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.
Isn’t there a local Chabad who can get a few gallons of white paint at their local Lowes and get to work at 3am?
you love this gas station and what it stands for? What if he depicted Jesus with his lips around a child’s genitalia..would you have the same respect?
Right on target!
Good Shabbos
You have misunderstood what I said, it stands for free speech, that is what I like about it.
When Americans grow a pair they will start to push back against Islam and the fascist state, until then I will embrace liberty and the little that remains here where ever I find it.
Besides, in the last days it will be worse then this, we will be slaughtered in the streets by those who worship the beast.
Another point, unless they are allowed to print crap like this others cannot see who they are, relax, God is in control.
Despite the fact that they’ve been up for several years, I don’t think they’ll stay in business for long. The mural posits that America is in a deep recession, while Israel’s economy thrives. The underlying assumption of that statement is that prosperity is a zero-sum game. I.e, If Israel prospers while America stagnates, it must be because Israel took something away from America and the dead children of Ghaza in order to become prosperous. But that calls the existence of Bigie’s into question. If Bigie’s prospers while the black community around it stagnates, by the same non-logic of its own mural, it must be taking something away from the black community. Blacks in America are sometimes shockingly anti-Semitic, but they resent Asian store-owners just as much as they do Jewish, and that includes Arabs. The anti-Jewish murals are probably all that’s keeping them from being boycotted right now, just for being themselves (outsiders) + some damned incident or other to serve as a pretext. The store will not prosper long, murals or no.
These are the same folks (Arab-American-Paleostinians) who danced in the streets and passed out sweets on Sept. 11th...need I say more?
Absolutely!
After the Six Day War of 1967 and the late 60’s radicalization of the AA Community they utterly rejected the Jews, spit in their faces and sided with the PLO. At the same time, they identified with the Muslims via Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X. This was a shame as the Baptist Church and the Jewish community had a strong bond. What the AAs forget is that Islam STILL practices slavery and discrimination while the Jews have moved onwards and upwards.
This does not apply to the entire AA Community, but applies to enough of it to make blacks in the US statistically almost four times more likely than whites to harbor anti-Semitic views, according to an Anti-Defeamation League study about a decade ago.
Don’t see how I misunderstood what you said since you just repeated it almost verbatim.
So you are against free speech and you fail to see that the only way some in our country will see them as the really are is to let them speak..
So would you like for me not to post that I support their right to free speech so I should STFU too..
Wow..a little defensive. Where in that one sentence reply did I say you didn’t have a right to free speech? I asked you if you would feel the same “pride” if the pictures depicted Jesus Christ molesting a young baby. But you never answered that question.

You have attempted to twist what I have said, yes, I would be happy for it to say whatever you want to propose it to say. First of all free speech is one of the corner stones of what was once America.
Second, the only way for moron Americans to see and understand what these idiots stand for is to let them post whatever they will.
Fearing they may convert others to what they believe is dumb.
Besides, in the last days, ALL christian’s will suffer at the hands of the anti-Christ and his followers, so why are you surprised.
