“Demonstrators chanted ‘700,’ apparently referring to the confirmed number of Israeli fatalities”
This is about good and evil. But that’s what it was always about. It’s just clearer now.
After the torture, rape and murder of Israeli civilians, the desecration of corpses, and taking women and children hostage, Islamists and leftists proudly stand with Hamas.
Cornel West called “for an end to the vicious U.S.-supported Israeli occupation” while claiming that the rape and murder of Israeli women was the “violent resistance to oppression is the desperate language of an occupied people.”
Jill Stein, the former Green Party candidate who is helping Cornel West’s presidential campaign, tweeted, “when a murderous occupation makes peaceful resistance impossible, it makes violent resistance inevitable.”
“The US-backed Israeli apartheid regime inflicts daily settler violence and terror on Palestinians. Israel is an occupying force. Palestinians have every right to resist it,” Code Pink tweeted.
The Democratic Society of America (DSA), the leftist insurgent group within the Democratic Party linked to the ‘Squad’, clearly picked its side.
The Democratic Socialists of America, which boasts six U.S. House of Representatives as members, announced a pro-“Palestine” rally in New York City’s Times Square on Sunday, a day after Hamas launched a surprise attack that killed 600 Israelis.
“In solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to resist 75 years of occupation and apartheid,” the New York City chapter of Democratic Socialists of America announced
The various anti-Israel rallies were explicit in support of Hamas.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators on Sunday in New York celebrated Hamas’s massive deadly terror attack against Israel, as supporters of the Jewish state held rallies to mourn and express outrage over the slaughter.
Several hundred pro-Palestinian demonstrators rallied in Times Square, waving Palestinian flags and chanting “Resistance is justified,” “Globalize the intifada,” and “Smash the settler Zionist state.”
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” they chanted.
Among the pro-Palestinian side, the mood was celebratory and spiteful. Demonstrators chanted “700,” apparently referring to the confirmed number of Israeli fatalities in the attack so far, and held up the number seven on their hands while making throat-slitting gestures. Others flashed victory signs with their hands while shouting insults.
One man held up a picture of an Israeli hostage on his phone and waved it at the Israeli crowd. Another was seen brandishing an image of a swastika.
“The oppressed people of Palestine broke out of the open-air prison,” one speaker told the crowd, to cheers.
The press releases from the Muslim Brotherhood in America were equally predictable.
The U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), which includes CAIR, and claims to be the largest Muslim group in America, condemned Israel while making no mention of Hamas and its atrocities.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a leading Muslim civil rights group, expressed its “support for the Palestinian people’s right to freedom.”
The national chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, the leading pro-Palestinian college group, said, “Callous oppressors only know the language of destruction.”
“Palestine will not be liberated overnight. Liberation is a long-term process,” the group said on Instagram, falsely referring to Sderot and Netivot, targeted Israeli cities near the border with Gaza, as settlements. “We stand in solidarity with those who are oppressed, colonized and fighting for liberation.”
Students for Justice in Palestine chapters across the US, including at American University, Rutgers, UC San Diego, the University of Minnesota and San Jose State University, all celebrated “the resistance.”
In New York, the pro-Palestinian groups Within Our Lifetime, Samidoun, Decolonize This Place, Al-Awda and others announced rallies on Sunday in Times Square and on Monday at the Israeli consulate “to defend the heroic Palestinian resistance.”
31 organizations at Harvard joined in including the Harvard Islamic Society and other Islamic and allied leftist identity politics groups.
None of this is surprising. The question is how long until it hits home in the United States. This is not just something happening in Israel. It’s part of Islam’s war against the West. The enemy is here. And so are their collaborators.

One thing about this disaster of a presidency is that despite it ruling about as close to a communist dictatorship, you still have dissatisfied communists turn to the Green Party, since they can see how toxic the Dems are. I do hope that as many in the woke crowd, as well as “Democratic Socialists”, Code Pink, ANSWER, BLM, Antifa, et al flock to Cornel West. While sane Liberals who won’t support Trump, much less the GOP, go w/ RFK Jr
There’s nothing I relish more than a 3-way split on the Left come next November

You speak in ignorance, Although it is very bad it is nowhere near a communist dictatorship.That is one party rule and complete control, no opposition.
Charles Stephan says
Ametican Communists are very tepid compared to the real thing, as they’ve never had death squads. We had a socialist president; 4 term president Franklin Roosevelt who massively overeached federal powers to enact his unconstitutional New Deal policies. Plus he threw 150,000 Americans into internment camps which leftists like to dismiss as trivial
Westman says
Demonstrators: “Globalize the intifada”
Try that in armed America and see what happens. Try it in the Black community, try it in the Hispanic community, try it in the Asian community, try it in the White conservative community, try it in the White liberal community(they’ll have a learning curve delay, but they will finally respond).
Tharmon says
Lefties don’t believe that their throats are next.
FYI says
hamas massacred women and children.There is NO justification for that.To attack and murder completely innocent unarmed people enjoying themselves at a music festival is indefenisible.Parading bodies of killed Israeli women are images that will surely never be forgotten.Taking civilians hostages is cowardice.And of course the muslim terrorists will hide in kindergartens and put their weapons in mosques to escape the just retribution.
The lefties will find it hard with their ‘free palestine’ campaign to persuade anybody that the palestinians deserve that.Too late!
No doubt the lefties will be out with their ‘stop the hate’ placards but this was as act of great evil that could only come from the islamic world with its doctrine of hate towards non-muslims[al walaa wal baraa}
They have mass murdered innocent civilians with no mercy.
You cannot be OK with that even if you are a leftie.
Steve Brown says
The left will always ally themselves with evil, it’s in their nature. It is truly sickening to see them revelling in the foulest slaughter of innocents…
Charles Stephan says
Jill Stein is Jewish yet supports the people slaughtering Jews, who would kill her if they could because she’s a Jew.
I don’t understand this..
marc says
“Jill Stein, the former Green Party candidate”
She puts that Green Party identity first, of course this sounds like a chicken advocating for KFC, there are many such examples.
