peel off posters of other groups, or paste theirs over them. Sheikh Ahmad Yassin's posters were all over Ramallah walls after Israel assassinated him on 22 March 2004. In some cases, they were pasted over Arafat's image, in others, Arafat's posters were pasted over Yassin's image. Yassin co-founded Hamas.
