“Syrian Refugees Welcome” & “Dump Trump” Columbus Circle (12-10-15)

Thursday – Dec 10, 2015 –   NYC . “Stand in Solidarity with Iraqi and Syrian Refugees” – Columbus Circle

Lurking in the background,  COMMUNIST and PROUD, the white and mostly Jewish Communist/Soc/Prog facilitators …
From Daniel Greenfield: ‘The Left’s Muslim Replacement Theology for Jews . Muslims are the new Jews; time to get rid of the old Jews.

 As I arrived – agitprop – screeds – chants – droned on and on to the ubiquitous beat of a drum

It was United Nations “Human Rights Day” held under the statue of that “racist, murdering Christoforo Columbo.
Even Obama was getting slammed by some in the crowd, “Trump Slanders Muslims, Obama Bombs Them”
Their voices rang loud and clear through-out the noisy traffic circle:  “Dump Trump “,”There is no Debate, Trump Equals Hate”,”Say it Loud, Say it Clear, Refugees Are Welcome Here”,”From Mexico to Palestine, Border Walls Are A Crime”, etc, ad nauseum.
I spotted almost immediately, one protestor’s sign (Keep Syrians Out) peering confidently above the crowd

Part 1  video – chants as the event was beginning –

More than one angry young woman, mostly Muslimas, indicted the United States as imperialist and racist . The signs below suggests, “Will Trade Refugees For Racists” and “Grief has no Borders”.

,

Another sign held by a Muslima, welcomes us all to the Fourth Reich.
Sign after sign carried on about that “Racist Donald Trump”, Wall Street (and Donald Trump), Migrant workers (and Donald Trump) and the Central Park Five – with a picture of Donald Trump (whatever)

For an hour and a half this crowd chanted while laughing and making merry, I guess, about the virtues of atheistic Communism.  Even so, one Christian Leftie (she seemed to be a Pastor of some sort) managed to carry a pithy Bible sign.

 Mirna Haidar, lead organizer at the Arab American Association of New York, claimed that anti-Muslim comments like Trump’s are about far more than words.

“It’s violence,” argued Haidar (speaking above) a refugee from Lebanon who came to the United States in 2010.

Haidar says she’s frightened by the recent political climate, combined with the rise in hate crimes targeting MuslimsLittle did I know that here, I will face fear, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and arabophobia


The Most Dangerous Terrorist groups in the USA
are the Republicans and Democrats”?  But…what about the  Isis. Daesh. The Muslim Brotherhood. Al Qaeda!! ” FREEDOM FROM FEAR” proclaims the signs.

Other signs: “Can You Hear the Beating Heart of every Refugee” and “The Jewish Community is United Against Fascism”

While ” on the pedestal-turned-stage, seasoned Syrian activist Hamid Imam led the crowd in chants (“Dump Trump” and “Donald Trump, Listen Here. Refugees are Welcome Here”) He gave an impassioned speech calling for the dismantling of both ISIS and the Assad regime. “The only way to end the suffering is to end the war,” urged Imam, a refugee from ar-Raqqah who now studies social work at Rutgers.”

PART 2  video :  [please note at 00:43 and 2:32 the counter protestor holding up a sign “Keep Syrians Out]

  

Hussam, a refugee from the besieged Syrian city of Homs who came to New Jersey four months ago, exposed the cowardly racism of the fear-mongers by describing the actual events driving millions of people from their homes. An activist in the movement against the dictator Bashar al-Assad, Hussam talked about the last protest he attended, where the regime fired live ammunition on the crowd.

“I fled the country for my children, to take them away from the killings,” he said to the crowd through a translator. “But we hope to God we will go back.” As Sarah Aziza reported for Bedford and Bowery, after that last comment, many in the crowd shouted back, “Yes, you will!”

 Hosam stressed that he considered himself a victim of ISIS, and emphasized that “anyone who thinks ISIS is Islam is very wrong. Islam is a religion of peace. We greet one another by saying, ‘Peace to you.’

Linda Sarsour, executive director of the Arab American Association of New York which co-sponsored the rally , spoke like she was running for office (and those in the know) have no doubt that’s where she’s headed : Elected Office.

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

Sarsour told Salon, in the past few weeks, as presidential candidates like Donald Trump and Ben Carson have ramped up their Islamophobic rhetoric and proposed explicitly anti-Muslim policies, there has been a rapid increase in the number of attacks and threats against Muslim Americans.

“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.”

