"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.
