Palestine Day of Resistance in Bay Ridge 8/7
Remember the Palestinian Day of Rage on July 1st? Their event started good until a man in the group was given the microphone and he said, “Death to Israel. Death to America.” Then the crowd repeated that statement. (See video)
Not one person at the event spoke out against it. We understand the Palestinian’s beef with Israel, but that’s not a reason to wish death to America.
This Day of Resistance on 72nd Street and 5th Avenue on Friday at 4:00 pm. What organization is running this and are they screening speakers? This is their website and Instagram.
It took Councilman Brannan seven days to issue a statement in a private Facebook group. See here
Brannan told Ridgites he sent the statement to the newspaper, but no paper carried that story.
Isn’t that strange that Justin Brannan rushes stories to the papers and they print it the same day, but THAT story they didn’t!
Some of the signs have nice art, but is there a person with a slingshot or four men walking with soldier gear? (See below)
More posters on their website
Senator Gounardes didn’t find anything wrong with the statement as he never issued a statement about that hate. Calling Death to America is hateful, right?
