People are losing their minds over these Israel posters.


https://nypost.com/2023/11/01/metro/...osters-on-ues/

Going along Columbus ave near 79th other night and some older man came out of walking his dog on Planetarium park, he went right up to a "kidnapped" Israel poster on lamp post and began tearing it down. I'm thinking what does this old (white) geezer have against Jews?

There are city laws that must be adhered to if you want a society to function.
People can not take the Law into their own hands.


Bottom Line.
If you want to help people suffering go thru proper channels and do so in a legal and meaningful manner
like sending money to the Red Cross for food supply and medical neccesities.
Taping posters around lamp poles? Shenanigans.

Ripping down posters? Shenanigans.
Complain to the city or the Electric Company or simply turn a blind eye.
Mother Nature will probably get to cleaning the lampost before a light maintainer.


Useless engagement .

I can't understand if someone is really Pro-Palestinian but against Hamas, why would they be ripping down those posters?! I guess one can't be Pro-Palestinian without being Pro-Hamas?!

Better watch out - I've seen videos where they are now placing razor blades under the posters and when people try to rip them down they get cuts all over their hands - sorry I think it's deserved - Karma.

So the posters act like tiny little IEDs -got it. Put up a poster and become a mini-terrorist.

Maybe because he knows the derogatory term jews call him for being a non-jew (goyim).

I saw one of those posters in Honolulu yesterday. On a telephone pole right in front of the District Court. I shook my head, but just turned away. The poster was pushing people to call the Congressman, who is a useless slug. The poster featured a picture of a hostage older Jewish Israeli couple.

The whole situation over there is a complicated picture. The death and mayhem is atrocious. It could be a very SIMPLE picture, instead--- if the Israeli regime would just let the Palestinians have their own country. They have been thwarted and OCCUPIED since 1967. Violence is a response to a situation which has become intolerable.

I was in Nashville the other day and these posters where everywhere. I was excited to get to Hattie B sandwich location and see no line.
