The ad for a Swiss national day party planned for Aug. 1 by the extremist group GNC shows a doll wearing a skullcap and an Israeli flag with an arrow in its forehead, evoking the legend of William Tell, with the slogan, “Save Switzerland: Shoot Straight!” in French.

A GNC (Genève Non Conforme) member said the ad was directed against the Israeli government, not Jews. Jewish groups say they are considering a lawsuit.
