An ad from the StandWithUs pro-Israel campaign
Supporters of the Jewish state aren’t taking a so-called “anti-Israel” ad campaign lightly. In fact, StandWithUs, a non-profit that works to dispel anti-Semitism and to clarify what it believes to be the truth about Israel, has launched a counter campaign on New York City’s Metro North train system.
(Related: ‘Anti-Israel’ Ad Campaign Causes Outrage in NYC)
Last month, you may recall TheBlaze’s initial report about the controversial new, Pro-Palestinian images that were placed throughout train lines. The contentious ads depict the never-ending drama in the Middle East, as they show Palestinian land allegedly decreasing in size over the past 60+ years. And as the Palestinian landmass shrinks, the ad portrays Israel monumentally growing in size.

The original ad that caused the controversy. (Image Credit: CBS News)
The original posters were placed by the Committee for Peace in Israel and Palestine, a group that claims to be “dedicated to organizing activities and educational events that advance the cause of peace and justice for both Palestinians and Israelis.” The chairman of the organization, Henry Clifford, spent $25,000 of his own money to have the ads placed on 50 train stations in the Metro North system.

The new counter campaign by StandWithUs, naturally takes a starkly different view on the matter. Six new ads intended to counter Clifford’s views are being shown throughout the same train network over the next month. According to a press release distributed by the group, the billboards will seek to educate citizens about the ongoing situation in the Middle East.

An ad from the StandWithUs pro-Israel campaign
Here’s an explanation, as per the release:
One StandWithUs billboard informs viewers that the land of Israel, renamed Palestine by the conquering Romans in 135 CE, has been the Jewish homeland for over 3,000 years.
A second billboard features a picture of the Bible along with the tagline, “According to this 3,000-year-old best seller, Israel is the Jewish homeland.”
The third visually details how Palestinians have said no to territorial compromise and peace repeatedly since 1937.
A fourth billboard underlines the fact that Israel saves water through cutting-edge water conservation technology that is being exported around the world.
The fifth shows how Israeli technology helps Americans, in part by creating American jobs.
The sixth shows a Palestinian and Israeli boy hugging, reminding viewers that Israel Needs a Partner for Peace and urging the Palestinian leaders to accept Israel as its Jewish neighbor.

An ad from the StandWithUs pro-Israel campaign
StandWithUs believes that it is essential to drive these messages home, so that the public embraces what the organization believes to be Israel’s true historical context. Through the ads, the group hopes to encourage Americans to go to SayYesToPeace.org and OnlyIsrael.org to gain more information about the Israeli-Palestinian crisis.
“We cannot allow the public to be misled by the factual distortions in yet another anti-Israel campaign. We are committed to countering anti-Israel campaigns whenever they appear,” said Roz Rothstein, the organization’s CEO.

An ad from the StandWithUs pro-Israel campaign
“Anti-Israel activists continuously try to undermine American support for Israel with campaigns that misrepresent Israel and its history. The anti-Israel ads are a shocking distortion of history,” he added.

Posted on August 3, 2012 at 1:05pmTransjordan was always part of the province of Palestine. It should be included in the land belonging to the Palestinians. In fact most Palestinians should be resettled in Jordan-a land with same people, same culture, religion and language.

Posted on August 3, 2012 at 4:11pmOriginally Trans-Jordan was supposed to be part of the original Jewish homeland that was acquired by the allies and administered by the British from the Turks after WWI, but due to political pressure from the Arabs and many “Progressive” nations at the time, Britain was forced to consolidate the borders even after WWII and continued to deny the Jewish people their rightful homeland.
The horrors that followed coupled with the current standoff wouldn’t have occurred had the British done their job in 1918 after WWI

Posted on August 3, 2012 at 12:53pmTell the muslim world that the moment they are willing to give up their lands attained through conquest, the rest of world will be willing to address their complaints about conquest. See how much of a response they give.
At the end, Islam took more from other than was ever taken from them. Mohammad was actually supported by Jews in his military actions. Mohammad, on losing a battle, needed a scapegoat and targeted the Jews for “not being supportive enough.” It was a practice Islam continued, over and over, on their military conquest of the Middle East and up into Europe.
Just be thankful the Hammer stopped the invading hordes.

It is rediculous to think Islam has any claim to their land.
It’s also funny how the Arabs always move to the Israeli side of any border change.

Posted on August 3, 2012 at 10:40amSo I guess if you agree with the logic that the land, although renamed was always Israel’s homeland…. then North American should be regarded as the Indian’s homeland since it was merely taken and renamed by the British and latter Americans. But of course this type of consistent logic or rationality is never recognized or accepted by the ideologically driven.

Posted on August 3, 2012 at 11:17amJR Rook > Palestine never was a country, never had a government, never had a currency. Learn your history. The middle east was parsed into it current borders after WWI. Before then, most of that land was Arabia. The Palestinians at that time were provided their parcel of land but they were not accepted by their own brothers. They are landlocked not because of Israel. It is a result of their “brotherly” neighbors refusing the accept their existence and the thug Arafat inventing their heritage for political gain and the destruction of Israel.

First of all, most “Palestinians” don’t even live in Israel or the disputed territories. Most live in Jordan where they make up the majority despite being ruled by a King of Arabian descent.
Second, the issue isn’t just suicide bombings. The bombers didn’t build their own vests, pick their own targets, buy the explosives, or do anything other than blow themselves up. They are just the pawns not the players. The PLO, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and many others all fund and organize the terrorist attacks which include suicide bombings, rocket attacks, kidnappings, shootings, even stoning. And yet Israel is told that they must make peace with these murderers who, at the behest of foreign nations, were established as the recognized rulers of Palestinians.
All one has to do is look at the symbols used by all these groups to understand their intentions. Most show the pre-1948 British mandate of Palestine (implying that they don’t want Israel to exist) and many include crossed swords or machine guns (clearly indicating they don’t believe in peaceful solutions).

Posted on August 3, 2012 at 12:19pm@Tzion, I just did the math man. 3.6 million Palestinians living in Israel. 170 suicide bombing since 1980. Tweak the formula any way you like and it would still be significantly less than 1%. Math vs. Propaganda… math wins. No matter how you spin it, your justification for the way Israel treats the 99.985% of the Palestinians is based on a VERY small percentage of their population.
@Ben, I’m not justifying anything, just trying to keep things in perspective here because I see calls to kill them all or run them into the sea from a bunch of people who forgot to restore love, and to love their enemies. My position has always been that everyone minds their own business.

Posted on August 3, 2012 at 1:56amThis whole Israel topic has warped and distorted the right’s thinking. Jews or “chosen people” are big supporters of the left and are always trying to undermine the right in the media that they own (like NY Times, Time Magazine, Newsweek-Jewsweek, Washington Post, LA Times, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, etc). However, the right supports their opposition simply because they think their adversaries are “chosen people.” Yet the left (Democrats), whom Jews back by about 90% support, doesn’t support the very people that back them.

That ad with the years 37′, 47′, 67′, 00′, 01′, 08′, 12′ is so poignant. So full of Truth.
The islamists have repeatedly rejected peace because they DO NOT want peace. (got that rosey-ellen?) They do not even acknowledge the existence of Isreal, one of the oldest historical states on earth (but of course, the last thing a leftist will trust is the Bible).
