HERE IS THE AFDI PRO-ISRAEL BUS AD TO RUN IN SEATTLE COUNTERING THE HATERS

Its perfect. American Muslims are basically Nazis who don’t shower.
I cannot wait until they take it until the next level because I’m just itching to start Boycotting, Divesting and Sanctioning the American Muslonazi community. Jihad donkey wants to talk tough?

I don’t know if you’re open to suggestions, Pamela, but as a graphic designer, I have a couple of notes that I think would greatly help this ad to grab maximum attention.
1/ Generally, shorter and snappier text would work best. Keep in mind that if the bus is in motion, pedestrians may not get to read the entire phrase if it’s overly lengthy and if the bus gets obscured by traffic of buildings. For example, the heading:
“In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man.”
Could be shortened significantly, while still maintaining the same level of impact, to:
“In any war, support the civilized, not the savage.”
2/ Make the text “Support Israel. Defeat Islamic Jihad” larger… much, MUCH larger! Run it along the entire bottom horizontal width of the ad, even if it means making the images a little smaller (or slightly overlaying it on them). This single line is crucial; it bears the very message of your ad, so you don’t want people to have to squint in order to read it. (Ideally, this text should also a different colour to help it stand out even more at a glance.)
3/ Get the SIOA website link on there so that people know who’s behind this campaign, and will have a website URL to refer back to if they’d like more info/facts.
If you look at the horrid anti-Israel bus ad in comparison, you can see that all their text is short, the font is large and multi-coloured, and it’s easy and quick to read. They may be scum, but they know how to make their ads look eye-catching. Remember, pictures only take a second to digest visually, but the eyes need a lengthier amount of time to linger on text because it must be both read AND comprehended.
The ad does look excellent and I don’t mean to criticize the designer’s work. I’m very glad you are out there doing this, Pamela, and I shudder to think what would be happening if you weren’t! I only offer these suggestions from my field to try and aid this noble cause and help make this ad pull the maximum amount of attention that it deserves!

Is this confirmed? Has it been approved by the bus company or whoever’s in charge of the ad placements? You know the Seattle chapter of the Hamas-linked CAIR is going to raise a big stink about it just like the chapter in SF did with the Leaving Islam? ads.

So simple and yet so powerful.

Pamela
Well done for doing something about this.
The International Solidarity Movement supports the destruction of Israel but claims it wishes to achieve this by ‘non-violent’ means. It is difficult to find a more hypocritical organisation than this. There is overwhelming evidence that the organisation supports terrorism against Israel (see, e.g.
http://edgar1981.blogspot.com/2010/04/ahava-protests-and-ism-link.html
Moreover, the organisation played a significant role in the suicide bombing of Mike’s Place in Tel Aviv in 2003 by the British terrorists Asif Muhammad Hanif and Omar Khan Sharif. Israel’s General Security Service (GSS) reported “The two terrorists were careful to base their presence in Judea and Samaria by forging links with members of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) “.
So it is worth remembering REAL victims and the role ISM played in their deaths. Three young talented people Dominique Hass, 29, Ran Baron, 23, and Yanai Weiss, 46, were killed in the Mikes Place bombing and over 50 more were seriously injured. I did my own graphical tribute to them

Pamela,
Great ad! However, I think that Harry’s suggestions will make it even better. I especially like the inclusion of the historical images: people need to educated on the historical ties between modern islamists and the Nazis, the ties that live on. In light of that I have a couple of suggestions of my own.
1. Place the historical pictures on the left and the modern on the right. Write the word “Then” under the historical pictures and “Now” under the modern.
2. Make the modern picture of islamists raising their right arms in Nazi salute bigger, perhaps the biggest of the modern pictures, in order to emphasize the historical connection between the Nazis and the islamists. Many of those who lean Left still consider Nazis evil. Emphasizing this connection would hopefully raise some questions in people’s minds.
It’s about time someone put Nazi-islamist connection out in the open for the general public. Thank you, Pamela.
Eric.

