[Peace] Fwd: Zionist propaganda in the DI!

[Brian Hagy]

maybe we should create some ads to go with it, such as pictures of
lynchings in the south, to show how "bad" those "blacks" are and need to
be punished, and pictures of people after hiroshima with a headline "they
got what they deserved, since they attacked us first", and so forth.  the
idea here is not to promote racism, but to draw upon history, reminding
people of all the horrible times things done out of racist ideals.  find
those images where people clearly today recognize how wrong the old
viewpoint was.  put these ads up next to the ads to be presented in the
daily illini by the One Truth group.  give a visual argument against their
ads.  not sure if this is appropriate, but then, neither are their ads.

perhaps this might light some new fires for aware?
