An important message from Pamela Geller:
The MBTA has repeatedly refused to run our pro-Israel ads, which we submitted in response to vicious anti-Israel ads like the one they are currently running (below).

This is just the latest in a number of antisemitic ad campaigns. We are fighting the MBTA in the courts and have filed a cert petition to SCOTUS. Here’s a link to the petition: AFDI Petition for Cert(1)
Imagine, the city of the Boston jihad bombings refusing to run anti-jihad ads. Despicable.
Here are the ad the MBTA has refused to run:

They refused this too:

They also refused this one as well:

It’s not just the jihad attacks in Paris and the Muslim refugee crisis — in this age of Obama, the forces of hatred and oppression are emboldened and on the offensive everywhere. Officials all over the country are kowtowing to evil instead of standing up to it — even in unlikely places like Boston, which has just agreed to run vicious anti-Israel ads, while continuing to refuse to run our AFDI ads defending Israel and freedom.
The Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) has long refused to our pro-Israel/anti-jihad advertisements on their buses. And now, with their acceptance of the Jew-hating ads, their bias is naked and obvious — and anti-American and anti-freedom.
We are not taking this without a fight.
You would think that officials in Boston would have more sense. In the city where Islamic jihadists sowed murder and mayhem at the Marathon, the MBTA claimed our ads criticizing Islamic anti-Semitism and jihad terror were demeaning to Muslims – as if all Muslims were Jew-haters and jihadists.
Now the MBTA has compounded its moral inversion by approving and running anti-Semitic ads that include libels and lies against Israel.

It’s beyond appalling: in a city repeatedly wracked by Islamic terror attacks — the blood of its citizens stains the streets of the city — the MBTA refused to run our ads opposing jihad.
We are never going to acquiesce to this evil. AFDI vs. Boston’s Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA) is going to the Supreme Court. But the costs involved are astronomical. This case is far more important than what ads run or do not run: it’s a question of whether our public forums are going to be available to all people, or whether whole segments of the American public are simply going to be silenced and disenfranchised.
We can’t stand for free speech without the help of free citizens. HELP US FIGHT SHARIA ENFORCEMENT IN BOSTON. DONATE HERE.
The media doesn’t not mention once the MBTA’s prohibition on AFDI’s ads. They just paint the opposition to the anti-Israel ads as Jews whining.
Anti-Israeli ads offend MBTA riders
Pro-Israeli groups calling ads unfairBOSTON —Political ads at an MBTA station are offending some riders and now the MBTA may be considering taking action.
The text reads Israel’s military kills one Palestinian child every three days using U.S. tax dollars.
“What we are trying to do is highlight to Americans a component of the story we think is missed,” Jake Chase-Lubitz, of the Palestine Advocacy Project, said. “That is the devastation Israel brings to the Palestinian community.”
The ads are now displayed in seven cities, including Boston. Pro-Israeli groups are calling them unfair.
“Spreading distortions and inaccuracies about a complex political situation will achieve no positive benefit,” the Jewish Community Relations Council said.
Jewish groups NewsCenter 5 spoke with say they respect the group’s right to express their opinion the MBTA is now “considering whether to amend its advertising guidelines and in the future will not accept ads concerning political issues and matters of public debate”
These Jewish groups stand with Jew-haters, but did not stand with us.

Thank you for telling the truth, and exposing the misinformation about Israel…I believe the insidious propaganda has gone on way too long….it was so effective and widespread so now I hope many will be enlightened.
No easy task when you have to work against the organized deceivers.
Jay Boo says
A double standard yes, however
Although I like the anti-jihad ads —
I hate to say this but, their ads are a little bit slicker.
Also, the anti-jihad ads are more anti (jihad) than pro (Israel).
This does not excuse the double standard.
Sometimes a shock and awe hammer is needed and other times something else.
What exactly I am not sure but the side by side comparison gives the false impression that the other side is more PRO something.
Even if the anti-jihad ads are allowed unfortunately their Muslims only as victims message is better able to pull at the heart strings of a gullible public.
Westman says
The result is predictable. The court will find the policy is inconsistent. Then the MBTA will stop running all politically-connected anti-anything ads with a “new” policy (already prepared).
They can’t afford to lose the 2016 campaign ad revenue so they will be forced to refuse political attack ads with such a policy. That’s a small price to pay to get the rest of the political ad revenue.
In time, people will start putting criticism of Islam on their bumpers. Watch for it.

