The United We Stand: Rally for Colin Kaepernick, was attended by virtually every socialist/commie/progressive/fascist organization that hates America.

Colin Kaepernick, former quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, caused conflict last season by kneeling during the national anthem before games to protest police brutality and racial oppression. He inspired several other players to follow suit or make similar gestures, leading to debate about how actively athletes should publicly engage in political discourse. He also became a vegetarian, which was accompanied by significant mucle loss.

Kaepernick is a free agent without a team. While his play has declined since he led the 49ers to the Super Bowl four years ago, many analysts believe teams are refusing to sign him because of his political nature, not his ability. Other analysts tie his continued unemployment to his playing style and declining skills.

Part 1 slideshow

The Kaepernick protest drew criticism and a small group of counter-protesters across Park Avenue. Some waved a Thin Blue Line flag to honor living and fallen law enforcement officers. Another man held a sign with the words “COLIN THE COMMIE.

“They are alleging that there is racism involved in Kaepernick not signing in the NFL, but he’s a free agent to sign or not sign,” said Karen Braun, who was among the JDL counter-protesters. “Was race the intent? No one can prove that.” [WHAS11-ABC]

The Jewish Defense League was counter-protesting while hatemonger Linda Sarsour joined the list of speakers spewing anti-white and anti-Americam screeds.

Another video excerpt of Linda Sarsour’s hate speech:

Linda Sarsour: “We will not be silenced by blue lives matter — by white supremacists — by neo-nazis — by right-wing zionists. Expect us anytime there is a fight for justice or a fight against injustice.”

Sarsour added, “You better expect us because we will be there and we will be there on the front lines of justice. That means putting our lives on the lines of justice. That being said, if you are not ready to put your life on the line for freedom, take that word out of your mouth.”

COMMENTS — pro and con from their Facebook page:

“What has the flag done for our people? It’s a symbol of country built on hate, genocide, oppression and racism. FUCK the flag.”

“The funniest part about this rally is that the NFL league office doesn’t do the hiring, individual teams do. What a waste of time. The NFL itself has not punished any players for kneeling during the anthem. This is 100% a complete waste of time

“NFL contracts are not guaranteed except for a pre-determined amount at the contract signing. Kap made $16M in 2016 and his poor performance plus the system that the new head coach wanted to implement did not warrant the 49ers to keep him for the same amount in 2017. Kap opted out because he knew the 49ers would cut him anyway.”

“A man may be paid great sums for his labors and YET his employer does not own his SOUL. If they choose to kneel and understand the consequences of kneeling (monetary fines or whatever sanctions imposed by NFL or team owners) then so be it! That is their right and each person must act according to their conscience. “

“He didn’t protest a country where he lived a lavish life with a wonderful adopted family or the country that pays him millions to play a game. He disrepected not only this country but every person that has served and paid the ultimate sacrifice so he could live in a country that allows him to be an entitled punk with zero respect for this country. It’s all about attention and it’s sickening.”

“What a complete joke. A spoiled child that threw a tantrum and was rejected by the country that made him rich. Maybe he’ll have to get a real job.”

Let’s throw some light on their rabble-rousing accusations. Both claim to be proud Americans — patriots who are RECLAIMING America. They are saving our Constitution… from those hateful, racist Republicans. Are you buying what they are selling? Maybe not. Sadly, there are plenty of buyers.

They speak for progressives — not the average American. They speak for the Bernie-Sanders-loving collectivist left. They masquerade as patriots and the mainstream media LOVES them.

They are loved by young people. A generation is being primed to RESIST for the REVOLUTION. Danger lurks in the hearts of the Millennial/Alphabet Gens that these women court. Their audience is a generation fed a steady diet of lies, propaganda, fake news, and fake history . The youngest generation of lefties cheer and pump their fists to these women’s rhetoric. The youth are ready for CHANGE as they take to the streets.

I witness the same scenarios over and over again. The seeds of INSURRECTION are nurtured at protest after protest. I call it TREASON. Their message is fed uncritically to the masses through our media, our entertainment, and our schools. There is no competing voice of reason for American patriotism from the right for young New Yorkers.

Nothing damns them so much as their own words. Read on for their self-incriminating speeches.

First up, the words of NYC Public Advocate Letitia James, then Linda Sarsour. Both were central agitators at the July 2nd Emergency Town Hall.  From Wikipedia:

Letitia A. “Tish” James is an American lawyer, activist, and politician in the Democratic Party. She is the current and fourth New York City Public Advocate and first African American woman to hold citywide office. … Howard University School of Law. … admitted to practice law in New York state in 1989. James is the first member of the Working Families Party to win office in New York State and the first third-party member to be elected to the NYC Council since 1977.

Feb.6, 2017 : Washington Sq – Flashback “Tish” James quotes:

If you honor the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, then you have an obligation. Whenever you see a government that is lawless, you’ve got an obligation  and a duty to RESIST. RESIST. RESIST.

We’ve got an obligation and a duty to fight back… to protect the marginalized community and vulnerable community … we’ve got to protect those who they are coming after.

We’ve got to stand with them. Rise them. And let them know that THIS is the America that we love and we’ll FIGHT for it.

We are a city made great by the blood, sweat and tears of immigrants and refugees. And we will not close our borders. We will not close our shores …. [New York City] is an immigrant town and a sanctuary city and we will protect that right.

And so we’ve gotta stand up to the Federal Government. We’ve gotta stand up to bullies. We’ve gotta stand up to an administration that is “too male, too pale and too stale”.

We will not be silent in the face of this oppression, in the face of this discrimination; in the face of HATE. We will not normalize hate.

