“Miami Beach Commissioner Faces Backlash for Billboard Attack”

24 DAILY NEWS – A city official in Miami Beach, Florida, is under scrutiny for expenditures related to billboard trucks that targeted members of an anti-Zionist Jewish group, as outlined in a recent federal court filing.

### Allegations Against David Suarez

David Suarez, a city commissioner for Miami Beach, allegedly hired the billboard trucks to circulate messages accusing the Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) of being an “extremist group.” The trucks specifically named members Alan Levine and Donna Nevel, labeling them as “Jew Hater.” These events occurred during a JVP demonstration outside the Art Basel festival in December.

### Context of the Protests

The trucks made their appearance as JVP and other Palestine solidarity organizations protested Art Basel, a tradition that began in 2023. Activists have consistently voiced their opposition, advocating for a boycott due to financial connections between Art Basel sponsor UBS and Elbit Systems, an Israeli weapons manufacturer.
