Anti-Israel Protesters Disrupt Black Friday Shopping in Boston and Other Cities

[LegalInsurrection] “Protests commenced in several cities around the world on Black Friday as demonstrators gathered to show solidarity with the Palestinians during the start of the holiday shopping season.”

The radical left continues to win friends and influence people.

Anti-Israel protesters decided to make a further nuisance of themselves by using Black Friday to march and yell at people who are just trying to live their lives.

FOX News reports:

Anti-Israel protests pop up on Black Friday during International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People

Protests commenced in several cities around the world on Black Friday as demonstrators gathered to show solidarity with the Palestinians during the start of the holiday shopping season.

In Boston, a large crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters were seen inside the Copley Place shopping center calling for an end to the war between Israel and Hamas terrorists. The Boston Police Department told Fox News Digital that no arrests were made and no damage to the mall was reported.

In New York City, protesters filled Manhattan’s streets on Fifth Avenue and Columbus Circle to mark the day.

“We are all Palestinians,” the crowd was heard chanting.

No arrests were made Friday, the New York Police Department said. A day earlier, pro-Palestinian protesters briefly disrupted the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In Chicago, demonstrators blocked traffic on Michigan Avenue as they called for the Biden administration to end aid to Israel.

Joe Biden got involved in his own, stupid way.

The Daily Wire reported:

Meanwhile, a vacationing President Biden was seen leaving Nantucket Bookworks clutching a copy of “The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonial Conquest and Resistance, 1917-2017.”

The book’s author, Columbia University professor emeritus Rashid Khalidi, responded to the news by telling The New York Post, “I do not speak to the Post (or the Times for that matter), so this is not for publication, but my reaction is that this is 4 years too late.”

As The Post noted, the outlet “did not offer or agree to any terms conditioning that response as off the record or on background.”

Khalidi’s book posits that “the modern history of Palestine can best be understood in these terms: as a colonial war waged against the indigenous population, by a variety of parties, to force them to relinquish their homeland to another people against their will.”
Anybody got that Obama/Rashid Khalidi video?

#9  The Ottomans conquered the Christian Byzantines. The Byzantines, as classical pagan Romans, had conquered the Jews. The Allies conquered the Ottomans, and gave their Hashemite Arab allies kingdoms in Trans-Jordan and Iraq as a reward, but when the brand new Hashemite king of Trans-Jordan refused to ratify the Versailles Treaty because it gave France mandatory responsibilities over Syria (including Lebanon) that he had expected to get, Britain withdrew their support for continued Hashemite rule of Mecca; within half a year the House of Saud had conquered it, and was recognized as the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Iraqi grandson, Faisal II, was executed in a coup in 1958.

The League of Nations gave Britain mandatory authority over Cis-Jordan, a.k.a. the Ottoman province of Palestine, to be held in trust for the Jews until they were ready for self-rule as part of the same document establishing the Hashemite kingdom of Trans-Jordan. The mandate required that Britain prepare the Jews for self-rule exactly as the Arabs of Syria and Lebanon were to be prepared by France for self-rule, fulfilling the British promise to the Jews for a national homeland there as made in the Balfour Declaration. A commitment for parallel Arab independent self-rule was repeatedly rejected by the Arabs, and when the Jews declared their independence in 1948, Trans-Jordan conquered the West Bank region (Cis-Jordan) and Egypt conquered the Gaza Strip. Israel incidentally freed both territories from foreign rule in the process of driving out the invading Arab armies during the Six Day War in 1967. The subsequent hope to prepare the local Arabs for self-rule has been continually disappointed, as they far prefer plotting against and murdering Jews to actually doing the work necessary to function as a self-governing nation.

#7  The land was Ottoman. With Jewish, Christian, Muslim , and other subjects. For hundreds of years. Before that, the same basic groups were ruled by others. WWI happened, and the Ottoman rule ended; and British rule began. This professor is part of the sincere movement to (1) Claim victim status, while simultaneously (2) Taking over the polity and culture of what he would define as infidel lands.

#3  Seems there were other, similar "events" coordinated on that same day. Saw some glowing reports on this and the efforts of authorities to counter the coming deportations in the local rags.