This is MY country and I will DEFEND the rights of immigrants and refugees. Mr. President, you and your Executive Orders, you have turned back progress for decades.  That puts you on notice, we will resist and we will ultimately see you in court.

I say to Donald Trump, you are NOT my President. I will resist you and stand up to you and I know there is an ARMY out there that will join me.

I need my young people to organize and organize and organize. It is up to you, to get out in the streets, to protect your colleagues, to protect your students, your neighbor and to PROTECT your COUNTRY.

June 29, 2017 — Letitia James sounds like she’s speaking to the Comintern:

Say it Loud. Say it Clear .Immigrants are welcome here. Refugees are welcome here. Grandparents are welcome here. Your entire family is welcome here.

[At] JFK airport to greet immigrants who are only seeking freedom and opportunity, we can not grow tired (or weary) now. We cannot cower now. WE cannot be fearful now.

We gotta rise up and resist with every fiber of our being […] because we are in a CONSTITUTIONAL crisis. We are at WAR with ourselves. This is not America. Our Values.

On this Independence Weekend let us rise up and DEFEND the Constitution. No Wall with separate us. No Ban will stop us.

[…]

Make sure individuals will feel welcome here. Comfort here. We will continue to embrace them.

I know these are very VERY troubling times. But we cannot grow weary. We cannot be afraid. Understand, we are all in this together. When they come after one group their going to come after ALL of us. So we must ALL stand together.

This is nothing but a MUSLIM Ban. A Muslim BAN. So we need to say that MUSLIMS are Americans too and they need to be treated with respect. They need to know that the law covers them as well.

So I stand with you today. I hope to see you at the airport. As we raise our voices. As we continue to RESIST this administration [… ] and all that we stand for and all that we value.

And on the 4th — instead of going to a B-B-Q go to JFK. Instead of fireworks. Instead of taking a day off, sitting by the beach/lying in the sun: Go to JFK!  Let everyone know that we stand for something. That the Millennials — Gen C , they believe in others. That it’s not about themselves. All will work together to make this a more perfect society.

What we must do together, stand up and defend America and its values. DEFEAT Islamophobia and all those who HATE people who are different. Diversity is our strength. We gotta celebrate that. Thank you for recognizing that ALL of us are Americans.

I’m a Muslim tonight. I’m Gay tonight. I’m Latino tonight.  I’m Black tonight. We are all one. No distinction. We are all one.

Let us rise up together. Let us stand together.”(CHEERS) 

 Letitia was followed by the keynote advocate for insurrection, Linda Sarsour.

Sarsour, in her resignation letter from her position as executive director of the Brooklyn-based Arab American Association of New York, wrote, “We are in a critical moment as a country and I feel compelled to focus my energy on the national level and building the capacity of the progressive movement, so it is with a heavy heart that I announce that I will be leaving my post as the executive director of the Arab American Association of New York.“

Linda Sarsour  is a Brooklyn native. She is oldest of seven children born to a pair of Palestinian immigrants.

Linda Sarsour quotes from Union Square — June 29th, 2017:

I feel like I’m having the same conversation like – every week. I came here to say what I say to New Yorkers, and in any platform that I have (had?)  before the elections, THIS is NOT normal.

Remind yourselves that you live in a country with a President and an administration that is NOT normal.

This ban is a Muslim refugee ban. No other way to describe it.

As a country that passed marriage equality (sends a message) nobody gets to decide who our families are.  We get to say who our family is and what constitutes a bona fide relationship. We have people whose grandparents and aunts and uncles are their primary guardians.

When we allow the federal government to tell us who our family members are, we undermine the decades of work that people  have done in this country, for us to define our families and what makes up the people that we love. (applause- cheers)

This ban impacts most directly the people who need us most – people who need critical medical care – who can die if they don’t come to this country and have access to the type of health care services we have.

This is a ban  that keeps out the refugees – the very people – impacted by war and conflict that WE are instigating and fueling with our tax payer dollars and WE tell them they can’t come find refuge in our country.

We should be ashamed that there are people living in refugee camps — victims of terrorism and violence.  And we are telling them that they do not belong here and can’t come into our country.  I say we have to stay loud and outraged every single day.

I am fueled my perpetual outrage at this administration.

Sisters and brothers, our country has done horrific things to many communities BEFORE Muslims.  We have a history of doing unthinkable things to communities … a precedent that our nation has set forth  for different elements of our society. I want you to join me – to be part of the NEVER AGAIN generation. I will not allow horrific things to happen to any community on my watch or on your watch.

So, there was NO partial victory. There was NO limitation to this ban. There was just a rejuvenation of what this administration tried to do from Muslim Ban 1, Muslim Ban 2.0 and now we’re at the Supreme Court.

AND for those who know the history of the Supreme Court, THEY DON’T ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING.

If we have any folks resigning from the Supreme Court anytime soon – guess what – on the record – and this may not be the most professional thing you ever heard me say, WE ARE SCREWED.

If we have resignations in the  Supreme Court at this moment – all of our issues – from marriage equality, voters rights, reproductive rights, abortion, to immigration, to this ban – are ALL going to be rolled back.

I want you to stay woke…. as our black sisters and brothers teach us :  outraged . informed. [Bold added — Editor]

[“Woke” is a slang term that is easing into the mainstream from some varieties of a dialect called African American Vernacular English. In AAVE, awake is often rendered as woke, as in, “I was sleeping, but now I’m woke.” ‘Woke‘ is increasingly used as a byword for social awareness.) …. Arggh….]