Linda Sarsour, the safe face of  a ‘moderate’ Islam.  Just don’t read or listen to her racist screeds and the electorate can remain blissfully unaware . (Link to her video from multi-faith menorah lighting on Dec 12)


SARSOUR
  tweeted – “This country right here was built on the backs of black people and immigrants”

America – BAD.  (The Donald VERY Bad)


They have the answers –  bloviating from every sign:


Another sign : “If you stop bombing and OCCUPYING their countries, there won’t be MILLIONS of refugees…. etc”


As I left, this banner below caught my eye:  Halkların Demokratik Kongresi. The HDP is seen as the Turkish variant of the Greek SYRIZA and the Spanish Podemos parties, similar in their anti-capitalist stance

DSC_6122 copyThe Peoples’ Democratic Party originates from the Peoples’ Democratic Congress (Halkların Demokratik Kongresi, HDK), a platform composed of various groups including left wing parties Revolutionary Socialist Workers’ Party, Labour Party, Socialist Party of the Oppressed, Socialist Democracy Party, Socialist Party of Refoundation, the Greens and the Left Party of the Future DSC_6122 copy2

Human Rights. The U.N. vs the U.S. Accusations of oppression by those who are the real oppressors. (Not the US) Which begs these final questions, “Who are the actual oppressors? Who is actual purveyor of racism and hatred?”

Pamela Geller asks, “Do Muslims Around the World Really Hate the United States? Yes.”

The hatred of infidels is a religious imperative in Islam. No matter how fast we dance, appease, pay, accommodate, and submit, the hatred and holy war will not cease. On the contrary, the more we submit and reward the hatred and terror, the more we will have to surrender.

AFSI hosts members of Druze Community from Israel (2-18-15) video/pics

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2015 – NYC

afsi logo

AFSI (Americans For A Safe Israel)  hosted an enlightening evening with members of the Druze community from Israel. We met in an intimate setting of a NY apartment with introductions by Judy Freedman Kadish of AFSI
DSC_9068 copy

Most of the presentation was lead by a man whose name I do not have. (He says his name quickly in the video.) A retired IDF Colonel and also an Israeli Druze. To begin, he explained what it means to be a Druze. Some will say that the  Druze are a sect of Islam, in his explanation, he says this is not so. (I’m sure there is much that can be discussed on this topic that was not discussed here)
DSC_9073 copy

Later on we heard from Koftan Halabi, chairman and founder of the Druze Veterans Association . Importantly, they shared how committed they are to Israel.

We also met the 21 years old widow of Zidan Saif, Rinal. Her husband was the brave Druze police officer who, in November 2014,  gave his life trying to protect the Jews who were murdered in a terror attack as they were praying in a synagogue in Jerusalem.

A member of Rabbi Levine’s family was introduced. She offered her thanks to the family for Zidan’s sacrifice.

Saif, a 30 years old  traffic control inspector in the Jerusalem police, was one of the first two policemen to arrive at the scene to confront the two terrorists,. He left behind a wife, a four-months-old baby, parents and five siblings….
Master-Sergeant Zidan Saif sacrificed his life to save others and was murdered in the attack in Har Nof in Jerusalem.”

Later, the Colonel led a very personable Q and A.

Anti-Israel Protest vs Pro-Israel: a look back at July & August (pics & vids)

The summer of 2014. One anti-Israel rally too many. Annoying. Repetitive.  I stopped posting. (a temporary silence)

“There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture.”retro-tv-test-pattern-14395530Then, on August 17th, the Pamela Geller/Robert Spencer Rally , “Support For Israel and Religious Minorities” was held in Union Square- NYC. Even though we are walk in the shadow of Global Horrors, I left feeling energized by such a wonderful, spirited community.

What follows now, in Three Parts, are different events (Pro and Anti Israel) from July and August. Beginning with “We The Living Support Israel”

PART ONE

afdo-pro-israle-rallyFrom Pamela Geller

“For the first time, defenders of Israel and representatives of minorities persecuted by Islamic jihadists from around the world gathered together to stand for life and for freedom. Finally, the truth.

Our speakers provided harrowing insight into the full breadth and depth of the havoc and destruction that Islamic jihadists have unleashed upon the world. New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind gave a stirring appeal for Israel in its struggle against the jihad, and was seconded by the eloquent Ethiopian Jewish spokesman Mordechai Tasman and an IDF soldier who spoke of his own experiences. Dr. Mordechai Kedar flew from Israel for the rally, and showed how the jihadists are proceeding according to quranic imperatives.

