#NoMuslimBanEver: Emergency Town Hall NYC 6/29

June 29th, 2017 . An Emergency "Town Hall" was called in response to the "Supreme Court Upholds Trump’s Travel Ban". A ban that would affect 6 terrorist Mid-East countries. They were outraged.

At approximately 6 pm, after listening to a number of speakers, the march to 18th St from Union Square commenced.

Sponsored by Linda Sarsour's Arab American Association of New York  and Mpower Change

"Calling directly impacted communities, organizers, faith leaders, labor organizers, activists and allies for an emergency town hall to .discuss latest move by SCOTUS on the Muslim ban.

Make no mistake: the latest SCOTUS ruling is not a partial victory for affected communities. It's still a Muslim and refugee ban and we still need to ORGANIZE. We CANNOT normalize this and forget the context in which this Administration operates: they are motivated by fear-mongering, xenophobia and Islamophobia.

This ruling is ambiguous and confusing and will create chaos once its implemented and we need to PUSH BACK. The most disproportionately impacted will be the people who need to immigrate here the most: refugees.

The Event was co-sponsored by: African Communities Together, New York Immigration Coalition, Network Against Islamophobia, CUNY CLEAR as well as MPower Change and Arab American Association of New York ."

 I found them by accident at Union Square.

A tight circle of protestors and media clamoring to get pictures and video, particularly of NYC Public Advocate, Leticia James, and (Saint) Linda Sarsour of Brooklyn.

Amongst the many speakers were two well-known advocates for open borders and sanctuary cities (yes- even Sharia Law). What they have to say was predictably offensive, but well worth a listen.

First, Leticia James, NYC Public Advocate (Racist and very RED)

The last speaker, was (Saint) Linda, the Sharia-loving, queen-of-the- night.

Once finished speaking, they marched a couple of blocks to SEIU Union Hall where a couple of Back the Ban protestors greeted them. (a troll hung with them briefly)

Of course, there was much angry shouting right back at them, which abated briefly, and then took off again while the meeting took place upstairs.

The strategy directive as always is GET OUT. PROTEST. HIT THE AIRPORTS, even mentioning Independence Day as a day to protest. Forget the Bar-B-Q's and parades. Take the day off and protest. Resist!

BDS Leftists enraged by Cuomo's anti-BDS support for Israel (6-09-16)

 Ramadan 2016 : ISRAEL.(June 8) Murder by Jihad; Orlando (June 10), Mass Murder by Jihad; France (June 14) Murder by JIHAD.

"Ramadan-the Month of Jihad" when Jihadi's "Kill the Infidel".


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.


A confident pro-Israel counter-protest,comprised of AFSI (Americans For A Safe Israel) and JCC Watch members, were a very vivid presence.

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.

The counter-protest in support of Cuomo's anti-BDS executive order.

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.

(proclaiming it to be) “a month of calamity everywhere for nonbelievers”?

Brace yourself: there are (still) 16 days to go.
