    They're not so much "pro-israel" as "anti-islam". The ADL calls these people a hate group.

    Read this article about the organization behind the ad and the purpose should become clear.

    I don't understand. Why can't people understand the philosophical message "An eye for an eye makes the world blind."? Of Jews are killing Arabs off in the Middle East, advertising to hypothetically kill Jews isn't any better. It's disgusting to think that way and it's completely irrational.

    Either way I have no love for either side. Hypocrits and Hate-mongering on both.
    Hey hey hey hey hey, those are ISRAELI Jews.

    While both groups kill, human rights organisation has a book full of criticism of the use of illegal weaponry on the population of gaza it's one thing to strike back it's another to employ weapons which main purpose is the maim. White phosphor for example.

    I have mixed feelings about all this. I mean on the one hand I support freedom of speech, but on the other hand I believe in truth in advertising. I also am fine with calling Hamas a terrorist organization, as they clearly are, but the things said in the ad seem to have an anti-Islamic bent, which I'd be fine with in the public sphere, but as an ad I'm not sure it should be allowed, hell idk if it's legal or not even. Shouldn't there be a general common sense law concerning such things that basically translates to "don't be a dick"?

    Edit: I mean what was even the point of the last line "That's their jihad, what's yours?"

    If local or federal law enforcement had any sense, they would put up a similarly ad, but with an accompanying phone number, and use it as a dragnet.

    I have no problem with the ad, just with the biased and selective approval process. None of Geller's ads are an Nth as provocative or aggressive as this one. Would MTA accept an ad for hired guns to go fight ISIS alongside the Kurds asking "what's your crusade?" Of course not, because "Islamophobic" and likely to provoke those fictional backlash attacks against Muslims and all the other typical accompanying idiocy.

    It's not actually advocating violence, so I'm ok with it.

    This is reminiscent of Germany leading to ww2.

    I agree that we should stay on topic, but I must say that I'm surprised that you aren't capable of understanding that there is a difference between events caused by religious factors and those caused by non-religious factors.
    Deathknight's do it using disease, blood and the power of the unholy. Warlocks do it with dark demons by their side. Mages do it with summoned arcane powers. Druids do it using the forces of nature. Rogues do it through stealth, poison's, shadows and....from behind. Paladins do it by calling to the light for aid. Shamans do it with the help of the elements. Priests do it through the holy light.
    But warriors....
    Warriors just fucking do it.
