A war of billboard advertisements broke out last week between pro-Palestinian Authority (PA) and pro-Israel groups in Texas. Two pro-Israel groups put up two giant roadside billboards bearing the message: “Save Gaza from Hamas. Teach peace, not hate.” The signs featured a picture of an Arab and an Israeli boy sitting arm-in-arm and smiling. Organizers said it was a response to an earlier roadside campaign by a pro-PA group under the banner “Pray for Gaza” which featured crying Arab children.
The pro-PA signs were put up throughout the city after January’s Operation Cast Lead by an organization called the “Houston Coalition for Justice and Peace in Palestine.”
