Yoram E. Shamir to me show details 12:34 PM (3 hours ago) Dan, This is a political poster before elections. The publisher is: The Party of United Labor- Workers of Zion. Do you see the big Hebrew letter? It is Taf !!! the same letter used in the poster "In one hand he is doing his work" (the tractor). Now we know who is the publisher of that poster:The Party of United Labor etc. Do you prefer to write the name of the party in Hebrew? Here it is: Ahdut Haavoda –Poaley Zion Party ( the international press use the Hebrew nams of the Likud or Kadima, but use translated name for Haavoda - Labor). Yoram
Yoram E. Shamir to me show details 10:28 AM (2 hours ago) This is a political poster in an election. The title: In one hand he is doing his work. The other holds the sword. Publisher: the political party is presented here by the Hebrew letter Taf [T] and not by the full name of the party. In the ballots each party is represented by a letter in the alpha bet. Dan, I'll try to find out what party is Taf.
