“Repression Breeds Resistance” LONG LIVE THE INTIFADA

 

Nerdeen Kiswani and Within Our Lifetime
Flooding NYC for GAZA


"We call on all those who stand with Palestine to take
to the streets
to collectively demand an end
to U.S. sponsored genocide in Gaza.

“Repression Breeds Resistance”
LONG LIVE THE INTIFADA

Sept 2, 2024. Labor Day in the U.S.

Within Our Lifetime posted on Twitter-X that their Labor Day action was to raise awareness about work place discrimination in the tech and health care industries against employees who support the "palestinian" people. [Nurse fired in NYC for wearing pali flag]

Open in New Tab to enlarge next poster for a
closer
look at who endorsed this action

Extinction Rebellion NYC was one of the surprise participants that joined the coalition

Led by Nerdeen Kiswani of Within Our Lifetime  ..... to oppose genocide in Palestine ...
she repeats endlessly that the palis are the VICTIMS of ZIONISTS.

 .There were also Communist orgs
(at least two that I saw) recruiting.

."The RCA (Revolutionary Communists of America) is a party of class-fighters committed to the overthrow of capitalism. We fight for a world of superabundance and reject the artificial scarcity of a system based on the pursuit of profits. We fight to establish a workers’ government to tackle the roots of war, inequality, oppression, and climate catastrophe."

And the other soc/commie group:
The World Party of Socialist Revolution founded by Leon Trotsky.

As we remember today's meme  (some light reading)
"Repression Breeds Resistance"
LONG LIVE THE INTIFADA!

W.O.L. published a series of posters detailing accusations of criminal actions by the NYPD (a tool of Israel) against the the Palestinian Liberation Movement. (approx 10 seconds a slide/ pause video to read more info)

 

.“Israel is comparable to ISIS, just like how they (ISIS) hijacked Islam. And so we know Israel is a terrorist state. Israel’s a genocidal state. Israel is a colonial project and Palestinians will only get justice when Israel ceases to exist” WOL founder Nerdeen Kiswani said to the crowd on Labor Day. (always long winded, this vid is approx 17 minutes of agitprop)

 

 Note to @WOLPalestine's @Nerdeen Kiswani & her lackeys: If Israel ceased to exist, Hamas would rule & there would be no justice for Palestinians.

Flickr Slide Show Part 1, begins with posters that were put up and then quickly torn down by the palis

Flood NYC For Gaza Part 1

."The protesters carried Palestinian, Syrian, Iranian, and Hezbollah flags, one man waved a banner emblazoned with the images of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and PFLP general secretary Ahmad Sa’adat. The logo on the banner belonged to the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, a PFLP-tied NGO."

Flickr Slide Show Part 2 exposing more of the dangerously pathetic misdirection of so many tools....

Flood NYC For Gaza Part 2

.There is no shortage of radical propaganda
aimed at these gullible followers.

“Zionism is the Catastrophe”
Seven months and seventy-six years of Nakba

Wondering why: "Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, shut down the Instagram account of WOL in early February.  In early July, Meta also shut down the Instagram account of the Samidoun Palestinian Political Prisoner Network, and in the last week shut down the accounts for Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine, and NYU’s People’s Solidarity Coalition."  ("VICTIMIZED" this time by META? )

From NY War Crimes Newszine
[https://newyorkwarcrimes.com/zionism-is-the-catastrophe]

"People are still either failing or refusing to grasp that this genocide is equally the product of US imperialism and Israeli democracy."

This is how you mis-direct the 20 somethings and more... including the PRESS...   with rinse / repeat- over and over: as they complain and DICTATE that the only genocide is against GAZA.

'' Those in power have doubled-down, sending more money and more weapons to the Zionist entity. The seemingly intractable appears at once daunting and hallucinatory, personally painful too, for those in our movement whose families and friends have spent their long October transmitting fear and rage from America’s extermination camps. If there is any solace to be found it is in those dreams and words and rockets that have remodeled the land — 76 years of assembly and disassembly, 76 years too long, but also proof that with Gaza as the heart, there will be courage and with Gaza as the eyes, the aim will be true.''

