The protesters were energized by Hadid’s presence on 5th Avenue and that participated in the protest with them.
Bella Hadid is using her platform to speak about Palestine but SOME Malaysian celebrities and influencers aren’t and masih sibuk ootd raya, if this doesn’t say it all I don’t knkw what does.

May 16, 2021Curtis Sliwa and Brian Fox Went to St. Athanasius
I saw that Curtis Sliwa and Brian Fox went to St. Athanasius to check-in with Monsignor Cassato. The story behind this picture is interesting. (See the video here)
A flag was burned outside of St. A’s and a wooden cross was knocked over outside the school on Friday. Sliwa and Fox took the time out of their weekend to show support to a religious leader. I like the new flag they brought the pastor.
Where’s Eric Adams, the current Brooklyn Borough President? No where to be found as usual.

May 15, 2021Nabka in Bay Ridge – Free Palestine Protest

Thousands of people – Palestinians and non-Palestinians gathered on 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge.

Everyone is tired of the senseless deaths of Palestinians – especially of Palestinian children through the bombings. And leaders are siding with Israel instead of yelling ENOUGH!

The protesters started out on 5th Avenue, but then walked down to 3rd Avenue to share the message with the community. There was easily over a thousand people there – see video.

There was no counter-protest. Some people thought this was a sign that Israel was winning, but it’s Saturday and that’s the Sabbath day for counter-protesters.

The local news asked people at the protest where they were from – many were from NJ. They had come to show their support.

The 6th Avenue exit on the Gowanas Expressway had to be closed because some protesters and those on bicycles were there. Most of the protesters were not.

A lot of people support the Palestinians, but when protesters blocked traffic, families in the area were inconvenienced as they came home from events. Closing the highway didn’t bring the event any more coverage because only the Citizen app showed it (news stations didn’t). It’s a selfish thing to do.

May 15, 2021Some Palestinians Don’t Know How to Protest
Thousands of Palestinians protested in Brooklyn. Some went on the highway and thought it was a good idea to get your attention by stopping and inconveniencing you.
#BadIdea
If you want people to sympathize with Palestine, post the pictures of the deceased children – don’t block our highways.
C’mon if you are Brooklynites, you know life hasn’t been easy and having a family in the car stalled in traffic is not fun. The news didn’t show those on the highway – only Youtube does.
When you protest – do it right – get everyone on your side and sympathizing with your cause.

May 15, 2021Large Protest in Bay Ridge – 5th Avenue and 71st Street at 4:30 pm – Nakba
I haven’t seen any politicians mention Nakba 73 happening in our area today, but they should have!
There’s always been a clash between Israel and Palestine as they fight over the land, but this year things intensified.
This is what is happening while the people pray:
Israel’s military killed Palestinians by air strikes during Ramadan.
Israel’s military has been removing Palestinians from their homes like this:
The media hasn’t been showing the truth, so the people are putting it out on social media. But now social media platforms are censoring them as pictures and videos are disappearing.
Because Israel is American’s ally, the Biden administration is not stepping in to help Palestine. This is a modern day genocide. The history books will show that in 30 years from now.
Don’t watch this one – it’s awful:
There will be protests in different parts of the world today. Bay Ridge is marked as one of the places for the largest protests. (See here)
While I have no doubt this will be peaceful, 69th Street to 75th Street and 5th Avenue will be busy today.
London had 150,000 people at their Nabka demonstration this year. It was considerably smaller in 2020. (See here)