Most importantly, you gotta stay united because our opposition is trying to divide and conquer us on issues. And what we’re saying to them is that we are intellectual enough. Loving enough.  That we will not be divided based on the issues we are most passionate —-  that we care about.

We will be intersectional in our organizing and we will show up for one another cause that’s what we do as the American people. (CHEERS)

So…what am I asking you to do? Three things: 

1. social media
2. phone call elected officials
3. show up – public spaces presence extremely critical must be outraged on THE STREETS .  (CHEERS )

And I will end by saying this, I am a proud American and the way that I express my patriotism is through DISSENT, because dissent is the HIGHEST form of patriotism.

SO, if you LOVE your country, you fight hard to make your country the greatest nation on earth, because right now this country has a far way of going —

Until we have health care for everyone who needs health care, women have full agency of their bodies, until we have immigration reform, until we end mass incarceration and UNTIL we become a nation that welcomes ALL immigrants in this country,  until then we are NOT the greatest nation on this earth.

WHAT are they fighting for. WHOSE America?

After listening to a number of speakers, the march to 18th St. from Union Square commenced at 6 PM.

The Town Hall was sponsored by Linda Sarsour’s Arab American Association of New York  and Mpower Change

“Calling directly impacted communities, organizers, faith leaders, labor organizers, activists and allies for an emergency town hall to .discuss latest move by SCOTUS on the Muslim ban.

Make no mistake: the latest SCOTUS ruling is not a partial victory for affected communities. It’s still a Muslim and refugee ban and we still need to ORGANIZE. We CANNOT normalize this and forget the context in which this Administration operates: they are motivated by fear-mongering, xenophobia and Islamophobia.

This ruling is ambiguous and confusing and will create chaos once its implemented and we need to PUSH BACK. The most disproportionately impacted will be the people who need to immigrate here the most: refugees.

The Event was co-sponsored by: African Communities Together, New York Immigration Coalition, Network Against Islamophobia, CUNY CLEAR as well as MPower Change and Arab American Association of New York .”

I found them by accident at Union Square.

A tight circle of protestors and media clamoring to get pictures and video, particularly of NYC Public Advocate, Leticia James, and. Brooklyn’s Muslim activist Linda Sarsour.

Amongst the many speakers were two well-known advocates for open borders, sanctuary cities, and sharia law in America. What they have to say was predictably offensive, but well worth a listen.

First, Leticia James, NYC Public Advocate spoke. She is racist and thoroughly marxist.

The last speaker, was Linda Sarsour, the sharia-loving queen-of-the- night.

Once finished speaking, they marched a couple of blocks to SEIU Union Hall where a couple of Pro-Trump Back The Ban protestors greeted them. An anti-white troll hung with them briefly.

Of course, there was much angry shouting right back at them.  It abated briefly, and then took off again while the meeting took place upstairs.

Pamela Gellar announced the details:

MAY 25, 2017
12 to 2 pm (rain or shine)

Protest CUNY Keynote Speaker
Pro-Terror Anti-Semite: Linda Sarsour

Protest terror and hate at CUNY– this will not stand.

“The AFDI demo against CUNY’s obscene invitation to pro-terror Jew-hater Linda Sarsour to give their commencement address was a smashing success! With over a thousand people who came out in a downpour of pelting rain on East 42nd Street outside CUNY’s headquarters on to oppose the mainstreaming of evil. It was an amazing event, a turning point, despite Mayor de Blasio’s nefarious attempts to undermine and destroy the rally.” 

The speakers included:
Assemblyman Dov Hikind
Milo Yiannopoulos
Pamela Geller
Nonie Darwish, formerly of Muslims United
John Guandolo, founder of UnderstandingTheThreat.com
David Wood, Acts 17 Apologetics

To begin with, it was raining and raining and RAINING for the whole two hours.  This did not deter anyone from showing up.

[2 photos – Mike Grambush]

Even the press, eager to hear Milo speak, hung around. Milo was the keynote, so he spoke at the end. So the press WAITED. In the RAIN. As did we all.

The dedicated patriots enthusiastically jammed the protest area.  Everyone hung in there — meeting the challenge of rain and the VERY obnoxious leftist noise pollution.

[AFDI screen shot with me in red circle]

No rain was going to stop the patriots.  The rain also failed to stop the leftists. So the police line was long and tight at the stage area.

(3 live podcast screen shots – Tim Pool)

As long as passersby could move through the sidewalk passing their screaming gauntlet, the lefties claimed the right to STAND there, SCREAMING. This is contrary to what demonstrators from the right have been told in the past by the NYPD: which is to keep moving, not standing in one spot.  This has been the supposed rule of law.  In practice, the right follow the rules and obey the police.  The left plays by their own set of rules.

The lefties bullied the system to get their way.  Rules change as the left need them to change. An eclectic group of twenty patriots marched back and forth in front of the lefties, No standing around for them. Protestors for the right included the eccentric Libertarian protestors – PROUD BOYS, a creation of Gavin McInnes

I saw Gavin McInnes enter the stage enclosure from the crowd behind me.  He did not speak, but just hung out at the edge of the stage.  The police didn’t like him offering a can of Pepsi to the protesting morons.

[my 2 screen shots of McInnes (with goatee) arriving and watching from side of the stage]

As for the abuses heaped upon The AFDI Speakers — by the obnoxious left — I heard that the reason we were surrounded and drowned out by the leftists was that the police were sued by the communist – to be allowed to stand wherever they liked.  I could not confirm this alleged lawsuit.

Here is a brief video of the crowd and the noise harassment. Noni Darwish was bravely speaking over the din.