Remember, people will react with their subconscious to the words and pics, and most people will not recognize the Mufti. May be you could use the photo of the Mufti having a chat with Hitler?
Sorry for all the suggestions but I want your add to succeed.

Also put a picture of the peaceful Iraqi Christian church mass next to the slaughtered Christians from the Iraq massacre (at least the bloody aftermath).

Little do you know how true that statement is. There is a statue of Lenin in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle….it’s considered “quaint”.
During the peak of the Iraq war, there were signs in some buildings cheering on the terrorists.
Seattle is a sick town, that’s why I do as little business there as possible.

As more and more Americans “get it” re Islam’s real dogmas, the Jihadists are going to try and stoke the flames of Jew-hating in America. I suspect the ad re Israel can be traced back to some Muslim organization.
Muslims have to hide the truth re their dogmas re Jewish people, as well as other dogmas re Unbelievers. Their whole objection to Israel is based in the Jew-hating suras of the Qu’ran.
Most Unbelievers (even today) still don’t know that about a million Jewish people fled Muslim countries, before and after 1948, because of the Jew-hating blessed by the Qu’ran, and that most found refuge in Israel. (The Grand Muffy was as dangerous as Hitler.)
The truth is that the Grand Muffy’s “Holy” Qu’ran rivals Hitler’s Mein Kamph in its Jew-hating suras. When Muslims are confronted by that truth they either lie (as Hussein Ibish did in a debate with Pamela) that there are no Jew-hating suras in the Qu’ran, or attempt to divert the issue by pointing out that there was/is Jew-hating among “Christians.”
However, the fundamental difference between Jesus and Moe, is that Jesus was a Jew, his followers were Jewish, and above Jesus’ cross the Romans wrote in Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek: ‘Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” (I’m sure Moe and Allah would approve of the Roman Jew-hating demonstrated by the sign above Jesus’ head. It (the sign) was very Islam.)
(There were political and state interests in Europe that used Jesus for Jew-hating purposes by lying re Jesus’ teachings, but there is nothing in Jesus’ teachings that recommend that. On the other hand, Jew-hating comes highly recommended in the Qu’ran. hitler admired Islam for that reason.)
In any case, Islam and Muslims have to be confronted by the institutionalized Jew-hating in the Qu’ran. It should not be tolerated, and must be exposed, along with the rest of Islam’s absurd dogmas (for example: the Islamic doctrine of abrogation that has the chronologically earlier “peaceful” suras peddled to Unbelievers canceled by the later suras that have Gd telling Moe to deceive, dominate and exterminate Unbelievers.)
…Once again re the doctrine of abrogation: Ibn Warraq, page 115,Why I am Not a Muslim: “Now we see how useful and convenient the doctrine of abrogation is in bailing scholars out of difficulties. Of course, it does pose a problem for apologists of Islam, since all the passages preaching tolerance are found in the Meccan, i.e., early suras, and all the passages recommending killing, decapitating, and maiming are Median, i.e., later: “tolerance” has been abrogated by “intolerance.” For example, the famous verse at Sura 9.5, “Slay the idolaters wherever you find them,” is said to have canceled 124 verses that dictate tolerance and patience.”

I disagree with #1: Keep the sentence as is. It is more powerful and it will be seen; buses don’t move that fast….
I agree with #2: This should definitely be larger!
I disagree with #3: Even tho’ not everyone agrees with Atlas/SIOA, they cannot disagree with this message…. Let people agree to this without then changing their minds because “oh, it came from the right.”
Excellent ad.

That’s a good ad. Elder of Ziyon has one he made as well:
http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2010/12/answer-to-anti-israel-seattle-bus-ads.html

Thanks for posting that Choi. And would anyone doubt that if “The One” weren’t president, his name would be up there as well.

