The incident occured last Sunday, and is now seeking the aid of the public to identify him.

Above the ruined poster, two others had been placed, one calling to "globalize the intifada" and another declaring, "If you don't want to be 'kidnapped,' get out of someone else's country."

"What more needs to happen for our leaders to grasp the gravity of the situation?" said CIJA.
