Anti Israel posters go up at New York train stations.

The
Palestinian Israeli conflict has reached a dangerous level in New York.
Hateful anti Israel posters were bought and allowed to be posted in New
York train stations.

The
provocative posters on display in the platforms of Metro-North New York
trains that show continuing decreasing land for Palestinians in Israel.
The posters have alarmed a leader in the Jewish community who said the
posters can lead to acts of hatred.

"This
is anti-Semitic, because when people think of Israel they think of Jews
and the Jewish state," says Dovid Efune, editor of a Jewish newspaper
based in Manhattan. "Jews have seen this happen many times. It always
starts with a message that says Jews are committing a crime."

The ads feature
a series of diminishing Palestinian territory into four maps and
contain a holder that says approximately 4.7 million Palestinians are classified as refugees by the United Nations. The

posters were paid by an 84-year-old former Wall Street financier who lives in Connecticut.

"If
the facts are inflammatory, so they are inflammatory," says Henry
Clifford, the chairman of a 10-member group called the Committee for
Peace in Israel and Palestine. "The whole Middle East is infected with
the virus of the Arab-Israeli conflict. People need to know the truth of the matter."

Clifford
said he paid $25,000 through an advertising agency to run the posters
at up to 10 stations of Metro-North Railroad, including White Plains and
Chappaqua, but it was unclear at what other stations they were
published.
