Tel Aviv is to Jerusalem as Freedom is to Decency?

Do we find objectionable the calumny in the Im Tirtzu billboards, and should such billboards and posters be banned in the public square? Which city got it right? Tel Aviv-Jaffa, which privileged freedom of expression over public decorum and, perhaps, public safety. Or Jerusalem, which privileged public decency and sensitivity to the dangers of incitement, over the right to free speech, no matter how obnoxious it may be. Do we learn anything about the two cities from their different attitudes towards the offensive Im Tirtzu billboards?

This is a segment from The “I’m Not Your Toy (But Nix the Joy)!” Edition.

    Guys, you are with your program promoting ideas and organizations that trying to make Israel weak and bring it it’s knees.
    Why do you even bother about teaching Hebrew to others? If you don’t realize that Judea and Samaria has been occupied by illegal Jordanian settlers,, that israel does not have a piece partner, that giving away land brought to Israelis nothing but death, who are you and what’s your goal?.
    You either paid well for what you are doing or you are incredibly naive.
