US anti-Israel activists throw their weight behind Los Angeles immigration protests
[IsrelTimes] Protest groups urge followers to join demonstrations, link Immigration and Customs Enforcement to Israel: ‘This is a global infrastructure of state violence and we must dismantle it’Anti-Israel activist groups have thrown their weight behind immigration protests in Los Angeles and other US cities that started on Friday. The protests in Los Angeles began when immigration authorities arrested dozens of people around the city. The demonstrations have seen vandalism, property destruction, highway blockages and festivities with police, prompting an escalating response from federal authorities. Leading anti-Israel activist groups, including National Students for Justice in Paleostine, the Paleostinian Youth Movement, PAL-Awda, Within Our Lifetime, and campus protesters have urged their followers to join the demonstrations, tying the unrest to Israel. National Students for Justice in Paleostine called on its followers to protest, and posted an image of Trump administration officials with a swastika, calling the administration "the fourth reich." "We have a duty to resist oppression wherever it manifests: from the barrios of LA to the refugee camps of Bethlehem," National Students for Justice in Paleostine said. "We will globalize the intifada." "Death to the occupation, from the West Bank to LA," the group said. The anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace also compared the protests to the Holocaust, saying, "Never again means never again for anyone. Not for Paleostinians under siege. Not for im "The same surveillance drones used over Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect.

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... now fly over the US-Mexico border," the group said. "This is a global infrastructure of state violence and we must dismantle it together." Anti-Israel groups also urged their followers to join protests in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... , New York and other cities. "As the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza reaches its most The holy warrior group Unity of Fields, formerly Paleostine Action US, called for "an intifada, people’s war" in Los Angeles and for more property destruction. The group shared images of Molotov cocktails, the improvised Molotov cocktails used to target hostage protesters in Colorado last week.
“This level of militant, revolutionary internationalism in the heart of Amerika was unthinkable before the al-Aqsa Flood,” Unity of Fields said, using the Hamas term for the October 2023 invasion of Israel. “We owe everything to the anti-colonial armed resistance of the Palestinian people. Sinwar and Deif and all of the brave warriors.” The group said on Friday that Apple had suspended its Telegram channel as it agitated for upheaval in Los Angeles. The group has repeatedly supported violence, including by backing Elias Rodriguez, charged with killing two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, DC, last month. Alongside pro-immigrant graffiti, vandals at the protests have scrawled anti-Israel slogans such as “Free Palestine,” “intifada,” “Israel trains ICE,” and inverted red triangles, a Hamas symbol. At the protests, some demonstrators cover their faces with keffiyehs, a symbol of the pro-Palestinian movement. Video shows a protester wearing Palestinian terror group apparel and waving a Mexican flag in front of a burning vehicle. In San Francisco, protesters vandalized a Jewish-owned community center with antisemitic graffiti. Anti-Israel activists in the US have long sought to tie their movement to unrelated domestic and global issues, from library closures to law enforcement. When wildfires ravaged Los Angeles earlier this year, many of the groups blamed the fires on Israel, sparking backlash from Jewish groups. Posted by: trailing wife 2025-06-11 |
