In 1621, when their labors were rewarded with a bountiful harvest after a year of sickness and scarcity, the Pilgrims gave thanks to God and celebrated His bounty in the Harvest Home tradition with feasting and sport (recreation). To these people of strong Christian faith, this was not merely a revel; it was also a joyous outpouring of gratitude. (Plimoth.org)

Our health, our wealth, and our gladness are all gifts from God. This Thanksgiving, remember to thank Him. Should you be so wretched as to be unable to give thanks, do not compound your misery by cursing Him. Such curses embitter the soul of him who utters them.

Give thanks for the rebukes the Lord brings to us, for without them how would we learn wisdom? Give thanks for the tribulations, for through them we learn our strength.

All glory is God’s. God bless America.

November 4, 2017 — 2 pm — Times Square

The TRUMP/Pence regime must go. ONLY the Commies are the people. And they are going to DRIVE OUT the TRUMP/Pence regime. So claimed Maoist, Sunsara Taylor, as she spoke to the ravening horde.

Anyone NOT a Communist is a Fascist, a Racist, and very definitely ANTI-Muslim. We are ALL Muslims (which requires lots of fist pumping).

Sunsara Taylor introduced Imam Konate Suleiman

(Allahu Akbar)

Sunsara presented a long list of HUMAN BEINGS, group after group.  A Trump supporter shouted out, “Are Trump supporters HUMAN BEINGS?” Silence in reply.

They have big plans:

The “United Against Nuclear Iran 2017” Summit attempted to probe that danger at the Roosevelt Hotel as the UN General Assembly convened nearby.

Read more about what the smart guys said about Persian nukes.

The day-long event of interviews and discussions examined the political and economic environment since the signing of the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran — with particular focus on Iran’s role in the region, its relationship with North Korea, and the future of Iran policy in the Trump administration.

Comprised of former diplomats and lawmakers, UANI is spearheading a global education campaign focused on the risks of doing business with Iran, warning hundreds of international companies that may be contemplating Tehran as a new investment opportunity.

United Against Nuclear Iran is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organization that seeks to prevent Iran from fulfilling its ambition to obtain nuclear weapons.

Read how the best laid intentions get savaged by the anti-Israel mob.

This was fantastic, yes?

Nope. These anti-Israel groups did not agree.

They organized an anti-Israel protest outside Carnegie Hall aimed at delegitimizing Israel.

Each year, anti-Zionists return to protest the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra [IPO]
(Reports of the same antics in 2011 and 2012.)

Fortunately, their lies and hateful anti-Semitism did NOT go unchallenged.

The Jewish Defence League and other Zionists were there to “Stand Up For Israel”
To “Stop the Lies” and “Stop the Hate!”

AM YISRAEL CHAI!

Flickr Slide show of both sides:

Some anti-Israel protest chants from Adalah NY and the other anti-Zionists:

Protest musical accompaniment — OUTSIDE Carnegie — was provided by the eponymous Rude Mechanical Orchestra. [Facebook]

Adalah, however, remains OFFENDED with the IPO representing Israel across the world. “Let the IPO know that apartheid is out of tune.“

“It [the IPO],” says Adalah,”serves as a cultural ambassador for the State of Israel, playing a public role in the official Israeli propaganda campaign. Brand Israel uses art and music to distract attention from Israel’s human rights ‘abuses’ and ‘ethnic cleansing’ of the ‘Palestinian’ people.”

Adalah claims that, “the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra is not an apolitical cultural institution.”

“We [Adalah and other anti-Zionists] are responding to the call from Palestinian civil society to boycott cultural institutions that are complicit in Israel’s systematic repression of the Palestinian people living under Israeli military occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as unequal citizens in Israel or as refugees denied their right of return to their homeland.”

Adalah was connected to the infamous Intifada NYC T-shirt in 2007.

Former Brooklyn Principal, Debbie Almontaser, defended the t-shirts, telling the NY Post that “intifada” meant “shaking off” that the shirts represented women “shaking off” oppression. Peace be upon you…

And now, the REAL STORY behind the Israel Philharmonic and its ORIGINS:

Since its inception in 1936, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra has been dedicated to presenting exceptional music to audiences in Israel and throughout the world. From its inaugural concert, conducted by Arturo Toscanini, world-renowned soloists and conductors have performed with the IPO.

On December 26, 1936, the Palestine Symphony played its first concert in Tel Aviv under the baton of Arturo Toscanini. A staunch anti-Fascist, the legendary conductor enthusiastically accepted Huberman’s request to join the Symphony as a demonstration against Nazism, declaring, “I am doing this for humanity.”

The public reception to this inaugural performance was overwhelming, with crowds standing outside near the windows and even climbing on rooftops in an attempt to hear the Symphony. The ovation at the end of the night lasted over 30 minutes.

The IPO is Israel’s foremost cultural ambassador and travels throughout the world, particularly to countries where there is little or no Israeli representation. In some cases, performances of the IPO are the only example of Israel’s existence.

“The goodwill created by these tours, which included historic visits to Japan, Argentina, Poland, Hungary, Russia, China and India, is of enormous value to the State of Israel.”

Unfortunately, the anti-Israel protests never stop; goodwill be damned.

COMING UP NEXT WEEK. I found two more anti-Israel events on November 2nd, 2017, which marks the one hundred year anniversary of the Balfour Declaration.

At 5:30 pm, outside Israeli Embassy at 42nd St. and 2nd Ave., a rally to “protest 100 years since the Balfour Declaration, to protest 100 years of colonization”, hosted by NYC Students for Justice in Palestine . The SJP claims that the Balfour Declaration was the first step toward the objective of political Zionism.

They will gather to protest the continued occupation of “Palestine” by Israeli Zionist forces.”

The LIES Never Stop.

The United Nations Palestinian Rights Committee cordially invites you to a lecture on the Balfour Declaration and the impact it has had on the Palestinian people.The lecture will be delivered by Professor Rashid Khalidi, the Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University and director of the Middle East Institute of Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs in the ECOSOC Chamber of the United Nations Secretariat in New York. It will bring together a broad range of participants, including members of the diplomatic community in New York, UN staff members, representatives of civil society organizations and the general public.

David Meyers

“Hey hey, ho ho. David Myers has got to go.”

David Myers called the founding of the State of Israel a NAKBA!

Over 200 people assembled in front of the stage set up on West 16th Street to hear speeches from AFSI’s Co-Executive Directors, Helen Freedman, Judy Freedman Kadish, JCCWatch.org President Richard Allen, ZOA’s Liz Berney, AFSI’s Charlie Bernhaut, Concerned Citizen’s Stewart Cahn, and Yom HaShoah Committee Chair Lynn Bursky-Tammam, along with rocking music by the trio of brothers, Pey Dalid.

The overall message:

We, the people, the grassroots, are here to speak up for TRUTH. Enough of the lies and falsehoods. Enough of the revisionist history. The time is NOW, as we stand before the Center of Jewish History — the home of five esteemed institutions – that has allowed itself to be trapped in a quagmire. With David Myers as CEO and President of the Center, it becomes the Center of Revised Jewish History, with the Jewish story, the Jewish entitlement — biblical, historic, and legal, lost in the fictions and distortions that he brings with him.

Myers has preached the “inevitable demise of Israel”. How dare he deny our 4000-year-old history, and Hashem’s promise to us that we are his chosen people, to whom he gave the Torah and the Land of Israel? How dare Myers speak about removing Israel as central to Jewish identity?

There is no other people that has always made Jerusalem its central core. In the midst of the joy of the Jewish wedding, the glass is shattered, reminding us of our connection to Yerushalayim.

Flickr slide show

Has David Myers been to the “settlements” in Judea and Samaria? Has he ever been on a trip such as an AFSI Chizuk mission, where we climb the hills of Itamar, Yitzhar, Kedumim, Elon Moreh, Shilo, Eli, and on and on? Has he met the people and seen their homes, schools, work places? If he has, then he knows there is no “occupation” and these are the biblical holy places, and NOT the West Bank. If not, then he must visit them before he condemns them.

Joining the protest hosted by AFSI and JCC Watch were the peaceful supporters from the New JDL-NY.

Flickr Slide show

All were there to support the State of Israel and to peacefully protest the egregious hiring of David Myers as CEO for the CJH. It is an outrage.

How dare David Myers excuse the evil terrorism of the Arabs which has been going on since the early 1900’s and continues on a daily basis today. He says that it is “frustration” driven. What drivel is that? What humanity is that? Do we excuse mass murderers because they are “frustrated?”

How dare David Myers rewrite Jewish history so that the Balfour Declaration of 1917 is questioned, the Israel victories of 1948 and 1967 are declared disasters, and a case of Israel “conquering” its own land, rather than re-claiming it?

We have to change the trajectory — anti-Israel propaganda against Israel cannot be tolerated – especially in an institution named THE CENTER FOR JEWISH HISTORY. The time is NOW!!

What history will David Meyers be teaching those who walk through those doors? What lies and defamations will he be promoting, disguised as historical facts? Will it be the propaganda of J Street, the New Israel Fund, BDS, If Not Now, Open Hillel  and the Academic Advisory Council of Scholars for Israel and Palestine? This is intolerable.

We denounce the evil of such teachings and plead with the Center of Jewish History to purge itself of this infection in its midst — FIRE MYERS — FIRE MYERS — FIRE MYERS!!

What can YOU do? It is URGENT that all those concerned should CONTACT THE CENTER FOR JEWISH HISTORY PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS AND ASK,”WHY AREN’T THEY PROTESTING AGAINST DAVID MYERS?”

The five organizations comprising the Center of Jewish History have been silent about David Myers’ ascendancy to the leadership of CJH. We must ask them, WHY?

• WHY are they silent when Myers believes Israel is an “occupier”?
• WHY are they silent when Myers is a supporter of Israel’s enemies such as J Street, New Israel Fund and If Not Now?
• WHY are they silent when Myers sees the Israeli victory of 1948 as the “wound of the Naqba” – Arab disaster?
• WHY are they silent when Myers believes that “the root cause of BDS is the “occupation” and “West Bank settlements”?

DAVID MYERS MUST RESIGN FROM CJH AND THE ANTI-ISRAEL BIAS AMONG ITS LEADERSHIP MUST BE EXPOSED AND EXPUNGED.

WE MUST NOT ALLOW CJH TO BE TAKEN OVER BY THOSE OPPOSING ISRAEL AND TRYING TO REWRITE JEWISH HISTORY.

CONTACT THE LEADERSHIP OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS AND ASK THEM, WHY?. After all, what’s more important than saving the Jewish Future and protecting Jewish History?

Mayor de Blasio, Gov. Cuomo wade into controversy in city’s Columbus Day Parade

A torrent of boos rained down on Mayor de Blasio as he walked in the Columbus Day Parade in Midtown Monday. Some New Yorkers at the celebration of the city’s Italian-American heritage were irate that de Blasio is considering removing the iconic statue of Christopher Columbus at Columbus Circle.  [NY Daily News]

But what I heard and saw was a lot of happiness, particularly when they saw the “Save the Columbus Statue” signs.

The usual suspects have discovered that Christopher Columbus was no 21st century liberal. Of course, that shouldn’t surprise anyone since he lived in a time of empires, slavery, monarchies, and ignorance. But he rose above his time and literally united the world. Without him there would be no America, no us.

We don’t celebrate Columbus for his failings, including holding once common beliefs which we rightly have come to abhor. We celebrate him for his unique, even heroic, virtues. We celebrate him for having helped make the modern world. [Townhall]

NYC Italian-Americans: Save Columbus Circle Statue!

“They have forgotten what the contributions of different cultures have meant to various societies. There is the bad, as we have seen from history, and as we see now, but there is also the good. If Caucasians are so bad, then why is one section of the world struggling to empty into the Western lands? Do you see any exodus headed elsewhere?” [Facebook]

 

 

** 1891 lynchings Italian Americans

In late 19th-century America there was a growing prejudice against Italians, who were immigrating to the American South in large numbers to fill the shortage of cheap labor created by the end of slavery. Sugar planters, in particular, sought workers who were lower paid and more compliant than former slaves; they hired immigrant recruiters who began bringing the Italians to southern Louisiana. In the 1890s, thousands of Italians were arriving in New Orleans each year. Many settled in the French Quarter, which by the early 20th century became known as “Little Sicily.”^[22] 

Southern Italians were not considered full-fledged members of the “white race”… Between 1890 and 1910, Sicilians made up less than 4 percent of the white male population, yet were roughly 40 percent of the white victims of southern lynch mobs.^{[54] **} [The Silent Majority No More]

Italian-Americans fight movement to abolish Columbus Day

Some 35,000 people are expected to march in Monday’s Columbus Day Parade, which will wind up Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 72nd Street, honoring the explorer sent by Spain.

