Judge Allows Anti-Israel Protests Outside Ann Arbor Synagogue


(MLive-Michigan) Ryan Stanton - U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts on Aug. 19 dismissed a lawsuit over anti-Israel protests outside Beth Israel Congregation in Ann Arbor, ruling that "Peaceful protest speech such as this - on sidewalks and streets - is entitled to the highest level of constitutional protection, even if it disturbs, is offensive, and causes emotional distress." Anti-Israel protesters have demonstrated on Saturday mornings outside the synagogue for more than 16 years.