Another source reported that when the police moved the lefties away from the stage, the commies started making phone calls.  I presume these calls went to someone in “Red Bill” DeBlasio’s office, since they were allowed, post-haste, and en masse to return to the staging area where they continued to relentlessly harass the speakers. I understand the officers expressed frustration at this favoritism.

Which is why you will hear the unabated harassment heaped at these brave and dedicated speakers while they gave important and honorable speeches.

Pamela Geller’s opening remarks on why Linda Sarsour should not be the Key Note Speaker. “CUNY COULD have done BETTER”

Milo Yiannopoulos was the final keynote speaker.

Noni Darwish gave an impassioned speech on the dangers of Sharia. She suffered under its rule and left Islam.  Her apostasy only made her detractors louder.

David Wood is a respected scholar on Islam and Sharia.  He spoke of the dangers of leaving Islam — the sharia fatwas — and the dangers for everyone to live — forced — under sharia.

John Guandolo – Ex FBI agent addressed the lies we in the so- called enlightened West are taught about Islam and Sharia. He also spoke about what we can do about those lies.

Dov Hikind  (D) N.Y. State Assemblyman

Pamela Gellar summed things up well:

CUNY has invited a pro-terror, pro-sharia anti-semite to give the keynote commencement address.  And they will not reconsider. Universities have dis-invited Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Nonie Darwish, Ann Coulter, Milo, legions of conservative thinkers and voices in defense of freedom, but a vicious, pro-sharia, Jew-hater they will defend to the death and that is it right there. They fear jihad. They fear Islamic supremacists. They know no harm with come to them if they smear, defame, libel or cancel us. They know we don’t destroy, maim, behead like Sarsour supporters and their violent running dogs on the left.

On June 1, Sharia advocate Linda Sarsour will be giving the graduate commencement speech at the City University of New York. While no one who believes in freedom of speech would object to Linda’s right to speak at a university, a graduate commencement address is a completely different story. The graduate commencement speaker is chosen by the university for the students’ final “send off.” Couldn’t CUNY find someone besides a Sharia advocate to speak at a celebration for students and their families?

Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch calls on Americans to protest:

Some people are responding by insisting that Linda Sarsour should be allowed to speak on college campuses. It seems they’ve missed the point entirely.  No one is saying that Linda shouldn’t be allowed to speak at CUNY. (Robert even challenges her to a debate.) The protest is about Linda being the COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER for the graduation.  The commencement speaker is the university’s choice for who gives the final “send off” for the graduates.  CUNY chose a Sharia proponent for the final send off. That’s what’s being protested. CUNY is trying to ram Sharia down students’ and parents’ throat.

Despite the many patriotic pleas, CUNY went ahead with its plans to honor Sarsour.

Here’s what happened on the afternoon of June 1 in Harlem, outside the famed Apollo Theatre.

Inside, the CUNY graduation ceremony began at 5 PM. Meanwhile, starting at 3 PM there was much activity outside as the attendees gathered, waiting to go in.

Ignoring the many #NoToSarsour protests, Linda Sarsour’s CUNY keynote address was happening anyway.

Two dedicated protestors walked back and forth in front of the Apollo; engaging the crowd and informing them why an anti-semitic, Hamas-supporting, sharia-loving woman, Linda Sarsour, should NOT be the keynote role-model for these (or any) grads.

For approximately 45 minutes it was just two patriots explaining with the facts regarding their protest and they spoke to many supportive people.

There were encouraging responses, particularly from black men.  Some had been at the AFDI #NoToSarsour protest the previous Thursday.

One fellow joined the two  #NoToSarsour protestors for what seemed to be his lunch break as he sat, sign-in-hand and ate his lunch in front of the attendees.

Part 1 video. A brief look at the two protestors outside the Apollo

After a firestorm of protests leading up to June 1, CUNY held firm, claiming to support all types of speakers, even controversial ones; a disingenuous defense for choosing Sarsour and ignoring the FACTS about why she was a poor choice.

CUNY has an agenda: to make SHARIA law acceptable to the masses.  Therefore Linda Sarsour, self-proclaimed sharia-loving “feminist” MUST remain their keynote speaker.

Sadly, those graduating were pawns in the agitprop game of the leftists-in-charge, who snarkily took over the sidewalk and lobbied the police to remove the two CUNY protestors. The feminazi lesbian brigade was particularly confrontational with the female protestor.

The majordomo lesbian lobbied the police “white shirts” oh-so-sweetly, getting NYPD to briefly do her bidding. “Make those two racist protestors go far, far away… pretty please?”

The police attempted to keep the two protestors away and out of sight from the domineering leftists who were “front and center” by the line of attendees.

“No standing. anywhere. Only walking. No TALKING to passersby.” Then it was, “You can’t WALK back and forth in front of the crowd.”

Of course, the rules were re-written to protect the left, but with quiet resistance the two Sarsour protestors politely persevered, continuing to walk the gauntlet of  leftists and grad attendees unscathed.

NONE of these attempts at new rules were applied to the sidewalk-glut created by the banner-brigade peace grandmas.

They stopped, talked, “fumbled” with their banner, and handed out flowers.

They stood in the center of the sidewalk and sat on little chairs with their signs demanding an end to Islamophobia and police violence.

The NYPD handled them well…

…nicely, politely, and with a respect they didn’t deserve…

…with their rudely offensive signs.

Finally, some of the leftist protestors went inside a pen where their signs and banners were very visible for the grad attendees.

As long as those two pesky anti-Sarsour protestors were kept FAR AWAY, the lefties were content, peace flowers in hand, to freely walk, talk and engage the passersby.

