"Music is intended to transcend political barriers and promote cultural exchange, pluralism, and diversity. Instead, Roger Waters is promoting hate. The Jewish Defense League will continue to take actions against Roger Waters until he renounces antisemitism in all of its forms, including the unjust boycott of the Jewish state." [Face Book]
Roger Waters has been a vocal advocate for BDS and anti-Israel rhetoric making it imperative that organizations like the JDL and AFSI hit the streets in opposition to his anti-Israel, anti Jewish animus.
Still, many of the passersby outside the Belasco had never heard about the anti- Jewish, anti-Israel agit-prop supported by Waters (and Moore).
Many, like this woman, were sorry they had tickets for the Barclay Center.
Roger Waters may be a giant to some, but this is one despicable human being coming to Brooklyn's Barclay Center on September 11th and 12th.
al-Quds Day, June 23, 2017. The anti-Israel LIES and agitprop returned to Times Square. Again.
Every year. Same ol', Same ol'. (Rinse. Repeat)
Commies and their anti-Israel chums (Muslims and the Neturei Karta) gathered on Seventh avenue to proclaim - LOUDLY- that the Holy Land. Israel. Jerusalem (al-Quds). The Temple Mount (al Aqsa mosque). The City of David. ALL are the 'ancestral' property of those "Palestinain" pretenders from Jordan ("victims' of the Jews).
The Big LIE, claiming to be "Palestinians". You name it. They claim it. "From the River to the Sea". In Arabic, Jerusalem is known as al-Quds : "The Holy" or "The Holy Sanctuary".
Veteran Communist organizers run the 'show' along with Cyrus McGoldrick (once head of NY-CAIR.
Many of the speakers SCREAMED their message of HATE in Times Square, except for Sara Flounders. She spewed just as much hatred for Israel and America, but in an oddly quiet tone. Either way, it's still HATE. But, TODAY, they did not "OWN the streets". They were not happy.
As the JDL- NY counter-protest continued, walking back and forth with the JDL and Israeli flag, sullen was added to the Communist demeanor.
The al-Quds protest leaders slipped profanity into their pro-forma anti-Zionist, anti-America diatribes. They were not happy.
Even the always confident Cyrus McGoldrick seemed to grow weary of the JDL-NY commotion.
The JDL-NY contingent, like gnats on a hot summer might, were annoying but it was legal.
.... just keep walking ...
So the Israeli, American,Trump in 2020 and JDL flags strolled back and forth.
Including an "al-Quds is HATE" sign.
The whistles. The rams horn. The acoustic megaphones. The jeering back at the speakers. It all worked. But next time, I'd recommend MORE WHISTLES (maybe more cowbell!)
The JDL-NY counter-protest hung in there. Unrelenting. Countering the LIES. A new day was dawning.
The NK - holding HORRID Nazi signs - were confronted by passersby, the JDL and a guy in a truck. draped with Israeli flags. He stopped that truck right beside the Neturei Karta.
The truck-guy started shouting at them in Hebrew.
Then, he drove SLOWLY down 7th. Next to the protest pens.
Yelling at the protestors, they yelled back and threw signs as well as other small detritus at his truck. [caught this action in the video at about 1:38] All while NYC Students for Justice in Palestine organizer, Nerdeen Kiswani, was screaming from the stage.
Soon after, very soon, the the police closed that traffic lane next to the barricades. No way could he, or anyone else, make a second pass.
Seems the war of flags and banners led to an arrest on the Left. No matter. Lefties LOOOVE anything that gets them more attention. Especially arrests.
Nick’s
arrest took place midway through Joe Catron’s speech for the Samidoun
Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network. A small team of demonstrators
engaged in jail support arrived with Nick to the al-Quds Day Iftar
organized by NYC Students for Justice in Palestine after the
demonstration, meeting with cheers and strong solidarity and support.
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network denounces the unjust and illegitimate arrest by the NYPD of Nick Maniace.
Such attacks are in no way surprising from a police department engaged in daily terror against Black people and other oppressed communities. This incident reflects ongoing NYPD support for Zionism and racism and the framework of repression and surveillance targeting the Palestine movement and Arab and Muslim organizing and community existence.
We urge full support for Nick Maniace at his scheduled court date on 28 August and, most importantly, continued and intensified organizing, protest and action against racism, Zionism, imperialism and colonialism, from NYPD repression on the streets of New York to Zionist settler colonialism in occupied Palestine.
In my own words, as I watched Sara Flounders argue against the arrest and the JDL-NY's permit.
