SEATTLE (CN) - The ACLU plans to challenge a federal ruling that approved a county decision to pull bus ads critical of Israel's policies. Opponents of the ads had threatened, "You want war against the Jewish people? You got it."
The ACLU argued in federal court that the First Amendment guaranteed the right of political activists who bought ad space on local buses calling Israel's actions in Gaza "war crimes." After receiving a number of complaints, officials for King County reversed their approval of the ads and refused to put them up, claiming it was to protect the bus service. www.courthousenews.com/2011/10/11/40527.htm