Don’t count on the (blind) justice system to solve it for you. It seems whoever has the most money and the right skin complexion (based on the situation) wins.

Hating Jews Seems too popular to address…so here goes…The Jewish people have certainly done their part…Science…Medicine…Law…Economics…Education…The Arts…Humor…and so much more would all be Pretty Lame Without Them…In essence the world would be Pretty Much Flavorless…
Imagine That…so what seems to be The problem haters have with them.
Maybe what the Jews did in Rejecting Christ…Killing Him…This may be It…Yet if We could go back in time and turn the Soldier around…You know the One who shoved a spear into Christ’s Side to finish Him…If we looked at This Soldiers Face…We would Each Clearly See This Was Our Very Own Face…Right There…He died To Liberate All Mankind…That Is Why He Died.
Judah’s Descendants were promised a Line of Kings…Culminating in The Messiah (savior or liberator)…Mankind needed liberating…Satan held them captive reaching there minds through the spirit in mankind…a very Powerful Spirit Being…This Captor Views all Humans With Rage and Contempt…this captor would be hateful to any people he associated with this liberator.
Christ was born amongst the Jews…His Mother was One…He was One…The Greatest One…The Lion Of The Tribe of Judah…all Christ’s Apostles Were One…All of The Scriptures were written down exactly as God wanted by the Jews…and they so carefully guarded every detail of these writings…The Christian Church Started and was Headquartered in Jerusalem…Did God make a mistake here or was Christ born exactly where He was Supposed to be…are these Jews indeed special…is that it…no one likes a favorite…do they.
Well Folks We had better look this up for Ourselves…God had named a Man Abraham (meaning a Father of Many Nations)…What Nations…the One called Israel today is just a single nation…Abraham Had a Son Named Isaac…Isaac had a Son named Jacob…God changed Jacob’s name to Israel…Israel had Twelve Sons…One was named Judah…He is the One all of the Jews come from (Just Like all Californians are Americans…yet all Americans are not Californians) All Jews are part of Israel…All of Israel are not Jews…We know a large part of Judah is in a Country called Israel Today and some Jews live elsewhere…But Where is the rest of Israel (approximately a Billion People somewhere) where are they Today…What Nations did they become…Why Does the God of The Christian Bible Keep Mentioning…Israel…h’m
Anyway… From King David continuing on to The Christ… a Line of Kings…from Judah.
Any claim to a throne would get Satan’s special attention…Christ sits on the throne Satan covets the most…But Satan is Not The Almighty God Who Created Him and Restrains him Even Now…Christ Has All Authority Over All Things…He Is A Power Beyond Reckoning…the demons know and tremble.
Of Course mankind’s unjustified hate of any kind is simply a product of minds influence by
Thoughts Satan Broadcasts…Through The Air Even Now…a Genius at Mind Ploys…
If…We Entertain Those Thoughts We think Like He does…He Is The Destroyer…The Enemy.
If…We Turn to God with A willing and Obedient mind…Christ can Join His Mind with Ours…
We Can Love…and Not Hate…with Man It Is Impossible…with God All Things Are Possible.
I have to say that the Jews are just folks like the rest of us…just flesh and blood human…
Prone to the same mixture of good and evil All Mankind experiences…taking the traditions of men over The word of God…this is all I could find out about Jews.

