Last year's event planners described the mission: "On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Israel's glorious victory in the 6 day war; To celebrate the ongoing screwing of the Palestinians by the occupation army and Israel's governments; And in worship of the generals who have shown us over and over that theirs is the biggest; We shall hold a march to salute and worship the national erection of the Zionist state."
On Friday, May 9 at about 3 pm a few dozen people walked a giant pink effigy around the area to the sound of beating drums and anti-Occupation slogans. They lasted for a few minutes, but then, according to their report in Indymedia:
"The cowardly police waited until the erection had separated momentarily from the crowd, attacked it violently and tried to dismount it from the bike trailer on which it was erected."
The scuffle between the police and protesters wound up with two arrests and one circumcision.
It was one of the best-attended leftist rallies I have seen in Tel Aviv. However, I heard that at last year's demonstration the apparatus squirted blue and white Zionist fluid, which was lacking this year.

Hey - damn, I wish I could've made it to the penis display.
Btw, I'm unlocked and back online, though not necessarily planning on being prolific. Your site sure has had a makeover since last I've been on. Mazal Tov.
