Selene Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I have a really bad feeling about this...https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDIXkl4WEAAGkIh.jpg:largeThe MTA has argued that the ad could incite violence against Jews, but Koeltl rejected that idea.MTA officials “underestimate the tolerant quality of New Yorkers and overestimate the potential impact of these fleeting advertisements,” he ruled. “Moreover, there is no evidence that seeing one of these advertisements on the back of a bus would be sufficient to trigger a violent reaction. Therefore, these ads — offensive as they may be — arestill entitled to First Amendment protection.”Making the case all the stranger is that the posters are not the work of an Islamist group, but rather a pro-Israel organization.I would seriously think about getting on any bus or subway car with those ads.http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/04/22/killing-jews-is-worship-posters-will-soon-appear-on-nyc-subways-and-buses/?tid=hp_mmA...

Brant Gaede Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Major stupid sanction of jihad per se. There goes your moral force. Yes, some Jews could be killed. What are these people thinking? There's nothing more dangerous than smart Jews with crappy ideas. They tend to live in imagined realities. Look what Karl Marx cooked up. If it wasn't for the US, Israel would have spun completely and destructively out of control decades ago with all the sheer internal political idiocies. That's brains. The US problem is lack of brains. There seems to be a dynamic balance going on between us with Israel too quick when quick isn't best--but sometimes it is--and the US too slow when slow isn't best, but sometimes it is. Most dangerous now is US-Israel antagonism so we aren't talking to each other enough, so who knows how to chose fast or slow? All that's left is inertia.Because of this success, the Middle East is at peace--well, Israel is still in one piece. Check its status in the morning.--Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selene Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 This is from the ABA Journal:The ad was intended to parody an earlier ad campaign by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights group, which portrayed jihad as a nonviolent struggle.Transit officials feared the “killing Jews” ad would not be recognized as parody. The same ad had run in San Francisco and Chicago without triggering violence.Apparently, the ad did not trigger what I fear in either of those cities.http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/atirical_killing_jews_ad_cant_be_banned_from_new_york_mass_transit_judge_ru/?utm_source=maestro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily_email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also believe that NY City is a particular center of Jihadi-Islamo-Fascist radicalism. This is putting a bulls eye on mass transit buses and train cars and is an unnecessary poke in the eye of very psychotic folks.A... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 This decision has real legs and apparently the MTA is considering a really stupid, defensive and reactionary policy to ban all "political advertising!"In other words, we are bureaucrats and we make the worst possible decisions.As AP reports:NEW YORK - (AP) -- All advertisements of a political nature will be banned on New York City buses under a plan to be voted on next week, a lawyer for a public transportation authority told a federal judge Friday after he ordered the agency to display a pro-Israel advocacy group's political ad.The response:“The notion that the MTA can moot a constitutional violation by changing its policy after the fact and wishing away the violation is absurd,” Yerushalmi said.He also pointed out that his group is seeking damages for alleged violations that already occurred.http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/nyc_transit_agency_may_ban_all_political_ads_to_avoid_complying_with_federa/?utm_source=maestro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily_emailA...
