New Billboard in Detroit Michigan

New Billboard in Detroit Michigan And topping this half hour, a new billboard in Detroit causing a lot of controversy. You can see the sign. It reads America First, Not Israel. And is it meant to be anti-semitic or something else entirely? Let's go live to Action News reporter Camille Amiri with more on this story. Camille. Well, Carol, and that is the million dollar question, what exactly does the statement on this billboard mean? And it really is up for interpretation because we don't have a definitive answer from the organization who put the billboard up. However, we did do some digging. The billboard is referencing an incident that occurred in 1948 in the Arab village of Deir Yassin on the west side of Jerusalem. The village was attacked and more than 100 men, women and children were killed by Zionist paramilitary groups. This particular sign goes a step further and raises an old anti-semitic canard of dual loyalty, implying that Jews are not loyal to the country in which they live. Make no mistake, that while many of the Jewish people in the United States support the state of Israel as a Jewish state, we are loyal Americans. Now, I did reach out to the organization who had this billboard put up. The state of New York. And uh, so far, no one has gotten back to me. Of course, we'll let you know when if they do call me back and get a more definitive answer on what exactly this billboard being. For now, we're reporting live, Camille Amiri, Seven Action News. All right, thank you much. Camille.