Gays Against Guns Go Ballistic! in Union Sq

 

Thursday, June 23, 2022 (5:30 pm) Union Square.
SCOTUS to NY: "Get Shot Dead!" Rally against
Roberts Supreme Court's NYSRPA v. Bruen Decision.

 

"This is bullish!t. These are dark days.
Tomorrow will likely bring more horrific decisions
by the not-so-supreme supreme court."

"The blood of the people who will be murdered as a result of this decision will be on the hands of these six justices. It’s hard to have hope for our country on days like today." " [Gays Against Guns in Union Square Park.]

 Gays Against Guns Union Sq

"Gays Against Guns and Gun Violence Prevention advocates joined NY elected officials to stand against the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, eviscerating safer gun licensing laws in New York, 6 other states, and D.C. which together comprise 75% of the population of this country." (Gays Against Guns)

Video 1- Jay W. Walker,"Gays Against Guns ", lead the presser,  SCOTUS to NY "Get Shot Dead!" Rally Against Supreme Court's Decision.


Video 2- Jay W. Walker introduced New York State Assemblywoman,
Linda B. Rosenthal,
who joined Gays Against Guns Rally Against Supreme Court's Decision.


" We have no voice. The “supreme” court decision has left us much more unsafe and many, many people will die as a result of it. We want fewer dead people and we understand that more guns = more gun deaths. It’s so simple, even a conservative justice should be able to figure it out. But I guess those law schools aren’t what they used to be." (Linda B.Rosenthal)

"I joined @bradybuzz, @gaysXgunsNY @MomsDemand @AMarch4OurLives in outrage at #SCOTUS #Bruen decision.The gun lobby owns our justices whose ruling sanctions chaos and endangers every one of us. I'm ready to go to Albany to protect New Yorkers from this barbaric ruling." (@lindabrosenthal_67)

Video 3- Jay W. Walker introduced Felix Tager "March For Our Lives"at the Rally Against Supreme Court's Decision.


"Gays Against Guns NY is an inclusive, direct action group of LGBTQ+ people and their allies committed to nonviolently breaking the gun industry's chain of death—investors, manufacturers, the NRA and politicians who block safer gun laws. " [https://www.facebook.com/GaysAgainstGunsNYC]

MARCH FOR OUR LIVES NY - "Our policy agenda is rooted in our community’s calls for safety, grounded in the perspectives of gun violence survivors and their families, and bolstered by robust policy analysis and conversation. It interweaves the underlying forces we believe fuel gun violence -- gun glorification, political apathy, poverty, armed supremacy and our country’s mental health crisis -- and points to specific policy priorities for our movement."

. "...  Gov. Hochul, a Democrat who recently signed several new gun control laws in response to a mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead, said she expects the Dem-led state Legislature to return to Albany within the next month to address the issue.

“I will say we are not powerless in this situation,” the governor said. “We’re not going to cede our rights that easily. Despite the best efforts of the politicized Supreme Court of the United States of America, we have the power of the pen.” [ NY Daily News]

[https://gothamist.com/news/new-yorkers-vent-their-frustrations-over-supreme-courts-gun-ruling-at-union-square-rally]

At the protest on Thursday, advocates from various gun violence prevention groups denounced the Supreme Court decision, and expressed frustration at the it’s dismissal of a law they say most New Yorkers want.

“It’s a really horrific mix of emotions. Even though we knew this was going to happen, we’re still dumbfounded by it.” Jay Walker from the gun violence prevention advocacy group Gays Against Guns told Gothamist. “As much as I do want, um, our state government to do whatever they can, fortunately we have a Democratic super-majority in New York State, without very, very strong federal legislation it’s going to be undermined by the fact that people can travel from state to state.”

(Jay W. Walker - is also a founding member of Rise and Resist, a direct action group committed to opposing, disrupting, and defeating any government act that threatens democracy, equality, and our civil liberties.



"... fortunately we have a Democratic super-majority in New York State"


  A not so fortunate situation since the the Democrat Socialists have taken over the Democrat Party.

The Progressives goal - disarming the citizens -  Not Good.
