“While agreeing with U.S. District Court’s ruling that the placement of the AFDI ad in

the New York Subway system is protected under the First Amendment to the

Constitution, nonetheless, we find the ad’s content to be decidedly prejudiced and

dangerously inflammatory. The broad mainstream of the New York Jewish community

does not equate its unwavering support for Israel with intolerance for Muslims or their

faith. We will continue our work with leaders of the Muslim and other faith and ethnic

communities within the demographic diversity of New York to strengthen the communal
collective and improve the quality of life for all.”
