Former Israeli military man caught spraying Polish ghetto

A former Israeli Air Force captain was caught spray-painting pro-Palestinian graffiti on the walls of the Warsaw Ghetto last week.

Israel's Channel 10 has reported the ex-military man turned activist, Yonatan Shapira, was caught on camera spray painting slogans such as "Free all ghettos" and "Free Palestine and Gaza" on the walls of the Jewish ghetto, where Israelis were rounded up by Hitler's soldiers during WWII.

Shapira went to the ghetto, a revered site for Jews, to hoist a Palestinian flag onto the wall before writing the graffiti.

He later said he was proud of his work and the political statement it conveyed.

He added: "Gaza is the ghetto."