Honoring their “creed”: NO competition of thought allowed.

One Raging Grandma (for Peace) — waved her Freedom Socialist rag of a “newspaper” in my face while calling ME a Nazi.

Perhaps this was a FEMINIST lead support group for Sarsour since it was comprised of the feminazis, peace-grandmas and lesbians. Helping me come to this perspective was one of their photographers, Joan L  Roth. She seems to be a part of their group at large.

I found it interesting that Roth’s work promotes Jewish women — a world wide commitment.  Is Roth blind to the dangers of Islam that endangers the Jewish people and women, and homosexuals all over the world?

Roth writes:

I went to Kiev in 1991 because it was the 50th anniversary of Babi Yar. For a long time, Jews weren’t even allowed to visit the site. This was the first time that the government allowed an official memorial service.

Thousands of Jews, a huge sea of people carrying candles and flowers, all walked from the train station to Babi Yar—the same route as half a century ago. There was a blown-up photo at the site, of naked women. It never occurred to me that you had to take your clothes off to be shot. I’ve never been able to get that photo out of my mind.

Everyone there had a mother, a father, a grandparent or some relative who was murdered at Babi Yar. This woman was a survivor, one of only four or five. She was thrown into the canyon as a child, and somehow crawled out. She crawled to the house of non-Jews she knew. Here she poses with these non-Jews, brother and sister; she
was brought up with them. The three of them are together a lot. They were moved that I thought it was important to photograph them—so they’re crying. Still in pain after all these years.

After I visited Babi Yar, I went to synagogue in Kiev. That’s where I started this kind of prayer I say — to my grandfather, to God — thanking my grandfather for having had the courage to leave Russia. My aunt used to tell me how beautiful Kiev was, the cherry blossoms in spring. She used to say, “If I had stayed, it would have been so easy for me to become a doctor,” and I used to think, “What are you talking about, you’d be dead.”

So, on this day, HOW can Sharia Law not be a source of emotional and intellectual conflict for any feminist’s sensibilities?

Also, joining them were the do-gooder, self-hating “Jews for Islam” aka Jewish Voice For Peace and the ridiculous feminazis.

A very familiar face was “Rabbi” Michael Feinberg –  passing out peace flowers. Feinberg is a dedicated hardcore UNION leftist who gives no quarter to any position that threatens his do-gooder-ism. There is no illegal sanctuary, anti-police, or pro-Islam cause that he and his comrades-in-arms do not support.

They live to protest all things good and decent, under the guise of decency.

By 5 pm all the graduation attendeees were inside. CUNY prevailed.  The ceremony was on course.  Sarsour gave her livestreamed keynote speech with sharia law unsullied.

I hope the attendees who told us they planned on standing and turning their backs on her were successful.  BUT, OF COURSE, WE WILL NEVER KNOW, because the MSM will NEVER let that be the story-of-record.

Still, two stalwart protestors proved again that, even in small numbers, you CAN make a difference.  For a couple of hours they made a crack in the left’s blackout on the TRUTH.

As for the report on the keynote address, I found some research links that revealed Sarsour was color co-ordinated with everyone, including the lights – the venue – a lovely rich blue dominated the scene.

More reports on the keynote offensive from:

NY1

Pamela Geller

Gateway Pundit

Jewish Week. Times of Israel

After her speech, lest we forget it was Ramadan, Sarsour went back to midtown, outside Trump Tower to pray Iftar on Fifth Avenue.

Why bother with a mosque when you can kneel and crying to Mecca on the streets of Manhattan.  The “liberals” that run Manhattan were there SUPPORTING (and protecting) this foolishness.

May 8, 2017. NYC City Hall – 11 am. An hour of long-winded and impassioned support for the sainted Linda Sarsour.

Fists held high and repetitious chants supporting Linda were interjected after many speeches.

A brief Flicker slide show

Since the speakers were many, I decided to grab excerpts from one video. What resonates: there is nothing Linda has said that should be criticized. She is above reproach. “If you don’t know Linda, you have no right to criticize her. She is a role model for all women. Beloved. Respected. Protected.  LOVE Trumps HATE.”

The Speakers:

CUNY appears to be holding firm on this egregious decision.

 Fox News:

A Muslim woman (LINDA SARSOUR) who has referred to “Zionist trolls” and lauded the “courage” of of rock-throwing Palestinians will deliver this year’s keynote address at the commencement ceremony of a New York City university.

Linda Sarsour is listed as a featured speaker for the June 1, 2017, graduation at CUNY’s Graduate School of Public Health & Health Policy, according to the school’s website.

We are excited to announce that our inaugural commencement ceremony will feature three powerful public health and social justice leaders:

Honorary Doctor of Science
Chirlane McCray, First Lady of New York City, will receive an honorary Doctor of Science in Public Health degree in recognition of her leadership of ThriveNYC, the most comprehensive mental health plan of any city or state in the nation.

Champion of Public Health Award
Mary Bassett, Commissioner of the New York Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, will receive the Champion of Public Health award for her transformational work addressing population health in New York City.

Keynote Address
Linda Sarsour, co-organizer of the National Women’s March and former executive director of the Arab American Association of New York, will deliver the keynote address.

Assemblyman Dov Hikind, D-Brooklyn, says it is “nuts” that a taxpayer-funded institution like CUNY would invite a supporter of Shariah law to speak, CBS New York reported.

“She is someone who associates with radical Islamists; supports them; shows support for them. She is someone who has said, clearly, she thinks throwing rocks at cars in Israel is a good thing,” Hikind told the station. “I mean, it’s just nuts. It makes no sense. It’s crazy to have this woman be the person who’s going to speak to the students.”