JDL-NY had a PERMIT, not a sound permit, but an NYPD permit that allowed them to protest across from the al-Quds protest, challenging the al-Quds lies, relentlessly. This annoyed dedicated Ramsey Clarke Commie, Sara Flounders.
I over heard Sara arguing with a police Capt. "Why was the JDL allowed to be so close to their protest?" (the shouting - WHISTLING)
She waved her permit form. The NYPD Captain said the JDL-NY had a permit, too. Sara shocked, "THEY have a permit?" (Capt) YES! ( Sara) flustered annoyed. Jammed her cell phone to her ear - making a call - to someone. (they do this a lot when manipulating the police) BUT- heh- nothing worked!
The Captain waved her away. Crossed back to the al-Quds pen, on the east side of Seventh Ave, telling the officer to get her out of the street. She was blocking traffic. (sweet)
As for that ARREST, don't let their whining fool you. The Commies LOVE to be arrested : victimology 101.
More on the arrest in a comment from the "belly-ache" of the beast:
BTW - while we're on "Fact or Fiction" reportage- found an odd reference while searching Google for "Israel". WHAT pray tell is THIS? Google- protesting history?
"DEPRECATION ANNOUNCED"from Google?
Definition: of Deprecated a recommendation against using it "to express disapproval"
Please note - the sponsors dedicated to spewing these FREE al -Quds LIES, maybe some also work for GOOGLE. (friends in 'high' places?)
The list of sponsors for al Quds
Names and organizations: Students for Justice in Palestine organizer Nerdeen Kiswani. Speakers included Kiswani of NYC SJP, Joe Catron of Samidoun, Sara Flounders of the International Action Center, Bernadette Ellorin and Mike Legaspi of BAYAN USA, longtime activist Esperanza Martel, Richard Kossally of Peoples’ Power Assembly, Mike Bento of NYC Shut it Down, Syed Istafa Naqvi of the Islamic Association of North America, Shahid Comrade of the Pakistan USA Freedom Forum, Larry Holmes of the Workers World Party and Lawrence Hamm of the Peoples Organization for Progress, reflecting an alliance of social justice movements.
They do not relent. Neither should we. The TRUTH must be heard. No matter what the Commies and Muslim "fakestinians' claim, these inconvenient (and IGNORED) FACTS remain what they are : FACT- NOT LIES!
"... there are no records to support the Palestinian narrative. In history, art and literature there is no trace at all of any Muslim people referred to by anybody as “Palestinians.”
Records show that it was 19th and 20th century Jewish settlement and the resulting employment opportunities that drew successive waves of Arab immigrants to Palestine. “The Arab population shows a remarkable increase ….. partly due to the import of Jewish capital into Palestine and other factors associated with the growth of the [Jewish] National Home..” (The Peel Commission Report - 1937)
“..in the Jewish settlement Rishon l’Tsion founded in 1882, by the year 1889, the forty Jewish families settled there, had attracted more than four hundred Arab families.... Many other Arab villages had sprouted in the same fashion.” (Joan Peters - From Time Immemorial p. 252 - referenced further as: FTI)
British PM Winston Churchill said in 1939: “.. far from being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into the country [Palestine]..”
Before the Six Day War in 1967, when Jordan controlled the West Bank and Egypt ruled in Gaza, there was never any suggestion on the part of the "Palestinians" that they wanted independence in their ancestral homeland. The reason was that the "Palestinian" nation hadn't been invented yet.
In fact, before the State of Israel was born, the term "Palestinians" was used by the Jews to refer to themselves and their organizations. “The Palestine Post”, the Palestine Foundation Fund, Palestine Airways, and the Palestine Symphony Orchestra were all purely Jewish enterprises.
We first hear of Arabs referred to as "Palestinians" when Egypt’s President Nasser, with help from the Russian KGB, established the "Palestine Liberation Organization" in 1964. It was only during the 1970s that the newly minted “Palestinians” began to promote their narrative through murder and assassination. The Arabs have justified their attacks as acts of the indigenous people struggling for national liberation.[snip]
The claim that “Palestinians” are the indigenous people of Israel and that most of the present Palestinian Arabs have lived in these lands since time immemorial is a total fraud. "

Feb 15, 2017. Grand Central NYC. A National "Day of ACTION".
Arranged by those lovable Fascists, the "NY Jews For Peace".