Columbus is celebrated in Latin America, too. A massive monument to the explorer, the Columbus Lighthouse, opened in 1992 in Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic. Puerto Rico commemorates Discovery Day on Nov. 19, marking the day Columbus landed there.

Ralph Arellanes, chairman of the activist group Hispano Round Table of New Mexico, said that as a Hispanic, he supports Columbus Day. Arellanes also said he doesn’t understand why Italians claim Columbus for themselves when Columbus was sailing for Spain.

“It was the marriage of two peoples creating a new people, in a new land,” he said. [NY Post]

Why We Should Celebrate Columbus Day

• Columbus Day recognizes the achievements of a great Renaissance explorer who founded the first permanent European settlement in the New World. The arrival of Columbus in 1492 marks the beginning of recorded history in America.
• Columbus Day celebrates the beginning of cultural exchange between America and Europe. After Columbus, came millions of European immigrants who brought their art, music, science, medicine, philosophy and religious principles to America. These contributions have helped shape the United States and include Greek democracy, Roman law, Judeo-Christian ethics and the tenet that all men are created equal.
• Columbus Day is one of America’s oldest holidays. The tradition of observing Columbus Day dates back to the 18th century. It was first celebrated on October 12, 1792, when the New York Society of Tammany honored Columbus on the 300th anniversary of his first voyage.
• Columbus Day is a patriotic holiday. In fact, the Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 in honor of the 400th anniversary of his first voyage. That year, President Benjamin Harrison declared Columbus Day a legal holiday.
• The United States has long admired Columbus. America has more monuments to Columbus than any nation in the world, according to the Christopher Columbus Encyclopedia. These include a Columbus statue in Providence, R.I., cast by Frederic Auguste Bertholdi, who created the Statue of Liberty, and one in New York City, created by one of the six Italian American brothers who carved the Lincoln Memorial.
• The United States has a significant collection of Columbus memorabilia, including his desk, papers, and the cross he used to claim the New World for Spain. These are in the Columbus Chapel in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania.
• In 1971 Columbus Day became a federal holiday in all 50 states after Congress passed a law declaring the second Monday in October Columbus Day.
• Columbus Day also commemorates the arrival on these shores of more than 5 million Italians a century ago. Today, their children and grandchildren constitute the nation’s fifth largest ethnic group, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
• Columbus Day is the only day on which the nation recognizes the heritage of an estimated 26 million Italian Americans.

Read more for the ugly and un-American reality, as I have documented over the years.

The New JDL said,“Since CAIR will use the parade as an opportunity to recruit and promote their false agenda, exposing CAIR should be everyone’s mission.”

AFDI subway ad from 2014

In 2010, Nihad Awad Executive Director and Founder of Council on American-Islamic Relations was a Grand Marshal. (second from right.)

In 2017,”for the first time in the parade’s history, a Jewish leader will be honored: Rabbi Marc Schneier will serve as the honorary grand marshal.“ Who is this bridge-building rabbi?

Rabbi Marc Schneier, the philandering spiritual leader was booted from the Rabbinical Council of America two years ago after dumping wife No. 4 so he could marry wife No. 5. He is now married to wife No. 6…. one congregant told The Post last year,“It’s like, ‘Marc cheated on his wife again — what’s new?’ It became a running joke: the annual Marc Schneier wedding.

This desperate attempt to jump-start the dwindling Muslim Day Parade, with a philandering rabbi and terror-loving CAIR, came to naught. It remained a fragmented event, yearning to build bridges to nowhere.

After 32 years, not even the Muslim community is motivated to show up.

I heard more than one reporter/photographer comment on the very thin turnout this year .

They had expected a larger crowd, due to claims of Trump-inspired Islamophobia, but that was not the case.

The parade started with tarps laid out on Madison Avenue for the noon Dhuhr prayer.

