SEATTLE – “Israeli War Crimes,” the enormous advertisement reads. “Your tax dollars at work.” To the right of the image is a group of children — one little boy stares out at the viewer, the others gawk at a demolished building, all rebar and crumbled concrete. It’s an ad you’ll be seeing soon on a handful of Metro buses in downtown Seattle.
A group calling itself the Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign has paid King County $1,794 so that 12 buses will carry that message around town, starting two days after Christmas. That’s December 27: the two-year anniversary of Israeli attacks on Gaza, aimed at stopping rocket attacks and weapons smuggling.

It's $1800 for 30 days.
You should hear the radio interviews about this topic. It's ridiculous! The Pro-Israel side said it's going to incite violent crime against the Jewish community. For those who aren't aware, there was a shooting in Seattle two years ago at the Jewish Community Center where 6 women were shot, one fatally.
So opponents of the signs are saying the billboards are going to incite more violence like that.
