Hakadhā tanāda isrā'iīl... bi-l-salām. Paz, segun el concepto Israéli! First edition of this anti-Israeli pamphlet, especially concerned with the bombing of Suez in June 1967, after Egypt's closure of the Strait of Tiran. It aimed to provide "a photographic record of the monstrous deeds of a government that claims to be searching for peace". After this attack, Israel gained control of the Sinai Peninsula, Golan Heights, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza strip. After showing several photos of Suez circa 1970, with residential houses and ships crossing the Canal, it proceeds to illustrate the "destruction and devastation" caused by Israel. Images of ruined areas and buildings, such as the dry dock, Port Tawfik, Suez railway station, and the Red Crescent hospital, are accompanied by quotes and captions reporting statements by Israeli politicians claiming to have "peaceful intentions", "without aggression and subversion".
