It Was Jews That Pushed to Have Crosses Removed From Florida Roadsides! Jews Object to Christian Symbols!

we've tried to reach a compromise between the department's

And low and behold I found that my suspicions were right on target! I
offer proof right after the following article. In the words of Jews
themselves let them be judged!

Florida Department of Transportation to Resume Highway Safety Memorial
Marker Program in March
TALLAHASSEE--The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will
resume its highway safety memorial marker program by March 31 after
redesigning a new marker that continues the department's highway
safety awareness policy and allows people to memorialize the loss of a
friend or loved one killed in a vehicle-related crash.
"Right from the start, we've tried to reach a compromise between the
department's safety-related program and the sensitivities of the
community," said FDOT Secretary Ben Watts.

we've tried to reach a compromise between the department's
safety-related program and the sensitivities of the community,"

"We believe we've achieved that goal with our new marker that will
heighten the public's awareness of highway safety as they drive along
the state's roadways."
The newly-designed marker (see below) will replace existing,
unauthorized memorials on the state's rights of way only if requested
by family members or friends of a crash fatality victim. Although all
unauthorized memorials will continue to be removed, every effort will
be made to contact the family or friends of the crash victim to return
their personal memorial and give them the opportunity to request a
FDOT-installed marker.
The department suspended placing new markers along the state's
highways January 10 due to the concern of some Floridians who
perceived the previously designed marker to be a religious symbol
rather than an internationally recognized safety symbol as FDOT had
intended.
The new memorial markers will be allowed to remain for a minimum of
one year. However, they will not be permitted within the limits of
active construction zones.

Florida scraps plan to erect crosses at car-death sites
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- In response to the Florida Jewish community's
complaints of insensitivity, the state's Department of Transportation
has scrapped plans to use a cross as its official roadside memorial
marker.
In a state that is home to some of the most treacherous roads in the
country, the transportation department decided last year to begin
clearing away some of the shrines erected at the sites of traffic
fatalities.
Saying that some of the elaborate homemade markers were potential road
hazards, Florida decided to begin using a cross, similar to a Red
Cross emblem, as a universal memorial symbol.
Jewish groups charged that the symbol too closely resembled the
Christian cross and urged the state to either adopt a nonsectarian
symbol or be prepared to honor requests from people of different
faiths.
"We felt this policy trampled on the rights of all non-Christians,
that it offended many who are Christian and don't believe the state
should be in the memorial business, and that it violated the spirit
and possibly the letter of the First Amendment," said Jack Lipsey,
president of the American Jewish Committee's South Central Florida
region.
Under the policy, implemented Jan. 1 and dropped last week, Jewish
families would have been barred from erecting Stars of David at
accident sites in memory of loved ones.
Florida abandoned the policy in the face of objections from Jewish and
civil liberties organizations. There were also threats of a lawsuit.
"It was never our intention to offend anyone with our new policy," Ben
Watts, Florida's secretary of transportation, said in a statement. "We
simply want to make motorists more aware of highway safety when they
drive by the memorial markers."
The department will now attempt to design a new memorial marker, Watts
said. Proposals include a simple wooden post with room for a plaque.
Jack Karako, southeast regional director of the American Jewish
Congress, said he still questions whether the state should be in the
business of using taxpayer money to erect highway memorials.
He said, however, that as long as no one has any objection, "certainly
a nondenominational marker is something that's probably a good
compromise that will not offend anyone else."

Jewish, Polish Leaders Sign Auschwitz Museum Preservation Plan
By MONIKA SCISLOWSKA Associated Press Writer
March 05, 1997
WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Crowning years of work, Jewish and Polish
leaders signed a $93.5-million agreement Wednesday to expand and
preserve the Auschwitz Museum at the site of the notorious former Nazi
death camp.
[ ... ]
Lerman and Israel Gutman, vice chairman of the Auschwitz Museum's
international council, headed a Jewish group that has been holding
talks with Polish officials on the museum.
Lerman said that people living on or near the museum premises will be
treated "humanely" as the project is implemented.
"We do not intend to come in with a bulldozer," he said.
Gutman said the declaration culminates years of talks on how to best
preserve the Auschwitz Museum, a "symbol of the great tragedy, an
accusation and a warning against the dangers in political life and in
man himself."
"It is a great lesson of history for the new generations," he added.
A solution is still being sought to the sensitive issue of religious
symbols around the museum. Jews oppose the presence of the Christian
crosses, while the Roman Catholic church says they commemorate the
suffering of all Auschwitz victims, Jews and Christians.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Read again the "bottom line" in the last paragraph which states: "Jews
oppose the presence of the Christian crosses.." What does this tell
you all?

If Florida wants a non-denominational, universally understood marker for traffic-fatality markers, why not use a picture of a skull? One thing unclear from the articles is whether the markers are intended to be PRIMARILY warnings or memorials.

You ignorant christers still can't through your thick skulls that 70% of the population are
NOT christers! What part of 30% minority don't you understand? What kind of wild-eyed
arrogance drives you into thinking that you call the shots?