What was unprecedented and groundbreaking about our rally was that these strong defenders of Israel were joined by others: Yazidi spokesman Haider Elias, the toweringly courageous and eloquent Sudanese freedom fighter Simon Deng, Palestinian Christian Mazzen Warra, Pastor Matthew Singh of Christians United for Israel, Indian human rights activist Arish Sahani, and Kurdish spokesman Salar Motidi — all of them recognized that we all face the same foe, and all of them ringingly affirmed the necessity for us to stand together for freedom.”

Playlist of 15 great videos. Wonderful speakers gave support to Israel and to other victims of devout Islamists. We heard from the victims. We heard their warnings.

Concern for those who fear for their lives 24/7 rang through the air. Cries and pleas ignored by the media. They can’t handle the truth. So they ignore it.

[gigya src=”http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649″ width=”500″ flashvars=”offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=/photos/pamelahall/sets/72157646411955130/show/&page_show_back_url=/photos/pamelahall/sets/72157646411955130/&set_id=72157646411955130&jump_to=” allowFullScreen=”true” ]

We sang of Hope, Hatikva, of Yerushalim. A crowd favorite was , “Hashem Melech, Hashem Malach“,  The Lord is King!

It was a fabulous rally.

Perhaps “new blood”, like Ari Lesser, will expose the media lies and propaganda with his hip-hop lyrics (which you can enjoy in the video playlist above) His lyrics smartly meet the challenge for the Next Generation.

“This is their Battle. Their Future.”

A great day for freedom lovers. Inspired. Our counter protests grow.

PART TWO

Thinking about our media battles. Looking back at July and August. I am posting some pictures and videos of anti-Israel protests from the summer of  ’14

August 1, 2014. Columbus Circle. NYC.

Community Organizers prop-up these Muslim protests. Soc/Commie/Progs working behind-the-scenes to kill Western Civilization one protest-at-a-time. Fools and Tools. They. Never. Stop.

Slideshow August 1st PRO-Israel COUNTER PROTEST:  Emotions ran deep from those who came out to support Israel in the midst of another anti-Israel hate-fest. They hung in there, even though the police kept moving them from corner to corner.

[gigya src=”http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649″ width=”500″ flashvars=”offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=/photos/pamelahall/sets/72157645744540418/show/&page_show_back_url=/photos/pamelahall/sets/72157645744540418/&set_id=72157645744540418&jump_to=” allowFullScreen=”true” ]

Slideshow August 1st -Anti-Israel Rally – Columbus Circle. Offensive signs filled with  LIES; accusing Israel of ‘genocide’, of being Nazis. 

[gigya src=”http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649″ width=”500″ flashvars=”offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=/photos/pamelahall/sets/72157646149386142/show/&page_show_back_url=/photos/pamelahall/sets/72157646149386142/&set_id=72157646149386142&jump_to=” allowFullScreen=”true” ]

Death to Israel chants. Fists pumped in the air. Angry. Hateful. No call for peace. Not real peace. Not from these professional agitators. The leftist agitprop of genocidal hatred rang through the air, “Stop the killing. Stop the Hate”. Pleas meant to mislead the gullible press who choose to ignore the Nazi-like fists pounding over-head.

The heart-felt pain of one woman who came to support Israel .

They called this ‘hate’.

All I saw was despair. (August 1st playlist 5 short videos)

They NEVER stop.

This next rally was a “Takbir-fest”,  in July.

 July 17 , 2014 – Times Square-Pumping fists. Screaming. Yelling. Chants-of-Hate.

Intifada, Intifada and “Takbir, Takbir, Takbir” (allah is greatest)

 To be Free from Fear. Free Of Islam.  Free from Tyranny. From brutal, murderous Savages. That would be REAL Peace.

All the isms want ‘peace’. Communism, fascism, islamism etc.Their peace where everybody agrees with their philosophy/religion and always does what they are told. Non-conformists are of course severely punished or murdered.

The battle for peace continues as we fight to stop the Media lies and distortions.

Never Again means Never Again….

PART THREE

Protests. Rallies. Counter-Protests.
Be Aware. Be Ready.

… evil WILL continue to thrive in this world until people make a conscious, deliberate, decision and effort to face it, grab it by the horns and and defeat it.

Wishing won’t do anything. Complaining does nothing but delight our enemies. Confrontation is the only way to deal with it.

Stand Up. Speak Out. Fight Back!
