ACLU Files Lawsuit Against Michigan Bus Agency After Vicious Anti-Jewish Ad Refused

Boycott israel

The ACLU of Michigan filed a lawsuit today in U.S. District Court in Detroit on behalf of Blaine Coleman, who has tried for nearly a year to get his advertisement — “Boycott Israel, Boycott Apartheid” — displayed on city buses traveling along the University of Michigan campus. / David Ashenfelter/DFP

The ACLU is becoming as predictable as Hamas, Al Qaeda, al Shabab …. and the legion of anti-freedom, anti-Jewish, anti-American armies. They are monstrously consistent, always siding with evil, fascism and wrong,

ACLU sues bus agency in liberal Ann Arbor after anti-Israel ad is rejected

DETROIT -The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit against an Ann Arbor bus agency after it refused to allow an ad that says, "Boycott Israel."

The lawsuit filed Monday in federal court in Detroit claims the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority is violating the free-speech rights of Blaine Coleman, who wants to put the ad on buses near the University of Michigan.

The lawsuit says the bus agency's board met Nov. 17 and rejected the ad, claiming it violates a policy against ads that ridicule people or groups.

Coleman's ad would say, "Boycott Israel, Boycott Apartheid."

Wait it gets better – this depraved monster contends:

"The lawsuit alleges Coleman has suffered and continues to suffer mental anguish and distress as a result of AATA's decision."

The nazis played the victim, too.

I assure you that if the ACLU prevails in their lawsuit on behalf of the neo-nazi Coleman, AFDI/SIOA will demand that our pro-Israel ads run (below).

The ad does not say Boycott Israel. It says, Boycott “Israel” plus it contains a graphic of a skull and crossbones. The reportage is fundamentally dishonest. As is the ACLU.

This ad is pure antisemitism.
It depicts Jews as spiders and death (the central skull has spider legs)
This a Nazi poster redone for the leftist age

The mind boggling ignorance of the ACLU and the “Boycott Israel Brigade” is only exceeded by their arrogance.
To associate Israel with Apartheid is to literally put the truth on it’s head.
Apartheid was a system of racial segregation enforced by the National Party governments of South Africa between 1948 and 1994, under which the rights of the majority ‘non-white’ inhabitants of South Africa were curtailed and white supremacy and Afrikaner minority rule was maintained.
Anyone with a miniscule amount of intelligence can instantly prove that the Muslim nations are in fact TOTALLY Apartheid by nature.
Saudi Arabia for example will allow NO non-Muslims to become citizens of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia will not allow ANY Jew to place foot on Saudi soil.
Saudi Arabia which has funded over 2500 Mosques in the USA will NOT allow the construction of ANY non-Muslim place of worship in Saudi Arabia.
By complete contrast, Israel is THE ONLY true democracy in the Middle East and since 1949 there have been 63 Arabs elected to “The Knesset”, Israel’s parliament.

She’s been very successful, and has even managed to hide her Muslim background behind a ton of makeup and good amount of pro-Israeli propaganda. All hail Pam Geller! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!

Pamela, why not send the freedoam ads to the Bus agancey anyway??
Good on the Ann Arbor bus people for refusing such a piece of nausea.
Can you imagine how their buses would look, carrying that vicious garbage around??
Hardly passenger-friendly!!
They probably prefer to deal with HUMAN people, rather than the many human-looking death-wishes currently populating the earth.

Oh dear.. I live in Michigan (apologies) and this is all over the news. Unfortunately, it is being reported in the “non biased” variety..Amazing what the news is capable of when they want to be. While we would like most of our news non biased, this is not one of those cases. I pray for the ignorance of the people of this country.

I’m sure that if the bus ad had read “Stop Arab Terrorism” you would have no problem whatsoever with it, right? Last I checked, the country is called “Israel” not “Judaica” and “Israelis” and “Jews” are not the same in all cases. Much like not all “Muslims” are “Arabs” and vice versa. Of course, you wouldn’t need me to tell you that with you expertise in righting racist hateful “books” (Yeah, see? I put that in quotes too b/c your inflammatory rags can hardly fall into the same literary confines of Hemingway).

