‘Killing Jews is Worship’ posters will soon appear on NYC subways and buses

[joeybee12]

New Yorkers are used to aggressive advertising. Banners for breast implants. Billboards for condoms. But a federal judge’s 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. “That’s His Jihad. What’s 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 York’s 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. Sick!

No no , we need more intelligence from the so called law of this land!

2. Pam Geller is a jewish person

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.

3. Anti-Muslim hate speech is free speech. Interesting.

This is just going to incite the mindless haters of more than one type.

4. Might be worth a trip to New York just to vandalize them.

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.

5. Asshole Judge and AFDI inciters should be forced to walk the streets with these posters

See if it changes their minds at all.
