David Horowitz on the “Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Myths and Facts” (Brooklyn College)Video

On March 10, 2011, David Horowitz spoke at Brooklyn College . He was invited to speak in opposition to the annual Hate-a-Jew Week (aka Israel-Apartheid Week ) and due to the threats from the anarchists on-campus, we had to pass through security before we were permitted to enter the auditorium.

 

 

The title of his presentation was "The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict : Myths and Facts”. The video that follows is the complete 60 minute presentation by Horowitz followed by the Q and A.



This event was nearly aborted by a lack of support from the Jewish organizations and faculty at Brooklyn College but thanks to Yosef Sobol, a brave undergrad at Brooklyn College who invited Horowitz to speak and the only faculty member willing to sponsor him, Mitchell Langbert, all went off as planned.







Horowitz would present the other side of the story thereby giving the students an opportunity to think for themselves.



With their eyes wides shut, all that was heard from the local anarchists during the entire 90 minutes was their knee-jerk cries of racist as they muttered in the background.

 

The back rows were made up mopstly of those who came to challenge Horowitz, not to listen to him.



They had  hoped to shut down free-speech at Brooklyn College but with the extra security their planned insurgency fell-flat and possibly due to the monsoon rains, their turn-out was surprisingly small.

 

And Horowitz filled the auditorium with those who came to listen and learn' respectfully.



 

Other than a few rude outbursts, it all went fairly smoothly. The fellow in the blue -shirt seemed to be one of the leaders of the resistance...

 

Their assault on free-speech came-off with a whimper instead of a bang.



However, there was a predictable melt-down that brought the Q and A to an abrupt end but, in spite of than slight blip in the proceedings, David Horowitz,  Yosef Sobel (the student leader ) and Mitchell Langbert ( the faculty advisor ) succeeded in chipping away at the Palestinian Myths and Lies so worshiped by these Nazis as "Facts".



And based on their snippy reactions as they left, these dedicated anarchists remained  committed to their ignorant delusions. Think for themselves? Nope: Not interested.

But when they started posting on this event, these leftists, predictably lied and twisted the facts to fit their reality by releasing a propaganda hit piece on you tube. Filmed by the anarchist in the back row (green plaid) and posted by nn anti-Israel activist named Phillip Weiss.



 Weiss posted a drastically edited version of Horowitz's speech on YouTube without indicating that it had been altered, and posted it on the web with the title "David Horowitz Spreading Hatred@Brooklyn College." Weiss edited the original tape so that only Horowitz's conclusions are presented. The arguments that precede them have been cut. For example, Horowitz is shown referring to Palestinian terrorists as "Nazis" but his explanation for using this term is omitted. 



Conclusion: Every critique of crimes committed by Muslim jihadists is immediately converted into an attack on all Muslims, as a way of silencing any opposition to Muslim terror.

Here is a detailed rebuttal to their hit-piece revealing their omissions and alterations to the original speech:

Geller, Spencer & Sheepshead Bay Residents Say "No" to illegal Mosque

On March 13, 2011, Voorhies Ave and 28th St, Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn



There was a protest by the citizens of that community 





They were protesting the planned Mosque/Community Center to be built on Voorhies Ave. (in this empty lot behind the supporters of the mosque).




This is a RESIDENTIAL community and the Community outrage regarding this still unexplained decision to choose their street for this mosque is of great concern.






 

But the interlopers came out to yell racist (and much worse) at the local citizens. The supporters of the illegal mosque were joined by the discredited ex-principal of KGIA , Debbie Almontaser (she was enjoying the megaphone) But Almontaser took a "break" when she saw her picture being taken by moi (at a public rally with plenty of press-coverage).



 Guess she relaxed later when the press was her own (Robert Spencer is being blocked from taking pictures by two of the World Can't Wait Leftists).Yet their photographers were all over the other side
of the street.




Back to mosque-crowd . Also, joining Almontaser, in support of the mosque/community center, was Imam Shamsi Ali.



Shamsi Ali is the Imam of the "Mega-Mega" Mosque on the upper east side, that just happened to have been  built by the father( no less) of Imam Rauf. Imam Rauf is that Sharia-promoting and currently former-head of the Bloomberg-supported Ground Zero Mosque aka Park51.

 

And no hard-core sponsored rally would be complete without the familiar hard-core Lefties. Ted "the Troll" (grey-bushy hair) was there. Ted is a retired teacher (oy) but he seems to have found a new calling (perhaps PAID) since no matter what , if there's a Hard-core Leftist protest, Ted is there.






AND Screetch Marini (a chum of Elaine Brower's) hiding behind his sign blocking pictures of his crowd. Free Speech for the Lefties Only.

