The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is about to go underground– into the Washington subway system, to be exact. Beginning May 13, some 20 downtown Metro stations will be emblazoned with posters advertising a June 10 rally and march in Washington protesting “Israel’s illegal military occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.”
Initiated by a charity called the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, the 46-by-60-inch posters depict an imposing tank pointing its main firing turret at a child with a schoolbag walking along a dirt road.
CBS Outdoor, the New York-based firm that places in-station advertising for WMATA, at first refused to consider the poster, but eventually relented to pressure from WMATA and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

I would not be surprised if the people behind this are Jews.
I’m ready to go June 10 as a counter protest.
esrog, you are probably correct, trust me NK will be there.
“esrog, you are probably correct, trust me NK will be there.” They might not show up – I checked the calendar – June 10th is a Sunday – now if it was on Shabbos…
The picture is likely doctored.

Wouldn’t make a difference if it was shabbos kodesh, they were mechelel shabbos before to come to a washington rally and were photographed in the Daily Slime, even talking near a microphone.
what was wrong with what I had to say?
I think emailing CBS would be a good thing.
sayitlikeitis – reread what I wrote. I started with a quote from velicher choosid in an earlier post. the point of my post was that if it was Shabbos… they would show up with streimels and tallisim. I thought everybody would understand without actually writing out the words. anyway – we agree.
What they don’t show in the picture is the bomb the little boy is carrying in his backpack to blow up the tank. Have a nice day!

Why do you think this picture is doctored?
Whats wrong with a picture of a Arab boy walking past a parked tank? It is something that occurs every single day in every single country. If anything, the implications are doctored.
