JNS.org – A Cleveland gas station owned by a Palestinian American is drawing attention for a series of grotesque anti-Israel and anti-Semitic murals featured on its walls.
The gas station and convenience store called Biggie’s, located on East 55th Street and Cedar Ave in Cleveland, is owned by Palestinian-American Brahim “Abe” Ayad, who has been the target of criticism for several years due to the hateful images, the Cleveland Jewish News reported.
One of the most offensive images is that of a so-called “Talmudic Priest” wearing a yarmulke while circumcising an infant with his teeth, accompanied by the words “sex with minors permitted.”
In a recent interview with Cleveland’s Action News 19, Ayad said he was actually disturbed by the image, even though he allowed it to be painted on his gas station’s wall.
“Yes, I am—actually, I am very—but that is all I have to say,” Ayad said.
The gas station also sits across the street from George Washington Carver elementary school, where one of the murals can be clearly seen from the playground, Action News 19 reported.
According to additional images posted by the Elder of Ziyon blog, the other pictures blame Israel for the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, and accuse Jews of “killing Jesus” and of controlling American foreign policy.
Don't think he went "out of his way." That's just a reflection of the milieu he grew up in as a "Palestinian."
evidently he never got out much.......to ezperience the real world
“owever, when societal breakdown occurs, profiling will occur.”
Guess I’ll have to make sure I shoot first.
How fast would the Feds step in if this were a Christian store owner insulting Islam?
Not just angry, but also VERY disappointed with the so called "Jewish Community" leaders. Black "leaders" may not be interested if they agree with the "art" deep down.
It's important that the First Amendment be upheld, and the government NOT crack down on them. On the other hand, the First Amendment protects people against a government crack down, but NOT against the public's decision not to do business with these a$$hats. Just as this a$$hat has the right to "speak his "mind," so does the community, and I'd LOVE to see him go out of business for lack of customers.
I'm a strong believer in "freedom of speech," especially the nasty type. It's better to be able to see your enemies, then allow them to fester in private.

But you'd have to find a leftist who didn't hate Jews, and that's pretty hard to find.

Ive seen similar images in so called “palestine” but never thought Id see any such trash in the USA!!
if those were anti black ...”propaganda” his place would have burned down in hours
Disgusting.
I think you just put your finger on the real problem. I know it's considered a taboo to say this in some circles, but the truth is, statistically speaking, the most anti-Semitic ethnic-religious-cultural demographic in the US are Arab Moslems, followed in second place by African-Americans.
Here, an Arab-Moslem anti-Semite is taking advantage of the fact that, in a predominantly black neighborhood, (some) "Black leaders may not be interested."
Why do anything about it? People want to buy gas and motor oil, and maybe road munchies. He gives them half baked propaganda, but the art work is good. I predict he’ll close down within a year, and claim that the Elders of Zion dood it to him, until the NEA funds it as an exhibit.

The community obviously supports it or it would not last very long
See: almost any Japanese anime these days for cartoon children and sex.
It's a busy road with a lot of through traffic. If I recall, that location always had creative signs. You'd think someone would've said something as soon as that sign went up.
Ironic this is a Gas Station with the Anti War display.
Can you say “Blood For Oil”
Yet another gift to us from the Open Borders crowd.
Jesse and Al might find fault, but they would get it corrected in a low key way if they could. They'd prefer not to alienate their ant-Semitic, anti-Israel radical Islamic buddies.
After all, if the fuel supplier's truck is in the station pumping away it might get blown to smithereens if some molotov cocktails are tossed at the pumps from some speeding car just passing by.
