Messages disparaging Israel and described as antisemitic appeared on a billboard in Chicago’s north suburbs on Wednesday.
The messages appeared on a billboard near Interstate 294 between Lake Cook Road and Deerfield Road near Northbrook and included one that said "F*** Israel" and another that read "Death to Israel," according to U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider. OutFront Media, which owns the billboard, confirmed the incident on Wednesday and said the copy had been removed and that the situation was being investigated.
Schneider said he was "aware of the hateful, antisemitic billboard signs located on Edens Spur Tollroad in Northbrook, one that says ‘F*$% ISRAEL’ and one that reads ‘DEATH TO ISRAEL.’ This disgusting, intimidating display has no place in the 10th District, or anywhere in America."