These people who call themselves Palestinian Arabs …they are mostly Amalekites a nomadic people who are commonly considered to be Amalek’s descendants…
Though the definite origins of the word “Palestine” have been debated for years and are still not known for sure, the name is believed to be derived from the Egyptian and Hebrew word peleshet. Roughly translated to mean “rolling” or “migratory,” the term was used to describe the inhabitants of the land to the northeast of Egypt – the Philistines. The Philistines were an Aegean people – more closely related to the Greeks and with No Connection Ethnically, Linguistically or Historically with Arabia – Arabia who conquered in the 12th Century BCE the Mediterranean coastal plain that is now Israel and Gaza.
A derivitave of the name “Palestine” first appears in Greek literature in the 5th Century BCE when the historian Herodotus called the area “Palaistinē” In the 2nd century CE, the Romans crushed the Jewish revolt against Roman rule (132 CE), during which Jerusalem and Judea were regained by the Romans and the area of Judea was renamed Palaestina in an attempt by Rome to minimize Jewish identification with the land of Israel.
In Arabic, the corresponding term for the Amalek is Imlīq, whose descendants Al-′Amālīq were early residents of the Haram at Mecca, later supplanted by the Banu Jurhum, and formed one of the first tribes of ancient Arabia to speak Arabic.
While considerable knowledge about nomadic Arabs have been recovered through archeological research, no specific artifacts or sites have been linked to Amalek with any certainty
The PLO seems to be the ones to have made the name Palistinian stick on These People…which are mainly in Jordan and in Israel…there are very many of those among them who will Never Accept Being Good Settled Citizens Anywhere …It seems to be the Amalekite Way…and just like all the humans on this planet…they will see themselves right and the others wrong…The Nation of Israel has not taken anything from These People…Israel instead Wants Things These people Don’t Want National Organized Law and Rule by a Democratic People…National Boundaries and the Willingness to keep them…To Prosper Through Hard Work Which Allows Anyone Participating in It to Grow and move on with Their Own Lives…and last but not least Israel just will not be Amalekite…how dare them… Jews!
Mathew Solo says
Arabs who desire to control the Temple Mount in Jerusalem often deny that Israelite presence there predates Muslim presence that first appears about 700 AD. Yet, recent archaeological evidence counters the Arab claim. “A 10-year-old Russian boy… recently made an extraordinary discovery in Jerusalem. Working as a volunteer in the Temple Mount Sifting Project, he found a 3,000-year-old seal—engraved limestone about the size of a thimble, with a hole at one end so it could be hung from a string—from the time of King David [about 1000 BC]. The artifact was nestled in the hundreds of tons of earth and rock that had been illegally excavated from below the Temple Mount in the late 1990s by the Muslim Waqf… the seal confirms the ancient Jewish presence in Jerusalem—more than a millennium before the Muslim Dome of the Rock was built…” (Wall Street Journal, October 25, 2015).
Scripture places Israelites on the Temple Mount at the time of kings David and Solomon (see 1 Kings). This new “hard evidence” supports the biblical claim. Jesus prophesied of the end-time, saying: “For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known” (Matthew 10:26).
As the end of this age approaches, God is making known many truths that reinforce the validity of Scripture and His own existence.

So typical of Bean town.Where anti -Jewish stupidity is always in fashion.After all it was not till the 1850`s Jews were even allowed to build a house of worship in Boston!Harvard had “quotas” for Jews, even in the 1950`s.And all with those pricey, elite schools and places of higher learning you would think it would be a tolerant , rational place,not!
If it was another group the DOJ would be there in a flash?
Carolyne says
I do not believe biblical stories about the Middle East and God giving certain portions of land to certain people, favoring them over others. If there were a God, why would he/she do that? It is preposterous.
However, I do believe that Israel is a legitimate state and that supporting it is the moral thing to do and I do so. Also, because of the behavior of Muslims as a matter of course and as a matter of obeying their so-called holy book, I detest them all. They are inhumane, incestuous vermin whose intelligence, if it ever existed, has been degraded by their disgusting custom of marrying first cousins.
I certainly believe that in a war between savages and civilized men, I need to support the civilized man, not just to protect Israel, but to protect all of Western civilization. Protecting and supporting Israel is, in my opinion, protecting and supporting my own country and it’s goals.
Islam is worthless.
