An answer to the anti-Israel Seattle bus ads
In Seattle, an anti-Israel organization is planning to place ads on buses in the city showing a bombed-out building from Gaza with the words “Israeli war crimes: your tax dollars at work.

Great ad idea. Which is why I’m certain it would be rejected as being too controversial and offensive by the hypocrites.
Somehow, I don’t see the poster improving ridership.
I agree with Laura. Let’s try anyway! Beat them at their own game.
Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. LOVE THE AD!
It will give passengers time to pause whether they should really get on the bus It will have a strong effect…’my goodness, are there any terrorists hiding on THIS bus? Shall I walk or take the train?’
In the meanwhile, let us the proletariats, continue with our emails and phone calls to Seattle City Council.
council@kingcounty.gov and 1-800-325-6165 (toll-free). There is a 10 hr time difference from Israel
This is excellent and stronger than the counter ad StandWithUs (a great organization) is proposing. Have you forwarded this to them?
love the ad!
Excellent but it’s pro-Israel so it will most likely be rejected.
@BlandOatmeal – it ain’t about ridership. Duh?
I say it should be a direct copy of their ad, but with the truth slipped in. Pictures of their actual crimes, & the reminder that the US & EU finds them ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY.
Remember Juuly 2006??
Seattle was the site of a (deranged?) Muslim jihadist killing a woman at the Federation office and wounding several others.

The anti-Israel bus ad campaign has been cancelled by King County Executive. Christians United for Israel (CUFI) responded with an emergency action alert that swamped the governing authority of Seattle with 4000 of the 6000 emails pleading that the antisemitic ads be restrained.
What does pleading and restrained mean? No one should have to plead. Ask or demand would seem to be more appropriate.
(My caveat)*****4000 emails from an organization that purports to have 40-70 million ardent Israel supporters is laughable.
They can generate 4000 emails just out of CUFI executive employees. I wonder if this is their true strength and the rest advertising sizzle in order to impress the stupid and naive/gullible Jews? There are some condos in NY,LA and Miami that could generate 4000 emails just from the Jews living in the buildings. Remember this was an action alert a call to action by our Christian friends and supporters. So we have at best 4000 committed Christian supporters. Nothing to write home about? This is not the first time they have shown weak support when it counted like the demonstrations against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad whenever he comes to America and at the Columbia Univ. demonstrations they were absent etc.
Bush carried out his anti Israel policies despite the CUFI and if they had no power over a Bush who do they have influence over besides maybe a Seattle Bus company?
The add for me was secondary to the response. Jews failed Christians disappoint.
