Seattle Jewish groups say that bus ads blasting ‘Israeli war crimes’ foment… violence

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, as the NAACP used to say. Well I’m witnessing the decline of Jewish intelligence, in a statement from the Seattle Jewish Federation:

The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, American Jewish Committee, Anti-Defamation League and  StandWithUs NW met together yesterday with the assistant deputy county executive and Metro Transit officials to discuss this issue and seek a resolution that both reduces the potential for any kind of violence …

While we respect and support the first amendment right to free speech, we feel that this particular ad violates Metro Transit’s own policy against running ads that “insult specific groups to the point that a riot could be incited, vandalism could occur or public safety could be threatened.”

By the way, here’s the ad. Let’s not talk about this idea. Let’s not talk about government monies.
