The Palestinian Israeli conflict has reached a dangerous level in New York. Hateful anti Israel posters were bought and allowed to be posted in New York train stations.

The provocative posters on display in the platforms of Metro-North New York trains that show continuing decreasing land for Palestinians in Israel. The posters have alarmed a leader in the Jewish community who said the posters can lead to acts of hatred.

"This is anti-Semitic, because when people think of Israel they think of Jews and the Jewish state," says Dovid Efune, editor of a Jewish newspaper based in Manhattan. "Jews have seen this happen many times. It always starts with a message that says Jews are committing a crime."
The ads feature a series of diminishing Palestinian territory into four maps and contain a holder that says approximately 4.7 million Palestinians are classified as refugees by the United Nations. The
posters were paid by an 84-year-old former Wall Street financier who lives in Connecticut.

"If the facts are inflammatory, so they are inflammatory," says Henry Clifford, the chairman of a 10-member group called the Committee for Peace in Israel and Palestine. "The whole Middle East is infected with the virus of the Arab-Israeli conflict. People need to know the truth of the matter."

Clifford said he paid $25,000 through an advertising agency to run the posters at up to 10 stations of Metro-North Railroad, including White Plains and Chappaqua, but it was unclear at what other stations they were published.
