A large Bayit Yehudi campaign poster showing the three party leaders, Naftali Bennett, Uri Ariel and Ayelet Shaked did not find favor in the eyes of all who viewed it. While Bennett’s photo was partially compromised, Shaked’s face was torn off.
It is entirely possible that the guilty party was not targeting Shaked for her affiliation with the dati leumi party, but objected to the face of a woman, often targeted in ads around the capital.
In her response Shaked said “I hope the Jerusalem elections will portray Jerusalem in a light of tolerance and respect.” She added the party has tens of women on lists competing for slots in municipal elections around the country and she was sorrowed by the actions of someone in the capital who disapproves.

this is politics in Israel. What is not reported is the fighting between the children and even some adults who put up signs every where.
Seems that putting up signs is seen as a religious obligation but tearing down signs is seen as blasphemy, at least amongst the people who put them up (with out permission)!