 

But, where or WHERE was the profane Elaine Brower (of  the VILE World Can't Wait). See scary picture below that I found of her with her Marxist CHUM, Charles Barron.

 No matter. There were others to carry the torch of Elaine.  Watch the video at  of this 'sweet' child  from approx 7:16 to 7:52 . And be sure to READ his lips for an example of the disrespectful profanity that came from the mouths of babes. Taught by example?





And WHERE were the politicians (like the truant "I-wanta-be-the-next-mayor" Anthony Weiner) The pols are very silent. Elections are over. So they are no refusing to give the community even a simple  guarantee that there will be no more illegal building of this mosque/community center. 

 

So we ask again, Why HERE in this quiet residential neighborhood? The demographics don't support changing the make-up of this community. And as Pamela Geller said, in her passionate speech (in video starting at 1:42) "If that mosque is built, in 5 years no one will recognize this community."



Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer were there in support of the residents and as always they spoke the truth. No lies. No hatred. No racism. (their speeches are from 1:42 to 6:20) they spoke confidently while hatred was spewed at them and the community from the mosque supporters across the street.





See VIDEO for Geller and Spencers rousing speeches:



Take Note: This is not a community built on hatred or racism. A diverse community of immigrants.

 




The Bay People simply do not see why a mosque/community center should be built on Voorhies Avenue. They continue to ask: Why here? Why in this neighborhood?  They are met with silence or insults but the questions remain unanswered, Why has M.A.S. chosen their neighborhood?

The People of Sheepshead Bay need help.  They are fighting City Hall. 

They are fighting ignorance.



God help them. Their future is our future. We must Fight Back. Fight Back. Fight Back

Imam Rauf & " I am a muslim too" Rally Times Square

 Times Square. March 6, 2011

The big day arrived...and so did the RAIN.



 

From the Cordoba Initiative- ''In response to Congressional hearings dubbed “The radicalization of Muslim communities in America” led by Congressman Peter King (R-LI), members of diverse faith communities throughout New York City will join in unity to support American Muslims.Stand with us on March 6th to show Congress that we are all together, that we share friendship and trust and cannot be divided.''







And their associates at Change the Story -  ''These hearings promise to play into, as well as further, the negative discourse on Islam in America, and completely counteract the positive work done to further interfaith understanding and acceptance.''



Over 75 interfaith coalitions and civil liberties groups are joining together on Sunday, March 6, to take a stance against bigotry, ignorance, and prejudice across the country, particularly against Muslims. (and seems there were even some  Atheists...at this INTERFAITH coalition)



Def Jam's Russell Simmons was headlining the rally,



Russell Simmons,  Chairman of RUSH Communications said, "However, we're concerned the hearings will send the wrong message and alienate American Muslims instead of partnering with them, potentially putting their lives at risk by inciting fear and enmity." Simmons also wrongly claimed the the King Hearings were not having any muslims testify (in this video he released)
Guess he never heard of Congressman Keith Ellison...muslim...

Imam Rauf of the Cordoba  Initiative was front and center....with the press all over him





 And the unfortunate  Rabbi Marc Schneier, President of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (FFEU), who suggested that the hearings should be "broadened in such a way that other ethnic communities and faith communities can attest to the tremendous contribution and solidarity that American Muslims have for our country."

 

Basically....they were basically 'preaching to the choir'...Which seemed to include many young families



>



We also noted many familiar representatives of the Far Left/marxist/socialist (like bill doar and donna nevel) whose groups unswervingly support  the annihilation of israel, open borders and the end of our military.

 

And this gem of a banner ( must be a cause near and dear to some Lefties heart)



And the infamous interpretor of the nyc intifada tshirt , debbie almontaser.

 


 And , Imam Rauf's wife , Daisy (the con) Khan (on the left)



All doing their best Woodstock imitation at the end of the rally (as the floodgates  opened up and ended the peace and love rally 45 minutes early)


so....they are all muslims now.

 

do they know once a muslim...you can't leave? methinks a bunch of leftist tools...got snookered.



Captured a bit of some muslim prayers and i guess it was a song. is he saying...unity...unity...like in the umma.... and all those new converts they snookered today in to saying the shahada....




geeze....with friends like these, who needs enemies.

Some final thoughts:
We here at VSB support the planned hearings in Washington , DC  but are saddened to see Congressman King buckle under to the CAIR /Muslim Brotherhood machine that always plays the racist/victim card. Peter King had an opportunity to include men and women who are respected and would have been fair-minded in their presentations.  It seems now that the hearings have  become a weak-sister of what it could have been. Sad indeed to see a fine man blink under fire:
