An explosive ad about Israel is now igniting a firestorm of controversy.
The display shows shrinking Palestinian territory in Israel over the years and refers to 4.7 million Palestinians there as refugees.
The ads are appearing in 50 Metro-North stations.
At the train station in White Plains, the politically-charged ad was raising eyebrows.
“That’s quite amazing if you ask me,” one man told CBS 2′s Scott Rapoport.
Some Jewish leaders said they were concerned.
As a lawyer versed in publication law and the constitutions of the Unated States and New York, this is legal. Will we see it published in BP? Unlikly.
Palestinian land. Palease! There are plenty of lands that are exclusively Arab. They repeatedly attacked a sovereign nation. they are lucky that they have what they have.
I was worried that the Jewish presence was moving the other way. Thank G-d someone can show it to us in a brighter way!
i love this ad.
At the rate we are going in a few years it will be all Jewish:)
Looks true to me.
Now you know what Hussein Obama means when he says:
GO GREEN.
Soooooo misleading! The sole reason that Palistinians have a loss of land is that they never agreed to the UN mandate so, THEY WENT TO WAR WITH ISRAEL AND LOST IT!
Not sure where they got they information for the 2010 map
The misleading part of that is that before 1967, the West Bank was part of Jordan.
While one may debate the fine points of the ads and the maps, there is no question regarding the legal obligation for Metro North to post the ads as free expression of political views.
interesting that there is no poster showing how the muslims have taken over europe, america and canada.
The real “mistake” is that the 1946 only shows the modern border of Israel as “Palestine”. In fact, the area known as Palestine encompassed most (all?) of modern-day Jordan.
Naturally it would be inconvenient to show the entire territory and how much of that is under Israeli/Jewish control.
There is a typo on this ad. They forgot to write “British Mandate of” Palestine.
A
free speech, however to counter this maybe some rich guy can put up adds how the Arabs went to war and that is how Israel expanded
Imy”h soon moshiach will come and it will all be white.
Another mistake: What “Jewish Land” was there (shown in grey) in 1946?
Why such a negative reaction? I call it progress….If the chart is a good forcast then soon we’ll be completely rid of “Palestine”….
The ad is based on the false premise that all land not owned by Jews in 1946 was owned by Arabs. That is not true at all. Most of the land wasn’t owned by anyone.
Lishono Habo the map should be all white.
If I am kicked out of my house and don’ have an opportunity to return until many years later does that make the squatter living there legally entitled to my home ?
The shita hakdoisha – Vayoel Moshe.
So, lets now post an ad ourselves!! How do we get funding and who do we contact?!
I am confused. Did the world begin in 1946?
