You can sue for just about anything ... but winning is a different story. You got me curious. Do you have an example of an anti Jewish remark in an advertisement?

Pass the advertisement onto the Anti Defamation League of B'nai Brith. They know what to do with this vicious hate.They have extensive experience in this matter and have the funds to launch and sustain any required litigation.
There are laws against such group calumny. Federal, (constitutional, and state). I do not have them to hand, but they are readily retrievable. (e.g. the 13'th. and 15'th ammendments to the Constitution, etc).
Boycott is another powerful weapon. The A.D.L. and other groups organised a nationwide boycott of the Ford Motor Co. to stop the notorious antisemite Henry Ford Sr. from publishing regular anti-
Jewish hate in his newspaper, the Dearborn Advocate, in the early and middle 1930's. He was forced to stop after the company was driven close to bankruptcy.
Subsequent Ford family members (& the Ford Motor Company), have made their peace with the Jewish community.
The noted1940's persoanality Clifton Fadiman hid some antisemitic hate messages in the border of the front page of a national magazine.(I forget which one). It was discovered. The magasine apologised and Mr. Fadiman was summarily fired, and his career was quickly over after that odious stunt. This stunt was done a year or two after the discovery of the European Holocaust.
You probably would not make any money but it can be stopped.

properly Mike I accept as true with you that glaring insults to at least one aspect or the different are not any more conducive to any element and desire to be stated proper this second, I assist you totally in this. you've were given talked about that i in my opinion chorus from posting any remark to such insolent feedback. yet i'd also no longer propose going as far as attempting to silence the voices of others with diverse reviews no matter if you concentration on those reviews incorrect or a delusion. i imagine attempting to divulge what you concentration on falasities utilising logical debate and convincing arguments a significantly better way. i wager you would accept as true with me that there is a huge large difference between asking "If Arabs scent like goats" and "Do Jews administration western Media?". Its no longer the very similar element. Cheers

Why not sue them for some other stupid thing. You have to prove that it is anti-semetic, and that they where intentionally aimed at YOU!
You would have better luck at some other tortuous lawsuit.

Only individually can we and do we, choose not to hate, or not to be ignorant, or not to be racist, no law or legislation can do that, or choose that, for us. It is too great an infringement on our Liberty, to have to be selective of every word that we choose, just so we do not offend anyone. People do not have to listen to people they find offensive, or read what people have written if they find it offensive, or watch entertainment they find offensive, or look at art they find offensive. They have the power and the right to censor for themselves, but not others or society. We need to get back to the place where we once were in this Country. When people were willing to fight and die to give liberty and freedom to everyone, and not just the people they agreed with.


The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are not there to protect different groups of people or minority groups of people and give them special rights. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are there to Protect Everyone Equally as Individuals, as a Minority of 1, the Smallest Minority on Earth, with Equal Justice, Equal Laws, Equal Rights, and Equal Freedom for Everyone Individually. Justice needs to be blind to race, and all forms of social prejudice to protect everybody equally as individuals, to protect our individual Rights and freedoms from being trampled on by the abuses of power, of the instruments of government, or by the tyranny of the majority, or even smaller groups of people, who want to limit what we can say, write, create, think, or feel.


We have to have the power to be free, to say what we like, to write what we like, to think what we like, to create what we like, and to feel what we like. We have to have the power to control our feelings, and our lives. We have to have free-will, and the power of self-determination over our own lives and destiny, to take responsibility for ourselves and not have the Government or others tell us what we should say, write, think, create or feel. To make up our own minds about what we think is right, and not necessarily what others or a collective group think is right. We have to be our own person, to choose our own way, to control our own thoughts and feeling, to live our lives in freedom and liberty, to be individual and free. We need to be forever vigilance, to be free, and stay forever free, in the Freest Nation on Earth.
