Let them know our concerns
April 27, 2015 2:16 am

An email i sent them: Dear Pamela, I really like the ad and the motives behind it. I think it is smart and exposes Islam’s true colors. The message you are trying to bring out is that Arab terrorists are not a minority, rather they are common and fully backed by the governments and media in Arab countries. Having said that, I would like to suggest a little tweak to the ad. Instead of the last line reading”what’s your jihad?”, what’s about it it read something like “were not as peace-seeking?/loving as we’d have you think!” This, or a similar… Read more »

What to Do and What is Being Done
April 26, 2015 9:28 pm

The MTA is going to be deciding if they are going to stop all political ads – just so they can have a policy in place that the courts cannot touch. What we can do is contact the MTA and tell them we are MTA costumers and we are concerned about our safety and we appreciate how they are protecting us by doing all they can to avoid posting Pamela Geller’s ads. It is easy to leave a message on the Metropolitan Transit Authority page on facebook. Or I guess you could call or write. There are now powerful people… Read more »

David Yerushalmi is working on the assumption that the public reaction will be to recoil in horror. I’m afraid that he’s overlooking a psychological principle ssuccessfully time-tested by the Obama Administration and the Clinton Foundation: Repeated exposure to scandalous civil violations has an immunizing rather than sensitizing effect. Meaning, over time, the public’s reaction changes from outrage to acceptance.
In this case, when transports become a reality the public will have been desensitized. That’s why our enemies support the motion.

if it goes up c'v spray paint the ad
April 26, 2015 2:24 am

I think the idea of #28 is right. Lets boycott the MTA for one day and get massive media on it.

believe
April 25, 2015 11:25 pm

I believe that some great people will find a way to override this. This is worse than absurd.

hmm… i’m a young women in my early 20’s riding the subway to and from work.
I’m scared of wrong reactions to this kind of advertisement.

not good!
April 25, 2015 7:41 pm

it shouldn’t say ‘killing jews’ it should say KILLING ALL OF YOU”

Somebody has to speak to this guy
April 24, 2015 4:49 pm

The lawyer is a Lubavitch guy living in ch David Yerushalmi someone has to speak to him.

GET IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 24, 2015 9:19 am

Who’s looking at small little letters (“saying what’s your jihad?”) on a speeding bus all they see is KILL JEWS!!! YOU ARE ENDANGERING THE LIVE OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF JEWS!!! GET RID OF THE AD!!!

all u need is one Arab teen to c this ad daily...
April 24, 2015 8:57 am

One Arab teen who has nothing to do with this life, maybe even soul searching and looking for a way to connect to “his god” Allah, to go and murder 5 jews!!! Forget about the suicidal ones!!!!

Let's try this instead
April 24, 2015 8:27 am

The so called Jews are known for being anti everything that’s not considered Jewish. He should take that sign and hold it up in Afghanistan

A better idea
April 24, 2015 8:03 am

Put all billboards to observe Sheva Mitzvos Bnai Noach.
On the Mitzvah of No Murder you can emphasize Hamas Killing anyone is violating G-D’s commandment.

Though well meaning it is counter productive to place these ads. It is plausible that these ads will encourage the hidden anti semites to join ISIS or worse. We don’t have presently in the city Muslim Jewish acts of violence so why put these up now?????

y isn’t everyone just posting comments like I’m doing now
Start actually doing something because comments don’t help

Seriously people who have problems do not interpret the correct message!!
April 24, 2015 12:39 am

In writing an article we are taught to use a sentence that will catch the readers attention but in Chassidus we learn to use positive speech To leave a true impact of us overcoming evil. It takes our educators longer to catch up to our sages in educating the world according to torah life or a righteous life.

Not Jews but infidels
April 23, 2015 11:45 pm

All they have to do is change the word Jews for infidels or U.S. Infidels that would make the right point

This is absurd
April 23, 2015 10:46 pm

If there was a sign about killing any other race or religion, it would never be allowed

BS”D these negative comments are exactly the reason why terrorists are gaining the upper hand-the ads speak the truth, why fear the terrorists and these commentators sit in their cozy arm chairs at home and decry when a Jewish leader gives in to the world wide pressure and withholding financial aid blackmail and returns territory Chas v Sholem and besmirch him and say ” be strong, don’t give in to the terrorists demands “

Not a good ending!!
April 23, 2015 9:46 pm

The end phrase “that’s his jihad what is yours’ is not productive it incites a negative reaction. As opposed to not writing it where by the reader can take the message as is and be left with food for thought on what jihad means in the Arab world and how it relates to Jew hatred.

I don't understand
April 23, 2015 9:13 pm

Why are the commenters saying this is anti-Semitic?! The ad is exposing islam for what it is, anti-Semitic.

Just Saying...

why dont we see if we can put up signs Bring peace to the world, death to the arabs!!

April 23, 2015 7:43 pm

The ad is misleading and incorrect. It should read: “The MURDER of Jews…” KIlling Jews is the wrong language. Murder is the ‘unwarranted taking of human life,” but one can kill a cow, not ‘Murder’ it. This ad assaults the English language and basic intelligence. Where did Mohammed say Moslems should wantonly murder Jews. What is their source? Let them use the word ‘Murder’ and see if it passes. Let ‘Chabad’ post a powerful ad showing how ‘The 7 Noahide Laws,’ which predates Islam by thousands of years, says murder of anyone is punishable by death and is a great… Read more »

A sad day

April 23, 2015 5:19 pm

I think all jews should boycott the MTA for a day. one day is all you need to get the message across.

