Provocative ads showing a photograph of Adolf Hitler YM”S with a former Arab leader are to begin appearing on Philadelphia transit buses.
A federal judge last month ordered the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority to accept the ads. The agency said last week it wouldn’t appeal.
The pro-Israel American Freedom Defense Initiative’s ads appearing Wednesday carry the tagline: “Jew Hatred: It’s in the Quran.”
Mayor Michael Nutter attended a rally against the ads Tuesday. Religious leaders encouraged unity and peaceful protest.
The Interfaith Center of Greater Philadelphia says it’ll run its own ad “Dare to Understand” ad campaign that promotes mutual understanding, respect and tolerance.
The ads will appear on 84 buses. One features a 1941 photograph of Hitler YM”S and supporter Hajj Amin al-Husseini, a Palestinian Arab nationalist.

“Every anti Semite will be fired up and inspired” by cowardice and silliness like yours. You probably never met an antisemite in your life. Real Jew-haters do not need to see any adds on public buses to be fired-up against the Jews.
Your wrong MoisheInGolus,anti semitism is a problem with very little to do about.the world has been heavily desensitized by what hitler yms did and his seeing his image doesn’t cause regret or sadness like it used to.whats their goal?being reminded what hitler yms did can backfire and cause anger and worse chas vishalom

RE: “whats their goal?” The goal of the add is to warn Americans and a specially Yiden that Nazism is well and alive today as it was was in Europe in 30’s. Moderm day Nazism found its new home in Muslim religion.