All Muslims must have to support this noble cause. We must have to come out, stay united and show our strength minimum at this platform which called a Muslim Day Parade.

It’s not me it’s not you. It’s US brothers & Sisters. It’s all of US and all about US.  Building Bridges.

As salamo Alikum brothers & Sisters. Come with your entire family. Remember together we strong and unbreakable strength divided we fall. Show your strength. Send the message to entire world thru your unity. God bless you all. Ameen. [sic]

Flickr Slide show – Part 1 – the prayers:

Press interview of Shmasi Ali

The PRAYERS

allahu akbar – takbir takbir

Friends, try as much as possible to participate. Many reasons why it is crucially important to take part.

 Flickr Slide Show Part 2 (after the prayers)

Part 2 — The New JDL Goes The Distance

The NEW JDL peacefully protested the parade and its organizers. “No Bridges With Terrorists. NO CAIR!”

How do you build bridges when one of your sponsors works with the Muslim Brotherhood and finances Hamas?

The organizers claim the parade will address anti-Semitism. Really? With CAIR on board, the parade supports attacks against Jews in Israel.

Predictably, the ‘progressive’ Jews lent support to CAIR and terrorism. They would have made fine Kapos at Auschwitz.

Erhan Yildirim, a Turkish undertaker and community co-ordinator for the NYPD, gave a hard stare to the JDL signs.

The Muslim Day Parade legitimizes CAIR as a benign advocacy group, which they are not; and the idea that Islam promotes peace, which it does not.

After the prayers, I decided to skip the walk down Madison Ave. But the New JDL went the whole distance. This was their report:

Yes, we walked with them, however we started to feel less love the closer we got to the staging area. (25th St and Madison Ave) One “lady” insisted on calling us “Hitler’s children”.

On the flip side, a very nice black guy, who was a medic assigned to the parade, gave us ice packs and a male participant from the parade shook James’ hand. When we got to the speakers’ area, the love was gone.

One rather angry “lady” took our pic and then went to parade “security”. A large black dude who told us since CAIR is part of the event, we can’t stand there with the signs. He told us if we didn’t leave he would get the police.

We told him very nicely fine, get the police. If the police ask us to leave, then we will go. His final attempt at having us removed, he went to a couple of large police officers in riot gear and told them about the “bad Jews”. (the saga ends)

The speeches were boring as all hell. Most of the speakers could not be understood. They should have spoke in their native languages. Carolyn Maloney spoke. I understood her. The rabbi (Mark Schneier) … the rabbi spoke liberal gibberish.

They spoke of love for the U.S. but then spoke of standing with Kapernick & other football players.  They spoke of standing with the president but then condemned DACA and his policies towards immigrants. One speaker praised Sarsour a few times.

(Note Sarsour and Schneier at “I am a Muslim, too” – at a separate event in Times Square earlier this year)

Oh yes, there were three floats. THREE . We couldn’t figure out why there was a Turkish flag and two others (not sure where they were from) on the Temple Mount float. They called it Al Aqsa. Tried to inform them otherwise but they wouldn’t listen.

Floats in 2011 — they are the same every year

2010

2010 

We tried to decide which float was the best. It was very challenging because there was such a variety. (snark intended)

One more thing, no Muslim Day Parade would be complete without some hard core “I love Jesus” people coming over. One of them danced some sort of jig. Now their t shirts were “inflammatory”. On it was – Muslims bad, Homosexuals bad, etc. (I’m paraphrasing.) No one said anything to them. Only the bad Jews/JDL.

This had to have been the most boring parade I have ever been to. Good grief. We decided we were probably the most entertaining people there.

On a good note; we brought awareness about CAIR. Many people never heard of CAIR. Now they have. End the silence! Anti-Semites have no place on our streets!

Part 3, IN CONCLUSION:

For ten years I’ve observed this annual event. And now, as it dwindles down to obscurity, I need to look back before I walk away.

Supported by CAIR and the very left-leaning Jewish BDSers (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions), these elements did not make the bridge inviting nor strong. It is not the first time that terrorism has made its presence known within the ranks of the parade.

In 2013 — the militant flags marched down Madison Avenue.

2013 — The Muslim Brotherhood Black Hand salute.

2014 — plastic guns and virgins.

