What Does That Say?

So I was walking down Houston street when a very nice NYU undergraduate came up to me holding up a big sign that said, "Go! Get out of our Holy Land!"

Impervious to most sign waving, I didn't think much of this and I continued on my original quest -- the search for that knish place around the East side of Houston.

After a few feet (and one Diet Peach Snapple purchase later) I came across another young fellow, this time with a giant sign that read, "Down with Palestine!"

I looked at these two people who couldn't have been more than ten feet away from each other.

"Go! Get out of our Holy Land!"
"Down with Palestine!"
"Go! Get out of our Holy Land!"
"Down with Palestine!"
"Go! Get out of our Holy Land!"
"Down with Palestine!"

Both of these people were so impassioned by what they had written on their respective signs that it made me realize there is so much more to life than Diet Peach Snapple and knishes. So I quickly ran into a store and grabbed some supplies. I raced back out, scribbled the first thing that came into my mind and held the sign up high in the air for all to see.

I looked to my left: "Go! Get out of our Holy Land!"
I looked to my right: "Down with Palestine!"
I looked up at mine...

"Go Down on Sign Writing!"
