poster. These are the Knesset members who took part in the terrible act - against the Reparations Agreement between Israel and West Germany, 1952 - rare!
The poster contains a long list of all MKs who supported the reparations agreement.

The "Reparations Agreement" between Israel and the Federal Republic of Germany was signed on September 10, 1952. According to the Agreement, West Germany was to pay Israel for the costs of "resettling so great a number of uprooted and destitute Jewish refugees" after the war, and to compensate individual Jews, via the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, for losses in Jewish livelihood and property resulting from Nazi persecution.
Public debate was among the fiercest in Israeli history. Opposition to the agreement came from both the right (Herut and the General Zionists) and the left (Mapam) of the political spectrum; both sides argued that accepting reparation payments was the equivalent of forgiving the Nazis for their crimes.
