I was reading an article on Haaretz when an advert on the page - a paid one, in all likelihood - displayed the delightful images below:

If it's not too clear, allow me to describe it:
In white bleeding caps, the caption says "ISLAM CONQUERS JERUSALEM", above a view of the Old City. Second later, the daytime scene darkens - night - and then suddenly becomes that of a Jerusalem in flames.
The message couldn't be clearer, obviously.
Clicking on it leads you to an Arab-hating, Jewish supremacist website. More precisely, it takes you to a post that advocates the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and stating that Israeli statehood should be crafted "in the blood of our enemies". Delightful, isn't it?
(interestingly, this post does recognise that Arabs are the indigenous population of Palestine, and that Jews are the 'colonizers'. Perhaps we agree on something after all).
There is is plenty of such hate speech on internet. Racists with a computer are a dime a dozen. However, I find appalling that the advert would show this bluntly on Haaretz, supposedly the only newspaper with a brain (and journalistic ethics) in Israel.
(Just so we're clear: Yediot is a populist newspaper, Maariv copies Yediot, and Israel Hayom is a Likud mouthpiece).
Especially that the website in question proudly states that it's been banned Google AdSense for "unacceptable content" and "advocating against a group", Adbrite shut their account, and Amazon deleted their reviews.
Why is Haaretz allowing this hateful message on their website? do they need screen for the content they advertise? Are they so desperate for the cash? Or do their commercial and editorial departments find it alright to encourage ethnic cleansing?
Shame on you, Haaretz.
So your action is needed! Contact Haaretz and ask them to remove hateful adverts from their website:

I can proudly say that I have reported them to Google Adsense :)
Good job, Khaled. I called my complaint in. As appalling as the content is, it is equally appalling to find out that at "liberal" Haaretz, money can trump scruples.
guys, with all due respect, have you tried emailing Haaretz? this is the response I got:
"Dear Yishay,
Thank you for your comment. This ad indeed violates our guidelines. The commercial department has been informed and will remove the ad within the next few hours.
Regards,
Gadi Lahav
Director of Internet Content and Chief Editor,
Haaretz Internet Sites"
sounds good enough to me.
I just checked and the ad seems to be gone. Wow, good for you Mo-ha-med and Yishay and others who "alerted" Haaretz. Watchdogging at its best.
Wow, this works! :)
(though I'm yet to receive a response myself).

we have been calling the pigs and monkeys on national television for decades now! not to mention inherent racism in our every day speak ie 'howa mal yahood' even our astute prince alaa (may he and the crown prince live long and prosper!) used one of those 'yahood' comments during his storied soccer rants.
is the add racist yes, but will i scream gottcha no! imo what haaretz did happens everyday in our media.

Thanks Anon, but we have already figured it all out. You can grow rich in the Middle East without investing much, in fact almost without investing anything. Check this thread. A dealership reselling artificial Chinese hymens and vaginas supported by a convincing advertising campaign and don't forget Lirun for managing PR. Your offshore structure with advanced asset management technologies in production and delivery of pipes for oil and gas can only suck ass compared to this business.
I know. Besides, we've already tried this oil business is the middle east, and it's been a pain in the ass. Nobody - we def need to follow up on that. Given that even the egyptian postal service ain't that dumb, I can't ship the required material directly. We need an offshore company somewhere. Cyprus?
Hmmm Lets see what's going on with this Islamic conquest of Jerusalem. This may actually open up new smuggling routes across the region. Certainly in matters of delivery even the Bedouins are more reliable than the Egyptian postal service
