July 13, 2010 at Hunter College. The NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission held a Public Hearing on the landmark designation proposal for 45-47 Park Place , the Cordoba Initiative...aka The Ground Zero Mosque. The meeting lasted approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Slide show of pictures:
.
Video of meeting posted in 5 parts: Part 1 of 5 begins with the Commission Chairman, Robert B. Tierney and a staff member read a description of the building. The first speakers represented the mosque and opposed landmark status. However, the Cordoba Initiative reps quickly digressed to a discussion of the religious reasons for the building rather than the landmark status. Then those who support the landmark status for the building began to speak in response to both, landmark and mosque.
.
Part 2 of 5 continues with speakers who are for and against the landmark status amongst these (in Part 2) are Robert Spencer (more from Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch ) and Rick Lazio. However, the Cordoba Initiative had da'wha on the agenda so it was a meeting that had a very difficult time staying on topic which was, landmark status!
.
Part 3 of 5 ( in switching tapes, lost name of woman speaking at the top) Speakers continue from both sides. At approx. 15:00 there are three speakers in support of landmark status who are very compelling. Also, in Part 3, the lunatic commie heckler is finally removed from the auditorium (that was over an hour in to the Public Hearing) Very unfortunate that the police permitted him to interrupt the speakers for so long; speakers who supported landmark status.
.
Part 4 of 5: July 13, 2010,Hunter College. The NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission held a Public Hearing on the landmark designation proposal for 45-47 Park Place (aka The Ground Zero Mosque). The speakers continue from both sides. There were even more speakers who lost family on 9-11 and spoke in support of the landmark status.
.
Part 5 of 5: Even as the meeting wound down, and the press was thinning out, there were still quite a few speakers, some of whom were very articulate as they pressed for landmark status. The press that remained focused so closely on the pro-mosque speakers, they manage to miss some very compelling speakers from the pro-landmark side.
UPDATE: According the the NY Daily News, the name Cordoba Initiative will disappear. Seems El Gamal and company as they held their quick confab off on the side of the audience (post Commission ) have grown weary of hearing the historical, factual meaning of Cordoba . So let's put some "Lipstick on the pig"! The new name for Cordoba House is now the rather BLAND: Park51. (Read more HERE on this obfuscation from Atlas Shrugs)
UPDATE (7-9-10) Added second video (please scroll down) and also added (7-18-10) an edit of Part 1 with the interviews only of Joanna Marzullo, NY Ice President:
. In support of the State of Arizona, Patriots from NY-Ice, held a counter-rallyat 46th street and Park Avenue in Manhattan.
The progressive-leftist-soc-commies and their ubiquitous unions (like SEIU)
...As well as the new ACORN ( NY Communities for Change). All they did was CHANGE their name....
They Leftists held their anti-American rally in front of the Major League Baseball Headquarters (at 46th and Park Ave)
And listened to speeches from the predictable leftist politicians like Workers Party (ne: Marxist) Comptroller, John Liu (note his SEIU- PURPLE tie...)
Caught some film of two of their agitator- loons in Part 1 and heard words of support for Arizona and their Governor from Joanna Marzullo , President of NY-Ice
The Lefties sent two of their loons out to grab the attention of the press...like they need to 'get ' their attention...They even had SEIU handlers to wrangle them...
Part 2 (video) Excerpts of some familiar politicians , like John (Workers Family Party) Liu, NYC Comptroller, and the very ethically challenged (and FORMER House Ways and Means Chairman) Charlie Rangel. Their speeches of "out-rage" were the same old propaganda and " Lie, Lies and More Lies."
On a positive note,the new legislation, SB 1070 is due to go into effect on July 29. The State of Arizona intends to enforce Federal Immigration Law. Doing the Job the Feds refuse to do!
WE WELCOME YOU TO NEW YORK AND WE STAND WITH ISRAEL
There was a show of support for Prime Minister Netanyahu, on Thursday, July 8, 2010
Following his meeting with President Obama in Washington, the Prime Minister addressed the Council on Foreign Relations, where he was met by some anti-Zionist groups who protested his appearance.
This pro-Israel rally was sponsored by AmbassaDOR, American Friends of Likud, American Zionist Movement, AMIT, Dor Chadash, Emunah of America, Fuel for Truth, JICNY, Manhattan Jewish Experience, Mercaz USA, Zionist Organization of the Conservative Movement, NA'AMAT USA, National Council of Young Israel, Northeast Queens Jewish Community Council, Northern New Jersey Region of Hadassah, Queens Jewish Community Council, StandWithUs, The AISH Center of NY, West Side Sephardic Synagogue, Women's League for Conservative Judaism
Slide show of both sides:
Neturei Karta, they usually just stand around confusing the passers-by...
They decided to try some chanting at this protest:
Perhaps next time they might choose a different leader since their chants got just a bit too complicated....and basically ...fizzled .... out.... On a more serious note, it is so unfortunate ...so FOOLISH....that the Neturei Karta want to 'hang-out' with these leftists:
After we left. As we walked back to the subway...this was embedded in the sidewalk at 60th St and 5th Avenue...
