    Machine translation of the referenced site:

    Images of AT5 show that, among other things, a canvas on the facade of the building, with the text ‘End the genocide now’, is covered. The canvas had been there for a long time, and had been hung by the relief organization itself.

    Blue and white paint is likely chosen to express support for Israel.
