(10.06.12)
The Truth Will Set You Free!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There Should Be A National Commity in the U.S.A. To Plaster These Ad's In Every Major City, Dearborn, Mi Would Be A Start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sometimes one is dead wrong! This isn't going to end well.
4. It's freedom of speech and should be allowed
Gunnar ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (10.06.12)
BUT.......what will be really interesting is if Washington D.C./New York City would allow all ads bashing religion. I want to see signs that say "GOD DOESN'T EXIST - WHY WON'T YOU CHRISTIANS GET THAT" and "WE STEM FROM APES - EVOLUTION IS CORRECT, CREATION WRONG. PERIOD!" I'm waiting, Richard Dawkins

I don't think this is bashing a religion, just religious fanatics. It should be legal to bash all religious fanatics, but not moderate religion.
6. Looking forward to the
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.06.12)
'Jews killed Jesus' adverts next Easter. Or even adverts questioning Israel's right to exist in it's current form. The far right whackjobs and the Haredi are the biggest threat to my people, even bigger than Al Qaeda
7. Problematic advertisment
Rotem ,   Israel   (10.06.12)
It puts Israel in one stand against Islam, like there a 2-side war between the two groups. This focuses Israelies as targets by some Muslem politicians and only makes things worse. Well America - reality is NOT a western film of Hollywood. There are other sides for the story and Israel doesn't and never tried to defeat Islam. It t is just want to be exist without any threat of terorists, rather if they are muslem or christian. The threats over Israel are not the problem but the symptom to a bigger world-wide social problems, which are not necessarily connected to Israel. As for Islam - I'm quite convinced that Islam will defeat itself at some point, but this may take several generations.
8. She has courage
Madeleine ,   Israel   (10.06.12)
Well kol hakavod to this girl, she has more guts than most politicians. I'd love to see these ads go up on buses and in the subway stations in London. Britain's too politically correct and too scared of its Moslems.
9. A good test of the first amendment
Ben Ya'acov ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (10.06.12)
We all know that Jews and Muslims both have a long history of civilisation. It is their extremist military factions - the jihadists and the Zionist occupiers of Palestine - that are the savages. But I am not so sure that the US media and justiciary would be so sanguine if the last two lines were replaced by: " Support Palestine Defeat the Zionist Occupier " If they are so serious about the 1st amendment maybe the "American Freedom Defense Initiative" could test this out?
10. The real Occupiers are the "Pals!"
Benny ,   Iran   (10.06.12)
GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT. THE ARABS ARE THE OCCUPIERS. THEY HAVE BEEN FLEEING THEIR RAVAGED WILD COUNTRIES TO SEEK A BETTER LIFE IN ISRAEL. AND WHILE THEY SNEAKED IN, LIKE THEY DO DAILY FROM DARFUR, ETC., THEY NEVER FAIL TO BITE THE HANDS THAT FEED THEM!
11. #4 Gunnar make an effort in understanding what is being
Mike ,   Israel   (10.06.12)
said before you add you stupid comment. The add in no way attacks or bashes religion it simply states defeat Jhad by supporting the civilized man which is Israel. Jhad for you information means "holy war" so have a meat ball and stay off the key board dummy

Some people do seem to stem from apes. I don't believe in the tooth fairy but I don't get all bent out of shape over it if someone else does. I guess that makes me different than a lot of atheists. People preach diversity and then complain when others don't agree with everything they do. They only want diversity that agrees with them. Strange world.
13. In D.C. LMAO
Clearence M. ,   Wash. D.C.   (10.07.12)

14. it would be of much more benefit to
Barney ,   USA   (10.07.12)
rid the country of jihadists than to put up advertisements to incite them and give them "evidence" of "conspiracy" against the honor and dignity of islam. kick out the ones here and don't let anymore in.
15. Well, Nazis were allowed to march through Skokie years ago.
nibor ,   israel   (10.07.12)
Finally freedom of speech works for Jews too.
16. To: Nibor at No. 15
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.08.12)
Yes, but that ended up backfiring terribly. If you recall, the reason the American Nazi Party ("ANP") chose Skokie, is because Skokie was home to a very large population of Jewish Holocaust survivors. Well, the ANP was represented by none other than the American Civil Liberties Union. That championing of rights cost the ACLU approximately $81 million dollars in annual contributions and a sharp drop in membership and support by the Jewish community. I am very pleased to report that the ACLU has never recovered.