Plastic guns. Jailed virgins. What were they thinking?

Women hung. The scaffold. The noose.  These were parade floats in 2014.

In 2017, the creeping jihad was still at work. Indonesians, historically victims of the Muslim invasions, marched in praise of their conquerors. Islam was forced upon their country at the point of a sword and yet they do not repudiate it. They live the lie that Islam can live in peace with the rest of the world.

In 2017, the signs of discord were further exposed in the Buddhist uprising in Myanamar. Who is the victim? Who is the aggressor?

The media and the international elites are framing the jihad in Burma as another “Muslims are victims” story. But it is not. It is another Islamic supremacist holy war to kill and conquer — more of what we are seeing in the Philippines, Nigeria, Kenya, Israel, Congo, Thailand, Chechnya, etc. etc.”Rohingyas threat to national security, they have link with Jihad.” [Pamela Geller]

Is this another Reconquista? Are they taking back their country from centuries of Muslim horror, as the Andalusians did centuries ago? Perhaps Myanmar has had ENOUGH.

An addendum:

And then, I remembered my NYC niqab and hijabs photo essays from 2012.  They present more evidence of creeping Islam — CAIR — ISNA — ICNA — Linda Sarsour — the Muslim Brotherhood — Muslim Student Association — slowly, but surely, bringing the seventh century to the modern public square — normalizing barbarism.

Are the second and third generations of Muslims assimilating? I found the remnants of  seventh-century Arabia walking around Times Square.  It was unsettling

They did not expect the JDL’s counter-demonstration to “Honor the Victims NOT the Killer, Rasmea Odeh”.

The JDL were there to counter the Samidoun propaganda with a simple truth: Rasmea Odeh is a terrorist convicted of murdering two young Jews, Edward Joffe and Leon Kanner, on Feb. 21st, 1969.

Edward and Leon were killed in an explosion in an Israeli market. Odeh murdered them, yet she was being honored at a rally in Union Square Park.

The public must be made aware that she is a convicted murderer and not a victim. The public must be made aware that Edward and Leon are the victims. Please join us and help fight the lies of radical Islamics and their supporters.” [Facebook]

The JDL gathered “at the steps in the southern plaza” before the Samidoun arrived, creating a dilemma for the anti-Zionists: now they could not display their signs on the steps as planned.

But, did the terrorist sympathizers have a Plan B? The Samidoun stood around laughing, smirking, and pointing at the JDL while they pondered what to do next.

A decision was finally made to walk in a circle (they love going round and round), and that they did, while chanting “Racists go Home”.

Video 2:

Eventually, some of the younger terrorist-lovers did the predictable, standing in front of the JDL signs. Then some of the younger JDL members became more vocal, as they two sides edged closer and closer, finally coming nose to nose just as the NYPD arrived.

The JDL counter-protest was VERY successful in proving it does not take an army to weaken the resolve of these radicals. Even though the close encounter was brief, it was FUN to watch their confusion. They obviously expected only SUPPORT for their murderous darling, Rasmea Odeh.

The police bemusedly placed barricade after barricade between the two groups, building a WALL to keep the PEACE.

There’s something to be said for walls. They provide safety from the violence of warmongers like Samidoun and Hamas.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas share certain goals and values. To each, it is not a question of whether a peaceful settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is possible. It never will be acceptable. What is acceptable is violence against civilians. [Investigative Project]

 Goodbye and Good Riddance to Rasmea Odeh

The creation of a state of terror, instability and panic in the souls of the Zionists” is a goal spelled out in the Islamic Jihad’s internal bylaws […] Hamas unveiled an updated charter this year […] it remains committed to never recognizing Israel’s right to exist and demands “the full and complete liberation of Palestine : “from the river to the sea”. 

In other words, no peace while Israel exists.

Rasmea Odeh bombed that grocery store before either group was created [Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad] so America has lost a pioneer in Palestinian terrorism. Take note of who grieves for that loss more than the loss of life she caused. [Investigative Project]

Slideshow of both sides:

FAKE NEWS UPDATE: According to David Jamesnovitch, “Racist scum from JDL just showed up to the anti-Trump event waving a ‘Blue Lives Matter’ banner and were shouted down by the crowd and left abruptly.”  The supporters of terrorism could not handle the TRUTH: the JDL hung in there and RAINED on the Samidoun parade. Nobody from the JDL left until the event was over.

