Anshel, I agree with your post, however, I must find fault with one small item,well, maybe not so small. You said, "think only about how the air travel changed around the globe thanks to the "Savage" Jihad." Don't you think we should first "THINK" about the thousands of lives that have been lost by jihad? What about the millions who live in fear, poverty, anxiety, and who are loosing their health do to the actions of Islamic terrorists? Yes, I said "Islamic." We all know who the jihadists are. I support this poster and think it should be posted throughout the world. And, even harsher posters that spell out ISLAM. It is time the world got their proverbial head out of their proverbial asses and get rid of this trash.
32. The CNN interview
Ezra ,   San Diego USA   (09.25.12)
I saw your interview on CNN regarding putting up pro-Israel advertisements in New York subway. There are moments in U.S. history when someone comes forth bringing a message that benefits everyone's freedom, and that moment is now, coming from you. Your contribution is nothing short of monumental. I also saw how CNN cut the interview short, showing their true colors; very ugly. Thank you for standing up for Israel, freedom, and not bending to Jihad. May Hashem Bless You and Guard You, and Always Give You Strength! We are with You!
33. The ad is crude and off message
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (09.26.12)
This does not help Israel. This ad does not convey what is going and just fuels the flame. Whomever made this ad is a moron.
34. #15, No, barbarian...
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (09.26.12)
Nothing has changed. A few courageous people are finally finding their voices about the 'Religion of Peace.'. Surely, when an ad blaspheming Christianity appears, or when the Serrano piece of 'art' with the image of Christ submerged in urine reappears at a museum in New York tomorrow, or when Ahmadinejad spews his idiotic drivel at the UN once again tomorrow (on Yom Kippur), you will find the 1st Amendment necessary and proper. You're a lefty hypocrite. YOU make the most compelling and loudest argument for the suspension of that amendment.

from ll your posts here, your free speech about jews and judaism are full of hate and demeaning. maybe you should curtail your free speech as well?
36. Silly Billboards Accomplish Little
World Citizen ,   the world   (09.26.12)
The ads are for the Jewish population of NYC. In effect they are "preaching to the choir". Making the comfort and safety-loving Jewish NYC citizen feel just guilty enough to make a donation to an Israeli cause. That's all there is to it. Everyone else is sophisticated enough to know propaganda when they see it.

Josh ,   Atlanta, GA   (09.25.12)
Agreed, untrammeled freedom of speech is an outdated idea for a bygone time. So let's start policing speech in the mosques first. I would like a transcript of every Friday sermon in English, independently verified by a non-Muslim Arabic speaker, and I will decide what speech is acceptable and what is not. When something is spoken that offends me, I will censor it and determine a punishment for the imam and his congregation.
38. I'm a Muslim and...
Persian CAT   (09.26.12)
I'm fine the the ad. The words "Israel" and "Savages" go together very well.

Iit's news to me, when did Jihad become a peaceful action ? Apartheid, Racism/Facism, Insults, et al, I am glad you brought up the subject, that is so prevalent in the Muslim world, where it is referred to as Dhimmitude, much more restrictive than your alleged Israeli Apartheid, you need some enlightenment as to what is going on in your little world or better yet, here are some instant facts for your perusal Shall we use the Muslim examples of equal rights? Copts persecuted in Egypt, their Churches burned, while they are inside praying ? Christians afraid to go to Church in Iraq ? Last Synagogue in Cairo has just been closed ! Turks gassing and incinerating Kurds in Iraq ? Syrians gassing their own people ? Car bombings in Iraq & Afghanistan ? Blowing up Mosques while people of other sects are at prayer ? Using Minarets for sniper vantage points ? Or should we just look at how Dhimmi's are treated, and the rules and regulations that govern them Your choice, pick em !! Do yourself a favor, Google “DHIMMITUDE” before you condemn the actions of others, your own are pretty damn vile “MUSLIM DHIMMITUDE” IS “APARTHEID” For well over a millennium, across three continents - Asia, Africa,and Europe - non-Muslims have experienced jihad war ideology, and its ugly corollary institution, Dhimmitude. Today, the debate among Muslim scholars regarding the theological "correctness" of "lesser" versus "greater" jihad are meaningless to the millions of non-Muslim victims- Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, and Buddhists
40. aline @4, I think you meant "holy", not "joly".

41. Every time I hear this peatten up cliche
leo ,   usa   (09.26.12)
that "majority of Muslims are not extremists" I try to remind everyone that majority of Germans weren't Nazi either.

The only thing that is a shame is that you feel that killing babies, beheading innocent people, bombing shoppers in malls and the rest of the terrorism in the world in the name of Jihad is not savage. The idea that Jihad is anything but an ideal to kill and subjugate is just a lie. Blind and Handicapped are exempt from Jihad, so it is all about physical actions, AKA war on non-believers. If you are not a barbaric violent person yourself, you should be for the posters, not against. Welcome to the planet earth where humanity exists.
43. The Poster Makes One Major Mistake
Daniel ,   Tel Aviv   (09.26.12)
I recognize that the advertisement is sponsored by a pro-Israel group, but the ad is making one grave error. The ad should have left off any reference to Israel and been more about ideologies. This is not Israel vs Jihad. It is the West and civilization as we know it vs. Jihad and 7th Century beliefs. Israel may be the bulwark against such beliefs within the middleeast but that has not prevented Jihadist elements from attacking in the West. It is not Islamaphobia to be anti-extremist as some here would suggest. The time has come for the West to realize that 9/11 and 7/7 are lauded and celebrated by Jihadists and the only way to defeat this abhorrent behaviour is to fight against it and work to value Western beliefs. These beliefs include freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It is time for moderates of all faiths to stand against fundamentalist extremism, not just radical Islam but also Christianity and Judaism. Islam may be fighting Jihad but radical Christians and Jews are also attacking their own governments pushing their extremist view points. It is time for moderates who are the majority to take control and respond.
44. Stupid pointless ads ... (I am pro-Israel anti-Jihad)
Jake ,   USA   (09.25.12)
These ads don't counter the anti-israel argument... That Israel is illegitimate and thus Jihad is justified against her. The ads should drive home several points: 1. Israel is the nation state of the Jewish people, born through the self-determination of the ancient Jewish people, a right afforded to the Jews by international law. 2. Israel is situated on ancient Israelite land which was never relinquished by the descendants of the Israelite nation. Those descendants have now reclaimed the land and deserve to keep it by every moral, logical, and legal standard. 3. Israel was occupied and renamed Palestina by the Romans. The term Palestine never at any time referred to a nation, but rather a region. The "nation of Palestine" is a psyop of epic proportions. etc etc etc
45. Response to #23
John R ,   NYC USA   (09.26.12)
There is no question of Geller's intent to ferment hate and that her poster is hate speech. Her website "Atlas Shrugged" inspired Anders Breivik, by his own admission, to kill 72 people, almost all of them children with a machine gun. I find the Arab press depiction of Jews no less deplorable but you are apparently guilty of exactly what you accuse #15 of . You are guilty of a double standard and of being a hypocrite. It almost makes me wonder if #20 was referring to Geller or you.
