New Yorkers are used to aggressive advertising. Banners for breast implants. Billboards for condoms. But a federal judges ruling has opened the door for far more controversial posters on buses and subways across the city.
Killing Jews is Worship that draws us close to Allah, reads one such ad next to the image of a young man in a checkered headscarf. Thats His Jihad. Whats yours?
The poster is at the center of heated legal debate over public safety and free speech. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge John Koeltl ruled that New Yorks Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) cannot stop the controversial ad from running on scores of subway cars and buses.
The MTA has argued that the ad could incite violence against Jews, but Koeltl rejected that idea.

(1,967 posts)Why is there no question in the Jewish community on Jews who terrorize and emotionally blackmail other Jews? Yes she is a Netanyahu supporter.
This crowd is also fond of calling other jews self-hating antisemites.

(10,164 posts)While any sane person despises terrorist violence, there could hardly be a worse way of combating it than inflammatory crap like this. Should Hamas respond with a photoshopped image of the Dachau gate with "arbeit macht frei" replaced with Hebrew lettering and Palestinians inside? This is just so fucking stupid...
Koeltl's ruling is spectacularly wrong-headed.
