'Israeli War Crimes' Ads to Appear in US
A group of peace activists based in Seattle, Washington has launched a series of ads on city buses reading "Israeli war crimes: Your tax dollars at work". A poll by a local tv station showed overwhelming support for the ads among respondents.
The Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign paid for the large banner ads to appear on 12 local commuter buses, beginning Monday, the third anniversary of Israel's invasion of the Gaza Strip.
The buses will carry the message "Israeli war crimes: your tax dollars at work," with pictures of Palestinian children standing around a demolished building. The advertisements will run for four weeks.
Ed Mast, a Seattle campaign activist, said the ads are meant to protest a pledge made by the US in 2007 to support Israel with 30 billion dollars in military aid in the next 10 years.
good!
