NYC Pol Seeks to Censor Subway Ad
A New York City Council member is demanding the censorship of subway ads that call for the U.S. to stop funding military aid for Israel. The ads for the Two Peoples One Future group state “End Military Aid to Israel” and depict a Palestinian and Israeli with their children. “Be on our side. We are the side of peace and justice.” Councilman Lewis Fidler (D-Brooklyn) wrote the city transit agency, “This is a highly political campaign with a controversial underlying anti-Israel message. I would urge you to disallow and/or remove these advertisements.”
