The legal term for what she is doing is "vandalism" because she is defacing another's property. It is an act of civil disobedience, and though I agree with her actions, there will be legal ramifications.

If I see any of these posters I will cut them down and take the punishment. I don't see any other way around it, so I'll take the handcuffs rather than let **** of that nature go. I don't have enough room in my attic for more than one Muslim family, so I'd rather stop the racism here and now.

Thanks for your support.

I just don't understand how people can be allowed to put racist adverts like that up in the first place.

Surely that's a bigger crime than vandalism.

There's clearly a problem in the way public posters or advertising of that kind is screened and vetted prior to being put out in public view.

It's strange that people can be allowed to advertise racist propaganda inciting hatred against the Palestinian people who have already gone through over 50 years of occupation and oppression of all kinds but yet when someone tries to cover it up, it's seen as vandalism and an infringement of the right to freedom of speech.

Maybe I'm missing something here?

The oppressor is claiming to be civilised?
 
The "civilized" west is showing its true color. Hypocrisy at its best. Do people actually believe that we have freedom of speech?

Just because you have freedom of expression doesn't mean you can go around vandalizing other people's posters. That has nothing to do with hypocrisy.

It would have been hypocrisy if a similar poster but with an ending of "Support the Palestinians" would have been banned. I do not believe that would have been the case, as that would have been unconstitutional and no judge would have allowed it.

Well, that is the nature of freedom of speech, namely that the government may not ban such posters. Racism (if this is racism, that is debatable!) is not a crime under US law, as there are no such things as thought crimes in the US legal system. It is not thought to be the responsibility of the government to decide what is good and bad in political speech.

People who want to see this changed need to be careful what they wish for, as these laws can be just as easily be used against them and their beliefs.
 
Yes that is the sad nature of selective freedom of speech. The type that is reserved only for certain groups of people, namely non muslims.

In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad

If the statement made in the poster is not racist then at the very least it certainly is trying to suggest that Paestinians are all savages by default and without any provocation and oppression on Israel's part. This is clearly not the case and the above statement is clearly a lie and a type of half-truth.

It's a lie because it is suggesting that Palestinians are savages without mentioning how they have been oppressed for the last 50 years and pushed to the point where they are doing things which under normal circumstances would not be considered reasonable. The only difference is that they are not living in normal conditions like most people enjoy in the West. They have been living in very oppressive conditions for the last 50 years.

It's a lie because it is public knowledge that Israel have been committing atrocities against the Palestinians for over 50 years. They were the first people to use violence and force to achieve their aims. Look into the history of
Palestine.

The U.N. have even admitted that Israeli occupation of Palestine is illegal but they have been standing by watching Israel oppress, rape and murder hundreds of Palestinians over the years without taking any action against them.

It's a mis-information to imply that Palestinians are savages but not acknowledge that the world has turned a blind eye to the oppression against the Palestinians and Israel's role in oppressing the Palestinians to the point where they are forced to do whatever they can to survive.

There was a time when the word "Negro" was not considered a racist term and a time when black people were not allowed to enter public places but after some black people took a stand, people had to accept them as human beings with the same rights as others (at least on paper, even in practice there's still a lot of racism towards blacks especially in America)

The problem with freedom of speech at the moment is that although it is made to appear that it allowed for any and everyone, the truth is that it is only allowed for non muslims.

They can say just about anything they want regardless of whether it is racist, discriminative or incites hatred towards other religions without any consequences. The moment a Muslim stands up for their rights, the law comes down on them with full force.

The people who want to see things changed are not asking for any special privileges apart from the same right to freedom of speech that is being allowed for everyone else because Muslims pay their taxes and contribute to their economies just like everyone else.
