    Still not a good reason to be a bigot. I can name lots of atrocities by every race. Not to mention the Israeli govt isn't helping the issues...

    Not saying I would do either, just that it seems Islam has got a much bigger free pass at not being criticized in Aus than Jews.
    Ah damn I did the frikkin Australia <-> Austria switcheroo again...

    And they're both idiots for it. However, I'm not going to demonize religion for what is more of a regional political conflict with some religious undertones.

    If it was never actually said, somebody probably has a case for slander.

    That is the textbook definition of hate speech. It is a call for violence against a specific group. This is illegal and whoever allowed this should be fired. Hate speech is explicitly not protected under free speech. Hate speech is a really fucking watered down word that people try to pin on lots of stuff, but this is real hate speech by the literal definition.

    not all speech is created equal, at least not for rubbish ads.

    Well considering it's a political statement about Hamas and not actual incitement it's not surprising the court allowed it.

    P.S. I didn't know Hamas had MTV.

    It's not really like that. It's certainly possible that Jewish/Israeli issues are less prominent here because we have a very small Jewish community (if you'd even call it that).

    In reality, Australia is fairly anti-Israel because it's viewed as incendiary American foreign policy, and that's held in low regard here. On the topic of Islam, Australia is pretty... divided. Cronulla wasn't that long ago (those people were bogans... um... I guess the American equivalent is "trailer trash"), also we had a nasty string of gang rapes at the hands of Lebanese youths in Sydney a little before that.

    Australians are generally liberal so intolerance is frowned upon, but some of these events have been hard to ignore. Plus we get radical Imams and home grown terrorists occasionally and that increases the tensions.

    The poster is a bit out of place. It would make more sense in Paris, Marseille, Malmo, London, etc. NYC has a low percent Muslim.

    It's not aimed at Muslims. It's aimed at bolstering anti-Islam sentiment among American right-wingers.

    Ya I know that's my point. It wants to bolster pro-Isreal sentiment which is more of an issue in Europe. I guess they are affraid of losing US support. What is Hillary's stance?

    Also, right wingers in NYC? lol

    You make the thread about the intended subject, which is freedom of speech. If this thread had been started about religion the thread would have allready been closed.

    yeah, New York, that bastion of extreme right wingers.

    Its pretty obvious that our #1 'ally' in the middle east is not Israel, it is Saudi Arabia, the source of modern radical Islam.

    Ah, I see. I wasn't aware that Jews were their primary targets or that Jews were the only people killed on 9/11. But now that you mention it, Jews do run the world, so it makes sense that the World Trade Center would have been staffed exclusively by them. Thank you for educating me.

    lol, I wouldn't exactly consider the "Jews run the world" sentiment to be particularly pro-Israel.

    In a city the size of NYC, even a minority is a damn lot of people.

    About 17% of New Yorkers voted Republican in the 2014 gubernatorial election and that 17% is more than 4 million people in the MSA/CSA.

    Not to mention people who work in NYC and live elsewhere or people visiting/passing through.

    I can only imagine the subliminal effect this will have on their minds. Soon they will be loyal to Mossad /s
