"Boycott Israel" bus advertisement wins a victory in federal court:

"Ann Arbor bus agency loses ruling over anti-Israel ads"

"Ann Arbor — A judge has ruled against the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority in a lawsuit that challenges the bus agency's rejection of an anti-Israel ad.

"Flint federal Judge Mark Goldsmith says the agency's policy in favor of ads that are in "good taste" is vague and unconstitutional.

"Blaine Coleman wants to put an ad on buses that would have skulls and bones and say, "Boycott 'Israel.' Boycott Apartheid." He believes the Israeli government treats Palestinians unfairly.

"The Ann Arbor Transportation Authority says it turns down ads that ridicule people. Officials say Coleman's ad would probably turn away riders, but the judge says the First Amendment trumps any business concerns..."

Sol Metz

A Palestine human rights activist,

we remember our friend, Sol Metz, the conscience of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Sol was a faithful participant in Ann Arbor’s Palestine human rights vigils, every Saturday morning outside Beth Israel Congregation. He was a founding member of Jewish Witnesses for Peace and Friends. 

Sol stood with the hundreds of Ann Arborites who asked the People’s Food Co-op to adopt a humanitarian boycott against all Israeli goods.

At their request, Sol often carried his photo of Palestinian women sitting in the rubble, after the Israeli military demolished their home.

What do you do with a violent, racist apartheid state like "Israel"?

You boycott it until it's abolished.

Apartheid South Africa was abolished.

Apartheid "Israel" is next.
