Al Quds Day 2022 & calls for dismantling Israel in Herald Square NYC

April 29, 2022 . Al Quds Day 2022. Herald Square. NYC

At 3:30, the protest, hosted by the Muslim Congress and the very hard left Workers World Party, assembled slowly.

Not til about 4 pm was the stage set for the chanting to begin.

Early on, I was challenged as an alt-right Zionist, to which I responded, “Not alt right but I don’t  support wiping Israel off the map. ” To which my inquisitor walked away with a large roll of the eyes.

Then, after some long-winded prayers by a young boy, the speakers began.

Nerdeen Kiswani, their very anti-Semitic leader, spoke with her usual animosity for Israel and all things Zionist. (difficulty filming over the crowd. what mattered were her words)

Nerdeen:Organized by the Muslim Congress on one of the last days of Ramadan“, she continues, “… protesting for our palestinian Muslim brothers and sisters back home who are continuously denied the right to worship. Denied the right to live freely. .. as Muslims it is our moral obligation; our duty to fight injustice where ever we see it … the suffering and the plight of the palestinian people.”

AND WE WILL FREE PALESTINE. WITHIN OUR LIFE TIME. From New York to (? ) palestine GLOBALIZE our INTIFADA.

After the Neturei Karta rabbi spoke, she made the bizarre choice to chant “Judaism, Yes. Zionism, No. The State of Israel MUST GO.”

The Neturei Karta shamefully allow themselves to be used at these protests, espousing their beliefs that there was never to be a State of Israel. Their presence is offensive, since the ‘palestinian‘ lobby uses them as the “Real Jews”.

(Rabbi’s video is excerpted) “On this International al Quds Day, cities around the globe are  standing up in public for al Quds. For Jerusalem. For Justice. For Peace.For the legitimate rights of the palestinian people. The Zionists have not been resting. their “occupation” is continuing. Their aggression in full swing, including killing of men, women and children. Killing journalists. Settlement expansion. on going demolitions. The latest aggression on al Aqsa. This is about the whole occupation which we condemn here today. Pro-palestinian activism is not anti-Semitism. For centuries Jews lived in peace and harmony with their Arab neighbors.The State of israel is not a Jewish State. It is a Zionist State. To be against Zionism is no way anti-Semitic. In fact Jewish people and the Jewish religion are against all of this … rabbis and laymen are opposed to Zionist crimes against the palestinian people and the existence of the State of Israel. We pray for the speedy and peaceful dismantlement of the State of Israel.”

I couldn’t see over the crowd at this location, so after the Neturei Karta spoke, I moved on.

Nothing new to be seen or heard.

Al-Quds (The Holy One)
The historically inaccurate Arabic name
For the City of Jerusalem.

Their press release: “People of conscience gathered this day to express solidarity with all the oppressed human beings of the world and particularly the innocent civilians of “Palestine” who are victimized by the oppressive and racist Zionist regime.” [Face Book]

 “We invite all peace loving people to voice their opposition to the unjust and illegal occupation of the great “Al-Aqsa Mosqueand the usurpation of the Holy Land by the Zionist regime.”

THE TEMPLE MOUNT
The Temple in Jerusalem
Was not built to be a mosque!

Their lies continue: “We rally at Times Square where our speakers shed lights on the atrocities committed by the Zionist state on the oppressed people of “Palestine”. In addition, we will also protest the current Saudi aggression in Yemen.

“We, the citizens of the United States reserve the right to boycott any and all parties involved in practicing racist, discriminatory, and oppressive policies. Stand with us! Stand for your rights” [MuslimCongress.org]

Mayor “Red Bill” De Blasio claims that anti-Semitism is strictly a ‘right-wing movement

“I think the ideological movement that is anti-Semitic is the right-wing movement, … he did not agree with a claim by a reporter that there is also rising anti-Semitism “on the left in the BDS movement and around the world.” The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement is a largely left-wing campaign to ban Israeli products.

I want to be very, very clear, the violent threat, the threat that is ideological is very much from the right,” de Blasio said, adding that the perpetrators trace their history back to Nazism and fascism.” [NY Post]

VIDEO ONE – The crowd on both sides.

Marxists joined with the anti-Israel protestors, as well as the embarrassing Neturei Karta, to deny – again- the right of Israel to exist; attempting to convince the passersby that by renaming Jerusalem  “al-quds”, it would cease to be Jerusalem. Shameful, historical lies that were countered by a lively group of proud Americans who were very pro-Israel.

Rokeya BegumWithin our Lifetime” was the Chant Leader. Rokeya is heard screaming on videos through out the event.

Video TWO – Bill Doares spewed his hateful Workers World Party agitprop.

Video THREE – Joe Catron, Samidoun (“Palestinian” Prisoner Solidarity Network) preached the glories of Socialism:

Video FOURNeturei Karta  prayed for an END to Israel.

Video FIVESarah Flounders  of Marxist Ramsay Clark’s International Action Center has spent a lifetime promoting Communism, working to bring down the American government.

“Al-Quds Day protest organizers claim to have no affiliation with any foreign entity. Funds for Al-Quds are generated by local community organizers who strongly believe in exercising their legal right to protest against oppression.”

CUNY Student Walkout For Sanctuary Campuses – NYC

Dec. 1, 2016- 1 pm – A “National Day of Action for Sanctuary Campuses”. “No Borders. NO Nations

A Student Walk-Out Day, in support of the Sanctuary Movement, hosted by a small group of Anthropology Students from the CUNY Grad Center, as well as members of  the Freedom Socialist Party [info came compliments of Facebook]comments-4-copy

 

 

 

 

Their battle cry: “He Says Go Back, We say Fight Back” Along with the usual chants there was a new one, “Don’t film Fascists!

They never expect any opposition like he PRO-ICE patriots.Enjoyed, in particular, the in-your-face sign, “YOU LOST”.

Outraged by Trump’s promise to end protections and assistance for ILLEGAL migrants, the student marchers made a last minute decision to organize a walk-out. Once in midtown, they intended to present a petition to the CUNY admins at 205 E. 42 st. (CUNY Central). However, someone changed their collective minds. No petition today, just the march to Trump Tower.

 

I had seen enough of these anarchistic Freedom Socialist dabblers.

Why bother to follow them to Trump Tower. Nothing New here Just the Same ol’, Same ol’….

I leave you with a few more signs – here – in the Slideshow
