  2. - Billboard on Rt 17 in the Catskills "say No to the WZO" advertising the call of gedolei Yisrael not join with the World Zionist Organization and Eretz Hakodesh faction

    Ironically, Jews acting like they own Route 17 may be causing the chillul Hashem they are trying to avoid. Whoever placed the billboard added a huge picture of R' Feldman and other visibly Ultra Orthodox Rabbis. Along with the Anti-Israel wording of the ad, it frankly comes across as self hating to all the non-Jews passing, who have zero idea what the controversy is.

    1. For decades, there were billboards "casinos mean jobs" advocating for gambling casinos in the hotels in the Catskills.
      Now the hotels are gone, and gambling isn't bringing in much money.
      Moral of the story: advertising on RT 17 (it's I-78, or will be soon) is meaningless.
