Massive pro-Palestine protests erupt in New York City: HUNDREDS of demonstrators try to force their way into the World Trade Center as Times Square is taken over
2023-12-29
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Chants of 'Biden you will see, Palestine will be free' and ' Israel bombs, USA pays, how many kids did you kill today?' was part of the rhetoric used

  • The march to the World Trade Center was targeted around the entrance to the Oculus, a massive shopping center that also houses the PATH train

  • It continued the protests in a week where anti-Israel marchers have shut down traffic at JFK Airport

The Zuccotti Park protest was deemed an 'emergency' one by the pro-Palestine group Within Our Lifetime.
WOL started as a spinoff of the New York City branch of Students For Justice in Palestine, and has come to be the place for those who enjoy shouting nasty things and beating up Jews. They claim to be Palestinian youth expressing their demand for a one-state solution, that state being Palestinian and Judenfrei.
There have been over 500 demonstrations across the city since the Hamas terror attack in Israel on October 7 that killed 1,200, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

#17  I am all for ending this rotten nonsense Within Our Lifetime and I would love to see Justice for Palestine. However, my vision of justice is perhaps different than theirs and certainly involves more grapeshot.

As for Chants of 'Biden you will see, Palestine will be free' and ' Israel bombs, USA pays, how many kids did you kill today?' was part of the rhetoric used, that is not rhetoric. Those are mindless slogans. Admittedly, shouting mindless slogans in unison is stimulating to the monkey brain.

#15  Well if NYC doesn't want it to happen, they could stop it. And yet they don't stop it. That means they want it.

Not my problem.

#9  Professional trouble makers. The cause isn't important to them, causing civil unrest is he goal. To be followed by overthrowing the government.

I believe they're being paid, and paid well.

#8  If they are taking anything over, it's because the people who could stop them from doing that aren't doing their job.

Based on my past experience, the leaders are he same people who a few years ago were in charge of the BLM riots.

Professional trouble makers. The cause isn't important to them, causing civil unrest is he goal. To be followed by overthrowing the government.

Most of the crowd is made up of well meaning useful idiots. They provide cover for the hardcore violent thugs.

Question:
Why is the DC SWAMP sitting with their thumbs up their butts, and allowing this potential terrorist problem to grow in the USA?

PLAIN AND SIMPLE
Since its conception, 1,413+ years ago. The Muslim/Islamic faith has called for, allowed, and still promotes the murder of non-believers, females not wearing burkas, honor killings, LGBTQ-PN?'s types, and attacks on various other immoral lifestyle oddities that comprise the Democrat Voting party now. Plus, they still openly practice human slavery and do not acknowledge Female Rights.

Yet! We are told, and see, DC and State Democrat leadership supporting this dangerous "كومة من القرف"?
