‘Deeply disturbing’ anti-Israel ads plague NYC subway trains as MTA takes heat for failing to remove them fast enough
NY Post
Disturbing anti-Israel ads are continuing to pop up on city subway trains, leaving red-faced MTA officials fuming, The Post has learned.
“Free Palestine. The US spends your tax money on a genocide in Gaza,” one professional-looking poster spotted on an F train this week reads. “Read up. Get Organized. Fight back.”

Gerard Felitti, a lawyer with the pro-Israeli group #EndJewHatred, accused the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of not doing enough to get rid of the offensive signs.
“The Jewish community is fed up,” Felitti told The Post on Wednesday.
“[The MTA] are dragging their feet. It’s just as bad as when we initially complained about it,” he said, referring to other anti-Israel ads — including one reading “Israel Bombs. USA Pays. How many kids did you kill today?” — that the group flagged to the transit agency months ago.
