Also beware, these apparently have razor blades inside of them do anyone who tries to take them off gets injured.
unlikely to be illegal, the razor blades thing is an old fash trick but I haven’t heard any cases of it happening with these yet? Better yet make a “murdered palestinian children poster” and slap it up over these, much less likely to become someones stupid photo op
There’s been one single case of razors supposedly
“We must kill them with air strikes!”
Signed - Israel
these are just bait tbh, don’t be a photo op
What do you mean by being a photo?
Yes, when you take these down, they will use this as ammunition to legitimize their deranged claims of antisemitism, etc about people who are opposed to genocide.
Even if they don’t see you doing it, they will make videos about how they posted a sign and then it was removed. They don’t need to catch you to pretend that they are martyrs.
Is it more harmful to leave propaganda around though?
I’d rather not take the risk of giving them a viral photo op, not a lot of people are gonna read that paper anyway.
it’s not like there’s any constructive use for them anyway. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PERSON? CALL 1800-TIPLINE NOW
Not sure. My first instinct is also to take them down, but I figure videos and pictures that can be used as much more damaging and lasting forms of propaganda are something I shouldn’t give them the opportunity to gather from me.
It’s fucking dumb, but it’s the game that’s played and its successfully used to demonize leftists.
is the propaganda a swastika or a child. One of these is socially appropriate to remove
i don’t think it’s that big a deal. let them work themselves up into a lather.
Someone likely has a camera pointed at the poster.
In a public park?
Yes. Think about it. If you’re willing to put razor blades in it, taking a person’s photo in public is not exactly beyond them.
But are they going to be vigilating them 24/7?
Definitely not 24/7. But it’s gonna be hard to spot them unless they’re trying to provoke you
It’s the image of it, the optics let’s say
a photo op/opportunity
That opposition to the zionist entity is being misdirected toward ostensibly ‘peaceful’ claims of releasing prisoners should be noted. Shout and tear down islamophobic propaganda yes, but all you’re doing here is pulling down posters of kidnapped kids, which is exactly what the posters are designed to do.
Remove them after dark and using a tool like a knife to do the first few steps.
It’s generally legal so long as it isn’t private property.
PS legality is for dweebs so if someone you know is thinking of removing signs from private property, tell them that cool kids wear black bloc-ish clothes when doing so and do it after dark and when people aren’t around.
Whether or not it’s legal, just don’t get caught lol
A school by me put up a ton of chairs, I guess however many captives, with signs to “Bring them back!” in the big shared green space
But yeah, pro Palestine protests are effectively banned. Freeze peach and all that
Bourgeoisie free speech
In my locality, those would be illegally posted signs so I would just take them down. Check your local laws ig
It’s legal, but you’ll still be arrested for it
Wait, what? Why?
Cops don’t have to know the law, they’ll arrest you if you do something they dont like
Because cops in this country can murder you in your own home and get away with it, arresting you for no reaspn is literally trivial to them.
doesn’t matter, they’re duct taped to a tree they’re gonna fall off 2 seconds into the next rainstorm.
It is most likely legal to remove since they are attached to trees in the strip of land (apparently called a “road verge”?) that is public property. Where I live, the property line extends to the sidewalk and everything beyond that belongs to the city and the homeowner gets an easement in exchange for maintaining it. So campaign signs can legally be removed from medians and road verges, but not off private property.
It’s not illegal. It’s like putting up missing posters for Kony2012
They could have stayed home instead of moving to a genocidal fascist state. No sympathy :)
Try a centrist
bit and hang up a poster of killed Palestinians next to them.I was wondering why there was a spike in “piece of shit tries to rip down missing person poster” in all the right wing shithole subreddits.
The fact that it was just propoganda to stir up sympathy for a genocide instead of actual missing person poster makes entirely too much sense.
Also if you’re worried about razor blades just set it on fire
it’s literally just a piece of paper. you can wipe your ass with it as long as you do it in the bathroom.
also i say this every time this subject comes up but 99% of flyers aren’t bladed. it’s possible in the abstract, but unless you’ve seen a report about it happening in your city, just grab that shit and rip. especially if it’s just held there with 4 pieces of tape on a tree trunk.
It’s becoming gauche to see these as news comes out in the past month of the mounting civilian casualties of the war is now in 10,000+; it’s clear that Israel used Oct 7th as an excuse to level Gaza and if you’re not already on board with anti-Muslim and Arab hate, what goodwill towards the hostages then fizzles into tragic indifference.

This looks like a really shoddy posting job. Duct tape on a sheet protector, and attaching it to tree bark? They even obstructed the headline “kidnapped”. That could be taken down in 5 seconds.
-
I’d be really surprised if there are any cameras trained on it.
-
The razor blade trick works with wheatpasting on solid flat-ish surfaces. It doesn’t work so well on rounded wood or tree bark.
-
In a public place like this there’s nothing favoring the person who posted it. It’s not on their property; there is no legal consequence to taking it down.
