| [Arutz 7] - A member of an Ann Arbor synagogue has filed a federal lawsuit against anti-Israel protesters and the Michigan city over weekly demonstrations that have been held since 2003. Marvin Gerber, a member of the Beth Israel Congregation, filed an 85-page complaint last week in U.S. District Court, mlive reported. The lawsuit, which claims the demonstrations amount to anti-Semitic hate speech, asks the court for an injunction to stop the protesters, calling the demonstrations "harassing conduct," or to place limits on them. He also is requesting a jury trial and is seeking damages from the protesters and the city for emotional distress.
The six to 12 protesters who show up between about 9:30 and 11:30 during Saturday morning services and stand on the sidewalk outside of the synagogue each week plant signs on the grass that read "Resist Jewish Power," "Jewish Power Corrupts," "No More Holocaust Movies,"

| #1 ...Hmmm. Ann Arbor, they say. IIRC, Ann Arbor is a one-business company town, and the company is the University of Michigan, plus you have the strongly Islamic enclave of Dearborn not far from there. Can't imagine where anti-Israel sentiment would be coming from. Mike |