Their face book instructions:, "Meet under the clock, 5;30 . Chants 6 PM. March to Trump tower 6:30" The commuters HATE this use and abuse of a public space. Jammed with thumb sucking Leftards.
(Flickr slide show of the action)
This
was "Jerusalem,Israel" vs the BDS insanity of the NY Jews for
"Peace"- during Rush Hour. Really. Now? Since the rush hour madness is
in full swing. many commuters were aggressive - angry- their tone and
body language said it all- as they did a perfunctory excuse me rushing
for their trains.
Annoyed that they suffered this preachy knot of
anti- Israel, anti- Trump, pro- Islamist FASCISTI. These are the
hard-core militants who hate the America we love.
A short video as I took "a trip "around the Gordian knot- planted Stage Center.
Many,
MANY police are pulled off the street to baby sit these insurgents - as
they assemble and then marched from Grand Central to Trump Tower. Jew
HATING is legal here. Not exaggerating. This is a very familiar crowd.
They HATE-hate any thing and anyone that threatens their LEFTARD utopia.
LOVE is NOT what they do best. Stir the revolution. That's the ticket.
RISE UP and march us all to the ovens. But LOVE --- is just a word.
Hatred
of Israel. Jews and America. Make no mistake. That is what they preach.
That is what the Love. Smiles coming from the wicked-at-heart should
send chills through your spine. If they win this battle for the hearts
and minds of the masses. Be afraid. Be very afraid. ++
Yet, the Jihadis remain a mystery to those who control the message. The media (the President) BLAME anyone or anything BUT NOT Islam. Islam, is the Religion of "Peace".
And then came RAMADAN 2016 (June 5th to July 5) On Wednesday, June 8, 2016 (the day before the "Shame on Cuomo" protest) Jihadis MURDERED innocent people sitting in a restaurant in Tel Aviv. In celebration, Muslims shared candies, laughing, smiling, cheering for this 'successful' act of terrorism.
Hamas has praised the attack ... Fireworks were set off in Gaza and Hebron in celebration of the attack.[48]
Some Palestinian citizens in East Jerusalem and Tulkarm started to celebrate the event by handing out candies ... Jpost reported that Salma al-Jamal, a Palestinian news anchor working at Al-Jazeera TV, wrote on Twitter: "The Ramadan operation is the best answer to stories about 'peace process' that some people are trying in vain to revive."
On Thursday, June 9, 2016. The "Shame on Governor Cuomo" protest gathered outside the NY Governor's Manhattan office building.
Soc/Commie/Progs, many anti-Israel Jews, were angry.
Very angry that the Governor had signed an executive order against the BDS movement.
Jewish Voice for Peace, a social justice group that co-organized the protest, blasted Cuomo’s executive order as an unconstitutional “attempt to repress the growing movement for Palestinian rights.”
Gov. Cuomo proclaimed, “If you boycott Israel, New York will boycott you.” “I am signing an Executive Order that says very clearly we are against the BDS movement,” Cuomo tweeted on Sunday.
About the BDS bill: "Gov. Cuomo's executive order – the first of its kind signed by a governor – demands that a list of businesses supporting BDS directly or indirectly be drawn up over the next six months."
“In New York, we lead by example. We are also a place of action. We want to take immediate action because we want Israel to know that we are on their side,” the governor said ...
[...] A wave of anti-BDS legislation has been introduced, and in some cases passed, in Congress and in state legislatures across the country, including South Carolina, Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, California, Indiana, and Virginia."
“This order sends the message that this state will do everything in its power to end this hateful, intolerant campaign. New York and Israel share an unbreakable bond and I pray that the Israeli and Palestinian people will find a way to live side by side and find peace, prosperity, and security,” he said.
Next, videos and slideshows. A look at the "Shame On Cuomo" protestors and the stalwart opposition.
The "Thank You Gov Cuomo" counter-protest infiltrated the sidewalk maize of Lefties, their THANK YOU Governor signs held high over the crowd.
They walked within the gridlocked Commie-circle of bodies that was thickest at the entrance to the office building (of course).
The Commies pretended to co-operate with the police who worked valiantly to keep them moving.
But, the well-rehearsed sidewalk blockage ("somehow") did not get loosened .... while the drum, drum, drummer kept on drumming along.

RAMADAN 2016 [June 5-July 5] there have (already) ... been Jihad murders... There will be many more .... as many Muslims [observing Ramadan] worldwide read the entire Qur’an ... [it is a FACT that]
Jihad groups routinely and unanimously couch their appeals and justifications in Qur’anic terms.