Linda Sarsour … daughter of “Palestinian” immigrants  and DARLING of the LEFT

… has said in her Tweets, referring to “Zionist trolls” and states (that ) “Nothing is creepier than Zionism.”  She SUPPORTS Violence!

Sarsour’s anti-Israel tweets include a photo of a young Palestinian boy with a rock in each hand. It is captioned: “The definition of courage. #Palestine”

CUNY, Stop this Madness. Say NO to Sarsour!

May 25, 2017. The Protest is ON. Outside the CUNY mid-town offices – 217  E. 42nd St. – Noon to 2pm. Be THERE!

There are a lot of interesting stories making their way into the headlines of local-for those of us living in New York City-news. Critically, a dispute has emerged between Mayor Bill De Blasio and City Council Speaker Viverito, who wants to continue to provide violent, criminal aliens with publicly-funded attorneys. This is the plan originally supported by De Blasio before the absurdity of this position was highlighted by current mayoral candidate Nicole Malliotakis. This division once again demonstrates the lengths open borders advocates will go to defend illegal immigration, regardless of the human cost.

Ms. Viverito isn’t the only member of the New York City Council to stand by a seemingly untenable position. As The Daily Beacon points out, Jumaane Williams has accused critics of sharia devotee and Internet tough guy Linda Sarsour of being members of the alt right. In other words, supporting gender equality, opposing Islamic terrorism, and being an advocate for Western values makes you a white supremacist. Who knew?!

An actual bigot might have been arrested in Manhattan, where a man who allegedly attacked an Asian man has been charged with third-degree assault.

In odd news, a Staten Island man has been hospitalized after being bitten by a poisonous East African gaboon viper. After being bitten, the individual proceeded to cut his pet’s head off. As someone who once had the much more prosaic-and less lethal-garter snake, I can attest to the difficulty of caring for these reptiles. My advice to those who are tempted to own an illegal, potentially deadly snake is…don’t.

The JDL was there as the protests begin.

The JDL demanded that anti-Zionist, Linda Sarsour, be dropped as  a CUNY Commencement speaker. NO to Sarsour!

“Governor Cuomo, NOT WITH PUBLIC FUNDs!” and CUNY – “Drop Linda Sarsour as  Keynote speaker.”

Coming NEXT- on JUNE 1 –  Pamela Geller and AFDI will be protesting outside the Commencement.

“We will be there. We will protest — this will not stand. Be there June 1st at Harlem’s Apollo Theater at 253 West 125th Street, from 5 – 7:30pm

CUNY has invited a pro-terror, pro-sharia, anti-semite to give the keynote commencement address. And they will not reconsider.”

“Universities have dis-invited Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Nonie Darwish, Ann Coulter, Milos; legions of conservative thinkers and voices in defense of freedom. But, a vicious, pro-sharia, Jew-hater they will defend to the death and that is it right there. They fear jihad. They fear Islamic supremacists.

They know no harm will come to them if they smear, defame, libel or cancel us. They know we don’t destroy, maim, behead like Sarsour supporters and their violent running dogs on the left.”

“CUNY is defending its decision to honor pro-terror Jew hater Linda Sarsour with the Commencement keynote address.

The norming of evil. Such sanction is so malignant and so evil, it cannot be ignored.There is a responsibility for the time we are living in.  That is why AFDI has organized a protest of CUNY’s Keynote Speaker, pro-terror, anti-Semite Linda Sarsour on June 1.”

         Please RSVP here.

Join the No to Sarsour protest outside the Apollo Theater at 253 West 125th Street.  June 1st, from 5 – 7:30pm. Be there!

From CBS  Local:

… state Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) said Sarsour’s activism – and her support of Sharia Law – makes her unfit to by the speaker at the June commencement.

“She is someone who associates with radical Islamists; supports them; shows support for them. She is someone who has said, clearly, she thinks throwing rocks at cars in Israel is a good thing,” Hikind said.

Hikind was referring to a tweet Sarsour put out on Oct. 11, 2015, showing a young boy apparently throwing rocks at Israelis with the caption saying, “the definition of courage.”

From Breitbart:

Anti-Israel, pro-Sharia Law leftist activist Linda Sarsour will deliver the commencement speech at the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate School of Public Health on June 1.

CUNY is a public university that is paid for by taxpayer funds.

“I am delighted to confirm that Linda Sarsour will indeed speak at our June 1 commencement at the Apollo Theater,” Barbara Aaron, chief of staff to CUNY Graduate School of Public Health dean Ayman El-Mohandes, told The Daily Caller.

From Fox News:

A Muslim woman (LINDA SARSOUR) who has referred to “Zionist trolls” and lauded the “courage” of of rock-throwing Palestinians will deliver this year’s keynote address at the commencement ceremony of a New York City university.

Linda Sarsour is listed as a featured speaker for the June 1, 2017, graduation at CUNY’s Graduate School of Public Health & Health Policy, according to the school’s website.

We are excited to announce that our inaugural commencement ceremony will feature three powerful public health and social justice leaders:

Honorary Doctor of Science
Chirlane McCray, First Lady of New York City, will receive an honorary Doctor of Science in Public Health degree in recognition of her leadership of ThriveNYC, the most comprehensive mental health plan of any city or state in the nation.

Champion of Public Health Award
Mary Bassett, Commissioner of the New York Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, will receive the Champion of Public Health award for her transformational work addressing population health in New York City.

Keynote Address
Linda Sarsour, co-organizer of the National Women’s March and former executive director of the Arab American Association of New York, will deliver the keynote address.