Goodbye and Good Riddance to RASMEA ODEH!

As an addendum, the United States of America is not the only country catching on to the deceptive practices of terrorists passing themselves off as humanitarians:

Norway Demands Palestinians Repay Funds and U.S. Congress Cheers. No moneys can be used to HONOR KILLERS like Terrorist and Murderess, Dalal Mughrabi

A total of 38 Israelis, including 13 children, were killed and 72 were wounded by Dalal Mughrabi [eight other militants died as well as Mughrabi]

Leaked photos of Dalal Mughrabi’s remains in a Palestinan propaganda leaflet which purports to show former PM Ehud Barak taking a suicide belt off of Mughrabi.

Members of the US Congress are hailing Norway’s recent actions and calling for Washington to take similar steps.

Congressman Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) recently introduced an amendment to an appropriations bill that would have prohibited US funds from being used by the PA to publicly honor terrorists. The amendment was disqualified by the House Rules Committee on a technicality, but Sarah Stern — the president of the Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET) — said that she and her colleagues will be working with members of Congress to reintroduce a similar amendment “at the earliest opportunity.” [Pamela Geller, Jewish Breaking News]

THE LIES WOULD CONTINUE on SEPT 19 from 6 PM to 8 PM at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza — outside the UN:

“From the US to Palestine” (#BuildMovementsNotWalls). Hosted by the New Jersey chapter of American Muslims for Palestine and the New York City contingent of the Jewish Voice for Peace.

“Music is intended to transcend political barriers and promote cultural exchange, pluralism, and diversity. Instead, Roger Waters is promoting hate. The Jewish Defense League will continue to take actions against Roger Waters until he renounces antisemitism in all of its forms, including the unjust boycott of the Jewish state.” [Facebook]

Read more of the battle to protect Israel from the dumb ideas of pop icons.

Waters arrived to a chorus of “Shame on you” at the protest :

The Belasco Theatre is where the equally despicable Michael Moore is appearing in his failed Broadway show, “THE TERMS OF MY SURRENDER“.

Roger Waters has been a vocal advocate for BDS and anti-Israel rhetoric, making it imperative that organizations like the JDL and AFSI hit the streets in opposition to his anti-Israel, anti-Jewish animus.

Still, many of the passersby outside the Belasco had never heard about the anti-Israel propaganda supported by Waters and Moore.

Many, like this woman, were sorry they had tickets for the Barclay Center.

Roger Waters may be a giant to some, but this is one despicable human being who came to Brooklyn’s Barclay Center on September 11th and 12th.

Advocates FOR Israel were outside the Center NOT welcoming him:  “WE DON’T NEED NO ROGER WATERS!”

They carried signs with a clear message: “BDS NOT WELCOME HERE!”,  “HELL NO! ROGER MUST GO!” and “Say NO to Roger Waters” and “ENOUGH!”

Silence equals complicity.

Silence permits anti-Semitism to grow.

We must be SILENT NO MORE!

Read more about Sharia’s financial creep.

The Council for American-Islamic Relations had partnered with Wahed Investment to promote Halal investing on the NASDAQ electronic billboard.

“CAIR claims to be a Civil Rights Group, in fact, it is HAMAS in the US” [#TruthAboutCAIR]

Wahed Investment is “Revolutionizing Halal Investing”.

Sharia investment brings with it slavery, homophobia, and misogyny. Is the check good? “Light the lights. Curtain up.”

Sharia-based finance has been shown to have a nasty dark side. Forbes discussed the unique aspects of Islamic finance in 2011:

Islamic finance is not confined to Muslim countries but is spread over Europe, the United States and the Far East; nor is it limited to Islamic borrowers, but is also used by many companies as an alternative source of funds. The principles of Islamic banking are similar in many respects to conventional banking, asset financing and project financing principles commonly used and applied under English law worldwide. Islamic Finance is the application of the Sharia to the finance sector.

So Nasdaq bowed to the CAIR Lobby because petrodollars talked. 

Nasdaq is sliding down that slippery slope: CAIR. Hamas. Sharia. Have they no shame?
