Imagine if Jews did that with a "Jews for Israel" road sign in a Muslim neighborhood in Dearborn. We'd immediately be told to take it down because of "Islamaphobia".

"Melissa Brodsky notes
on Substack that a road was recently "adopted" in West Bloomfield, MI
by a group called "Voices for Palestinians" to be responsible for
cleaning it up.
"A sign was placed on the road at taxpayer expense to mark the portion adopted.
"When people or organizations adopt a road in Oakland County,
they get to choose from all available roads. So churches will typically
adopt a road near their facilities, or people will adopt one in memory
of a loved one who might have died in a traffic accident on that road.
"Out
of all the roads available in Oakland County, "Voices for Palestinians"
chose Orchard Lake Road between West Maple Road and Walnut Lake Road -
the epicenter of the Jewish community of West Bloomfield. There are at
least 8 synagogues and at least three Jewish schools plus Jewish
community centers and other Jewish organizations near that mile of road.
"Including Temple Israel, which was attacked last March by an Islamist terrorist. For Palestine.
"There are no mosques that I can find in that immediate area.
"Who
is "Voices for Palestinians?" I can find no mention of this group
anywhere. There are plenty of pro-Palestinian groups in the Detroit
metro area but this one seems to have no website, no social media
presence. No one ever heard of them before this sign was put up.
"This
is the only major road that hadn't already been adopted in the Jewish
neighborhood. The sign is northbound right at the entrance of the
Jewish community.
"It
is hard to escape the idea that this organization was created just to
get the county to put up the sign, with the primary purpose to
intimidate the Jewish community of West Bloomfield. It costs nothing,
except volunteering twice a year. (And if they don't show up, the sign
is still there for a year, so it does its job.)
"This is legal Jew-baiting."