Assemblyman Dov Hikind, D-Brooklyn, says it is “nuts” that a taxpayer-funded institution like CUNY would invite a supporter of Shariah law to speak, CBS New York reported.

“She is someone who associates with radical Islamists; supports them; shows support for them. She is someone who has said, clearly, she thinks throwing rocks at cars in Israel is a good thing,” Hikind told the station. “I mean, it’s just nuts. It makes no sense. It’s crazy to have this woman be the person who’s going to speak to the students.”

Linda Sarsour … daughter of “Palestinian” immigrants and darling of the Left.

… has said in her Tweets, referring to “Zionist trolls” and states (that ) “Nothing is creepier than Zionism.”  She supports violence!

Sarsour’s anti-Israel tweets include a photo of a young Palestinian boy with a rock in each hand. It is captioned: “The definition of courage. #Palestine”

CUNY, stop this madness. Say NO to Sarsour!

“In New York this Saturday, Women’s March organizers are planning vigils in 34 cities in the U.S. and abroad to call attention to the plight of the Syrian people and to demand a humanitarian response to the situation. Hundreds will call for the United States to take in Syrian refugees.

We will stand with them to push that rhetoric even further:

– Solidarity with all those displaced by bombs, markets, or discrimination – Abolish borders, and the nationalism and racism that depend on them – Free entry for Syrian refugees, and everyone else!”

 “NYC’s Women For Syria vigil is to be led by Muslim activist, Linda Sarsour, National co-chair of the Women’s March.” Sarsour is the Executive Director of the Arab-American Association of New York.  She is a “proud Muslim woman” who finds no fault with CAIR or the Muslim Brotherhood. She supports sharia law and was one of the main organizers of the recent Women’s March on Washington and now, is a leader for their next project, #WomenForSyria .

The crowd was comprised of the usual leftists, anti-Israel protesters and ‘social justice” warriors, like “NO! REFUSE Fascism“.

#WomenForSyria makes the claim that Americans are waking up:

” […] sections of the United States have begun to wake up and take to the streets, confronting the bourgeois state and the murdering racist police that protect it.”

As Linda took the ‘stage’, speaking with her usual THICK Brooklyn accent, she reminded this small but very supportive crowd that she’s just a GIRL from Brooklyn. Creating a convenient photo-op by holding a friend’s toddler. Sarsour’s opening speech was engaging, but scattered. Predictably, she managed to include mentions of “Palestinian” solidarity and Islamophobia.

In 2013 from a World Can’t Wait protest. A familiar message while holding Assad’s two-star flag. [Not the revolution three-star flag.]

 In 2013, World Can’t Wait DEFENDING Assad?

A 2013 Facebook poster felt misled by the “World Can’t Wait” action:

By 2014, the message was clearly against Assad and gassing Syrians.

Back to 2107. A man from Refuse Fascism ranted that Trump does NOT care about the beautiful children. Saving the Children is just a U.S. war machine ploy. The Commie contingent fomenting turmoil, confusion, and conflicting messages. But saving the refugees. The women. The babies. The families from the terrors of gassing has complications; caveats that preclude thanks. From their press release: 

“We are outraged that the President and his cabinet are banning the very refugees that are escaping the same terrorism we are claiming to fight. The United States has taken in a very small number of Syrian refugees. We demand that we be a sanctuary and safe haven for Syrian refugees. We call on the administration to let in at least 75,000 refugees. This will help alleviate some of the suffering of the children and their families. There is no easy solution — but providing Syrians with a life of safety and security is the least we can do.”

Amongst the few speakers was a Muslim man, a social justice leader and best friend of Linda’s, a male ally.  Followed by a Christian Syrian woman. The speaker mentioned that there are NO opposing factions in Syria. Then WHY are there TWO flags?

From Wiki: there are currently two governments claiming to be the de jure government of Syria, using different flags to represent the state. The incumbent government, led by Bashar al-Assad and the Ba’ath Party, is using the red-white-black United Arab Republic flag in use since 1980; while the Syrian Interim Government, led by the Syrian National Coalition – seeking to overthrow the Assad government – readopted the green-white-black Independence flag in 2012.

AND this clarification:  “The Assad regime is backed by Iran and other Shias.

2012–present, Flag used by the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces

1980–present, Syrian Arab Republic

Seems like factions, to me. But, in Union Square, we saw only the flag of the revolution opposing Assad. (slideshow)

Peace and Love. Love not War.

A young woman, Hibah Javed, stands with friends at #WomenforSyria.

Apparently, these social justice warriors are THE BEST arbiters of Peace. Linda said we must LISTEN to the SYRIANS, they are the only ones qualified on how to deal with Assad etc. All decisions should come from SYRIANS.

[From 2013 – Times Sq]

So, if Syrians are the only ones qualified to fix the Syrian problems. WHY aren’t they fixing them? IN Syria? And, why is the U.S. being pressured so take in Syrian refugees? More and more.

Sarsour has the answer (in Salon):

“We absolutely have to take responsibility for the refugee crisis. Our flawed foreign policy in the Middle East has created the fertile ground for groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda. We can’t act like we have nothing to do with that.”

         Sarsour continued

“Hate is not going to divide us. People need to be held accountable for hate speech … words that are inspiring actual violence against innocent people who have nothing to do with these terrorist attacks happening.”

