June 22, 2025 -Times Square

The Peoples Forum lead the protest along with other pro-Palestinian and socialist activist groups that included the ANSWER Coalition, the National Iranian American Council and the Palestinian Youth Movement.

“People protesting the Trump administration and its U.S. bombing of Iran gathered in New York City and other U.S. cities holding anti-war signs and flags. They claimed that “ The people of the United States do not want a war on Iran it was done not in response to any imminent  threat: Trump is a War Criminal

“The people of the United States and the world reject this new war of aggression, and will hold emergency mobilizations in the streets across the United States on Sunday, June 22. This is the critical moment to say NO to yet another war to “remake” the Middle East and steal the region’s vast natural resources.

Part 2 video -Pro Israel and America Patriots were on hand to counter-protest.

Trump and his war hawks are launching a new war that puts the world at risk, will cause the bloodshed of Iranians (and ultimately Americans) and only benefits the military-industrial complex.”

“The people say NO!”

Palestinian Youth Movement’s Anti Israel Maersk Protest outside NYPL

** While the media deals with the attack on President Trump, the anti Zionist movement does not rest. **

The through line of anti-Semitism for thousands of years has been the denial of truth and the promotion of lies. These lies range in scope from conspiracy theories to Holocaust denial to the blood libel to the currently popular claims that Zionism is racism, that Jews are settler colonialists, and that Jewish civilization isn’t indigenous to the land of Israel.

These lies are all part of the foundational big lie: that anti-Semitism itself is a righteous act of resistance against evil, because Jews are collectively evil and have no right to exist.

Today, the big lie is winning,” Dara Horn writes.  [The Atlantic]

“US-Israeli genocide on Gaza, and the launch of a new arms embargo campaign, Mask Off Maersk

….68 percent of Israel’s weapons are sent from the US via logistics companies like Maersk.”

Cut Ties With GENOCIDE:
CUT TIES WITH MAERSK

The Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) members Aisha Mansour and Celine Qussiny plan to “force Maersk to stop the transportation of arms to Israel by isolating Maersk’s Israel portfolio from its overall bottom line.

Maersk is  a leading shipping company in Denmark.

From May 24 to May 26, thousands of students, workers, organizers, and people of conscience gathered from around the world to attend the People’s Conference for Palestine. Convening in Detroit, Michigan, home to one of the largest Arab diasporas in North America, the union town was the perfect host to a weekend brimming with revolutionary energy where participants and speakers shared ideas, assessed tactics, and strategized for a free Palestine.”

Mask off Maersk’s involvement in Israel’s genocide 

FOUR VIDEOS with two speakers. They reveal a lot about the indoctrination of this anti-Israel /anti-U.S. youth movement.

Video 1: Lots of chanting ALWAYS before anyone speaks as both sides gathered.

.Video 2: A speaker from the Palestinian Youth Movement’s Maersk Protest (outside NYPL on Fifth avenue) gave opening remarks after all the chanting.

Video 3: A speaker from City Workers Union spoke at the Palestinian Youth Movement’s Maersk Protest (outside NYPL on Fifth avenue) . Enjoyed that the “Mic Check” with the crowd was a bit messy.

Last Video: The Pro-Israel movement gathered to oppose the Palestinian Youth Movement.

The Pro-Israel movement gathered to oppose the Palestinian Youth Movement’s LIES.

Having learned from Nerdeen Kiswani, one of their leaders who never relents, neither do the youthful members of the PYM.

“We don’t want zionists in Palestine, NYC, our schools, on the train, ANYWHERE,” Nerdeen Kiswani, founder of Within Our Lifetime, wrote on X. “This is free speech, it is saying we don’t want racists here.” (Nerdeen Kiswani)

Head of antisemitic group calls to expel Zionists from New York City

If only they were capable of hearing and seeing the crimes of HAMAS that murdered and kidnapped so many innocents. But, these students are now cold-blooded racists, part of the legacy of the falafelstin terrorists.

This was not resistance
THIS was TERRORISM.
