You'd have to wonder if they could still display the 'ad' if the message was other way around, something equally provoking like
" Support the Jihadist,
Defeat Zionism"
MTA initially refused to run the ads citing "demeaning language". The 'American Freedom Defense Initiative' went to the court and won permission on First Amendment grounds. So MTA has now changed their guidelines again to prohibit ads that it “reasonably foresees would imminently incite or provoke violence or other immediate breach of the peace.”
