Appeal filed after federal court finding that synagogue protests protected speech

Jewish groups are asking the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals for a rehearing of a case aiming to block protesters at a synagogue in Ann Arbor. The protesters have been a fixture at the synagogue since 2003 raising signs with slogans including “Jewish Power Corrupts” and “No More Holocaust Movies.” The groups said the protesters used “epithets” and “fighting words” that could lead to violence, vandalism, injury and death.

The 6th Circuit upheld in September a lower court ruling that found the protests were protected speech in a public setting. (Arutz Sheva, Israel National News, October 18, 2021, by Staff)
