Artists4Israel is a pro-Israel advocacy nonprofit that uses street art to educate the public about Israel. The 2015 opening said its mural project with graffiti artist Cope2 aimed to draw attention to "the targeting of Israeli civilians by terrorists groups based in Hamas-controlled Gaza." Today the opening is reduced to naming the organization and its director, with the word terror surviving once in the body. A reader arriving now does not learn that the organization's own stated purpose included highlighting terrorist targeting of Israeli civilians from Gaza.
