RT.com has reached out to Ichilov Hospital and Makor Rishon for comment.
The striking image sparked an angry reaction on social media. Jewish Voice for Peace shared a news article about the ad along with the message: “Give peace a chance Israel.”
Pro-Palestinian activists took a dimmer view of the maternity ward’s decision and offered a more cutting analysis. Author Ali Abunimah shared the image in a tweet, saying: “They teach their children hate, domination and apartheid from before they’re even born.”

Such is the abuse inflicted on Jewish mothers by the cruelest of ideologies of political Zionism.