Who is doing the HATING? From today’s gathering, one would surmise it’s America. America is characterized as a racist and hate-filled State. America, she is BAD. “Stop the War. Stop the Hate.” Refers only to the U.S. imperial war machine. No one else seems to be responsible. Sept 2015 – The Nation explains why:

“The Syrian civil war has displaced more than 4 million people, most of them to other countries in the region—though conspicuously not to the Persian Gulf states or Saudi Arabia, friend to the West and armorer of Islamist fighters in Syria. The rise of the Islamic State, or ISIS—now terrorizing Syria and Iraq and threatening neighboring countries—was sparked by the aftermath of the Iraq invasion and further fueled by the misguided tactics of the United States and Britain in Syria. Yet the United States has accepted just 1,500 Syrian refugees since the civil war began.”

Listen up, President Trump, the #Women For Syria are calling you to task:

“If you stop bombing and OCCUPYING their countries, there won’t be MILLIONS of refugees trying to flee…”

 AMERICA, YOU MADE THEM. LET THEM IN.

The crowd was jammed around the stage, from all sides – no elbow room, sight-lines poor. A Day Without a Woman. Obscenely popular.
Amidst a sea of red and pink, a lot of foolish women worshiping at the altar of sharia-loving feminazis like Linda Sarsour. SAD. Cameras on all sides struggling to get a shot of Sarsour, whose pursuit of public office, Brooklyn Borough President or even Mayor NYC, looks more and more probable. They worship her. The Anti-Trump Women’s Movement Teams Up With Islamist Terrorist , Linda Sarsour, Islamist apologist and activist, a supporter of sharia law. Catching her speech and recording it was high on my bucket list. Sarsour always needs to be heard, not just seen. I had a difficult time filming Sarsour, with photographers crowded so tightly at the front of the stage, but what matters is that you hear every bloody word.

The gist is, Republicans=Bad. Some men=always bad, like melanin challenged Repubs, which makes, of course, America Bad.

After a couple of other speakers, I moved on. Forgetting there was a ‘march’ on the books, I focused on the crowd. By now it had swelled from 59th to 58th and across the avenue into Grand Army Plaza.
I wound up missing phase two: THE MARCH. Around 1:30 PM the sharia compliant feminazis marched arm-in-arm to Trump International Tower. Blocking the streets were Sarsour and approximately 12 of her minions [see Womens March Team Bios ].

They staged an arrest – see womens’ march twitter feed coming from INSIDE the paddy wagon.  Hard times? Really? I think not.

(Links below to more arrest coverage)

Huff Po :  Organizers Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez and Linda Sarsour, co-chairs of January’s Women’s March on Washington, emerged from a police precinct exhausted but optimistic, greeted by a couple dozen activists who had waited to give them food and support. Police said 13 people were arrested. Also, Women’s March co-chair “Bob” Bland.

The Fader

The Daily Wire

Back to the speakers portion of the protest/rally. I heard not a critical word from Sarsour or her comrade sisters-in-arms ( like Faiza Ali ,who spoke as well) about the horrors of sharia Law.

No one mentioned the abuses within ISLAMIC countries; heaped upon women, children, homosexuals (lesbians) and trans- genders.

Excerpted transcription from one video:

Hey, New York, what’s up? […. ] I stand before you as a girl from Brooklyn and Staten Island, NY. (cheers) […] Trump does not have respect for women but he also doesn’t know the POWER of women. Despite ATTEMPTS by Trump and Republicans to diminish women, we know our value and we know that America does not function without us. (cheers) We know that this GLOBE doesn’t function without us.

Two years ago when I visited Palestine, I had a woman tell me that women will be the leaders of the revolution because we’ve (sic) half the population and we ARE half the population. (cheers)

Today I strike for every woman, who like me, couldn’t pull together enough money to afford college and had to work a 9 to 5 job and a retail job. Or went in to massive debt because they had to pay to go to college.

I strike for every incarcerated (women) out there, because women are the fastest growing population behind bars and “enough is enough”.

I strike for every woman and every family torn apart by deportation. And for every (women) [sic] that we are less than men.

I strike for trans-women who keep on being murdered on our streets and I. Have Said. ENOUGH! There is a massive resistance movement that is growing. We are a part of it. But, we need to put our bodies on…

We need to stand, to stand-up for black women. We need to stand-up for Palestinian women. We need to stand-up for Southeast Asian women. We need to stand for ALL women. (CHEERS) Because equal pay is not just equal pay for white women (I love ya’ll) But, equal pay should be equal pay for ALL of us. And we should not go to sleep knowing that we can go home and…

So I leave you with this song. [Sarsour joins singing] “Ain’t gonna let know body turn us around. Turn us around. Turn us around. Ain’t gonna let nobody turn us around. We gonna keep on a-walkin’, keep on ta-alkin’, marchin’ on to Freedom Land.” Thank you, New York.

Nope. It’s all about this country. America: Bad. America, where individualism rules. (for now) Even obscenity is OKAY. (for now) America, a country where these privileged educated women can rant, without FEAR, about their imagined enemies. Spewing their fantastical version of abuse, while ignoring the real enemy of women, children AND men- of the free world: Global Islamic Terror . The  CRICKETS were very LOUD

If only they understood and cherished the country they live in. Where their privileged daughters will have the same good life as their privileged mothers. (As long as there is no sharia law.)
The next Generation will suffer? WHY?

MRC points out, once again, that one of feminism’s leading lights is a complete and utter fraud. Just like the faux eco-warriors who drop their green facade when confronted with the reality of open borders environmental degradation, the contemporary feminist movement couldn’t care less about upholding the rights of women and girls. For more on the connection between anti-Isreal Jewish Marxists and their sharia-loving Islamist comrades, check out this post from The Silent Majority No More.