PEOPLE WONT GET IT
April 23, 2015 4:54 pm

I didn’t when I first read it. Thank you very much, #7. Looks ligit like an anti-semetic sign, before you read the article.

this will start a conversation
April 23, 2015 4:40 pm

the media wants us to ignore this stuff so getting it out on the streets may be a good thing.

Unfortunately, the irony and sarcasm may be lost with small minded people …

have they tested the ad with people who english is not thier first language ?

this is too crazy
April 23, 2015 4:08 pm

i cant handle this. the world has gone mad

to #4, 11, 15, and 17
April 23, 2015 3:57 pm

This ad is against Islam, not for it. If you’d read the article you’d notice that the Jews are the ones fighting to put this ad up, not take it down! It’s not anti-semitic, it’s anti-Islam.
But your confusion is understood – the ad does seem like it’s coming from muslims trying to get more people to join their cause, that’s why they are dangerous although there were good intentions behind it.

so who is doing what about this??
April 23, 2015 3:23 pm

Emergency!!!

This is disturbing
April 23, 2015 2:47 pm

Pls don’t post the pic of the ad on your website

to #7
April 23, 2015 2:43 pm

Why such a low opinion of others?

THIS AD LOOKS LIKE AN INVITATION FOR ISLAMIC TERROR !!!!!!
April 23, 2015 2:28 pm

Why on earth would a a yid want it on a bus all over town ??????
Kavana is nice, but take another advertising company !!!!

Time to call The Shpy, the YH seems to be at it again!
April 23, 2015 1:20 pm

I’m a Yid with a Masters degree, and I still find this message easily misconstrued, especially “What’s your jihad?”

As if challenging people to “get with it” and “get a jihad,” like it’s the latest trend – and if you don’t have a jihad, there’s something wrong with you 🙁

Also the tone of the article connotes that the organization aspiring to place these ads on the buses seems so driven by and eager to get acknowledgement and approval (validity) from the government. Their “victory” celebration seems a little “beheimah” and Howard Dean-ish.

source of the issue.
April 23, 2015 12:56 pm

This ad is dangerous because you assume the average person seeing it is an intelligent, thinking person. Unfortunately, that is not the case and so it can be literally interpreted by the average mind which is: kill jews r’l.

Beware
April 23, 2015 12:51 pm

America is starting to look like Europe in the years preceding the Holocaust!!! If we don’t fight this now we are in big trouble.

48 yr in the hood
April 23, 2015 12:42 pm

i think the add is wrong
” al teftac pea “

antisemitic
April 23, 2015 12:37 pm

we need to wake up and smell the funeral roses this is just like the what happened prior to ww11 we need to all stop and condemn this with all our might!!!!!!

Yes and No
April 23, 2015 12:22 pm

Yes, it does blatantly expose anti-semitism – to thinking people who mean well but are somewhat ignorant.
However, to the low-life, low-intellect contingent who are not on the side of good and get excited about violence and terrorism it may be an incitement.

TV time
April 23, 2015 12:10 pm

This ad will surely cause discussion on TV, good or bad? CNN versus FOX.

April 23, 2015 12:04 pm

the ad is what it is, we Jews should do our job, spread goodness and kindness, learn Torah,do Mitzvos to bring Moshiach

knock knock, anybody home
April 23, 2015 12:01 pm

If this was an add promoting hatred against the muslim community can you just imagine the rioting that would be going on right niw?
But thw Jews…..oh the Jews, just a bunch of shepsalach whom you dont hear a peep from. And this is how r”l we lost 6million

what the !@#$%^&
April 23, 2015 11:56 am

why the —– would they let these stupid idiots to do this.

#1and #2 are 100% right
April 23, 2015 11:28 am

Anyone that knows the mentality of the average young new yorker would never permit a sign like that to go up.

This ad is dangerous
April 23, 2015 11:22 am

This will just add fuel to the fire. It is a terrible add and will achieve the opposite of its intention

silly
April 23, 2015 11:02 am

Her agenda is noble, but her ad backfired because most people are too unsophisticated to understand her point.

Couldn't agree more with # 1&2
April 23, 2015 10:57 am

What are they crazy. Do they live in lala land. This add could be very dangerous. It sounds like an add encouraging to join ISIS and ch”v to kill..

HORRIBLE FOR THE JEW S AND ISRAEL
April 23, 2015 10:56 am

This Ad is full of incitement and looking to stir up hatred!

Terrible thing for all sides.

SAD

If I were recruiting for ISIS – I would use this ad.

THIS AD IS DANGEROUS
April 23, 2015 9:59 am

I can see how this AD will incite terrorism.
A simple person who does not get the sarcasm will feel he has to upgrade his Jihad.
I can relate to his thought process… “Hamas has spoken. And this good looking terrorist has risen to the cause. Its time for me to join ISIS.”
No one ever told him the killing Jews is bad. And here it says – killing Jews is good. “No wonder so many people do it. I’m a good guy – I better start killing Jews.”