The second sign in the above article reads “Support Israel, Defeat Jihad.” The One who really supports the State of Israel is none other but God. The support of God Is what really matters. His support is what counts the most. Therefore, the jihadists will lose this war with the Jewish State. It is written “For the lord has chosen Jacob for Himself. Isreal for His special treasure.” Psalm 135:4 [NKJV]

Isn’t it about time the ACLU be sued? I think it’s time to turn the tables on them. They need to be investigated for anti American activities.

The Nazis did thesame thing in the 1930s. Boycott signs were on Jewish businesses as well as Goebbels’ propaganda posters posted everywhere. Absolute proof that history can never learn from its past. History repeats itself.

Thank God for our First amendment…ACLU has its opinion and it is entitled to it. ..but then that is the beauty of it, and with all due respect to differing opinions,
We, who stand for Israel have the right to state ours and walk the walk within the confines of the law no less.
Controversy, criticism, different and opinions are natural and do not have to be a bad thing unless we let ignorance rule and violence erupt.
Educated opinions…tolerance and respect.

A search reveals that Coleman is an Ann Arbor ATTORNEY.
His FITNESS to practice law should be at issue with the State of Michigan and the Michigan Bar BECAUSE of that ad.
It is NAZI JEW-HATRED complete with UGLY GRAPHICS.
Any mind that can conceive that ad and then attempt to put it on buses has NO BUSINESS as an Officer of the Court.

The italics around the name “Israel” in this context are raising question as to its legitimacy. If you support this notion, just say so and prove what you are. Spare us the false intellectual posing.

In drawing a distinction between Jew and Israeli you are at odds with Qom schooled Hasan Nasrallah of Hezbollah “If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion, we would not find anyone like the Jew. Notice, I do not say the Israeli.

my fellow citizens have elected persons into power in this nation that allowed unchecked immigration from hostile people called MUSLIMS- you can take Muslims out of Middle East but you cannot take the ISLAMIC HATRED out of them by changing their location- they have brought their war on JEWS here with them, and most of the LEFT and other jewhaters like Neo Nazis endorse, enable and embrace it- allows them to vent true colors- the RED and Black swastika colors- the GREEN of HAMAS- Most JEWS in USA refuse to understand and see the storm coming.
I suggest JEWS take Pamela’s posters and make similar ones and plaster them graffiti like over every surface of every city- Over every pro-pisslamic billboard and sign- or just spray them black- the law has taken sides and not with JEWS in USA- time for actions louder than words- who would have even dared thought on 9-11 that USA would become more hostile to JEWS than the people who declared war on US all and killed so many- the TRUTH sadly is much stanger than fiction- and TRUTH itself is the first casualty of this war.

PROSECUTE THEM::SUE THEM:::what they do is ILLEGAL- can the bus company promote ILLEGAL activity??
As early as 1921, years before the establishment of the State of Israel, the Arab world declared a boycott of Jewish interests which is still enforced today as the Arab boycott of Israel. Administered by the Arab League, the Arab boycott of Israel includes boycotting Israeli products, companies that do business with Israel, and even goes as far as blacklisting ships that have docked in Israeli ports, thus not allowing certain ships to dock in the ports of Arab countries, regardless of the cargo.
In 1977, the US Congress passed a law creating the Office of Antiboycott Compliance within the Department of Commerce to make sure that the Arab boycott of Israel does not take root in the US. Such actions would create de facto foreign policy; an area that Congress affirmed is under its jurisdiction. The law established that no US persons may take actions in support of an unsanctioned foreign boycott of a nation that is friendly to the United States. The law mainly applies to Israel, and as a result, nobody in the US may engage in a boycott of Israel in support of the Arab boycott of Israel.
