Disturbing anti-Israel ads are continuing to pop up on city subway trains, leaving red-faced MTA officials fuming, The Post has learned.
“Free Palestine. The US spends your tax money on a genocide in Gaza,” one professional-looking poster spotted on an F train this week reads. “Read up. Get Organized. Fight back.”
A QR code on the ad links to a Spotify interview with controversial Palestinian organizer and activist Yara Shoufani.
“[The MTA] are dragging their feet. It’s just as bad as when we initially complained about it,” he said, referring to other anti-Israel ads — including one reading “Israel Bombs. USA Pays. How many kids did you kill today?” — that the group flagged to the transit agency months ago.
“They have a legal responsibility not to harass or discriminate against Jews,” Felitti said, noting those behind the rogue ads are “not targeting the Russians for genocide. They’re not targeting the Chinese. It’s just Israel.”
