Israeli radical-left party uses "Mac vs PC" type ad to distinguish itself from other lefty parties running for general election


Hadash, one of Israel's most radical left-winged parties, launched a new viral ad compaign that borrows from Apple's iconic Mac vs PC campaigns, to make a point about the difference between the "old left" in Israel and the "new left".

In the ads, the "old left" are represented by a bald man with big glasses, changing his opinions constantly, and behaving pathetically, while a confident, good looking, young man plays the part of the new, cool, left.

From wikipedia: Hadash supports evacuation of all Israeli settlements, a complete withdrawal by Israel from all territories occupied as a result of the 1967 Six-day War, and the establishment of a Palestinian state in those territories. It also supports the right of return or compensation for Palestinian refugees.[3] In addition to issues of peace and security, Hadash is also known for being active on social and environmental issues. [4] Hadash defines itself as a non-Zionist party, originally in keeping with Marxist opposition to nationalism. It calls for recognition of Palestinian Arabs as a national minority within Israel.

All of the ads from the Hadash campaign can be seen here.

The original Mac vs PC ads can be seen here.