The Jihadist victories are small/well organized, but the overall big-picture momentum is against Islam because the issue of Islam vs. Unbelievers is about ideas and truth (as it was with Communism).
Jihadists can win short term victories by deception/violence. But Islam has no Universal Golden Rule and is full of inner contradictions in the long term.
The collapse of Islam will come from the communications revolution, and these ads of Pamela’s are part of a cumulative tide that will overwhelm islam and Muslims in the years ahead. “Think globally, act locally” fits here.

Todah raba, Pamela. You have done the biggest mitzvah ever!
Am Y’Israel Chai.
I love you!

valuable post: we need to know who supports this hate.

Some observations.
1) This ad is very well designed to take advantage of this unique advertising space. I’ve certainly noticed that ads on the sides of buses work differently than those on billboards or one page magazine ads. Mainly that they are seen, then go away, then are seen again — without the control of the viewer like other photo ads. A little more information, telling a story through a few images works better than just one because of multiple viewings. The viewer does not tire of a good ad quickly, but instead, over repeated viewings as it comes in and out of their life, they put images together and ponder the meanings of them and how they relate. The anti-Israel ad’s single image is quickly assimilated and essentially blocked by the mind after a single viewing. The AFDI ad visually has a longer mental shelf-life. It presents informational images new to the average American, and a different window into historical fact that they don’t get from MSM.
2) The bus ad slogan should equally be more complex and provocative than a typical brief slogan, so that it can be reflected on with multiple viewings. For maximum power it should not be a retread of a tired political talking point, but seem fresh and make one think anew. The AFDI does that. The anti-Israel one is reasonably strong, but shallow, and requires a pre-existing anti-Israel bias for it to work. And then it fades in power, while remaining an annoyance to intelligent, educated people who know better.
All in all, well designed and powerful. I wouldn’t change a thing. Hitler with his hands on the young muslim juxtaposes strongly with the message underneath, making the view ask questions.
Prepare to file your lawsuit.

Now ,THERE is a LIST OF SHYTTE!!!!FK ’em’ ALL

Yes, buses stop, it’s not like driving past a billboard. I’m an artist too and I understand point #1 but Harry’s text doesn’t get across the point that *we’re in a war*. Pamela’s does.
Agree with #2 absolutely. Maybe delete middle picture with Dome of the Rock and also one of Husseini ( no one knows who he is or context) at the end. make others bigger. Not sure we need Kim (or is it Mao?) in there either, Adolf, Y”S says it all.

Check out these graphics for a counter campaign if these ads end up running in Seattle:
http://www.zionism-israel.com/israel_news/2010/12/22/what-to-do-about-ant-israel-seattle-bus-ads/
The visuals are effective and the text is short and to the point.

Grateful to Pamela for doing this, and the ad will probably be a big success.
Since we’re all second-guessing the nice design, I’ll add my two cents:
Two of the photos on the left, which have no captions except the phrase “support Israel”, are perhaps going to be interpreted by a not small number of people as photos of Israeli children. Yes, to many people it will be obvious they are Muslim children. But one shouldn’t underestimate the numbers of people out there with no knowledge of international, historical, or religious matters pertaining to Muslims and Jews. Particularly many young people. The caption “support Israel”, placed under those two photos is going to give the impression to some that the two pictures portray Israeli children.
I’m also not sure the photoshop of Hitler with the Palestinian child is going to avoid all confusion and accusations of dishonesty and manipulation. It helps a lot that the child is in color, while Hitler is not, but that may still not be a sufficiently direct way of letting the viewer know that “this is a photoshop, not literal reality.”

If this truthful anti-Islamic Terrorist ad campaign doesn’t work then al, Jewish organizations and jewish individuals need to let it be know to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and the Seattle Visitors and TourisT Council that we are BOYCOTTING SEATTLE. If we could organize a boycott of this magnitude we would be in the DRIVER’S SEAT.
We need to realize that we are in a war with this subversive element. No question about it!
