    Here's the website for the so-called A15 Action:

    Coordinated Economic Blockade to Free Palestine
    Monday, April 15, 2024
    The global economy is complicit in genocide. Join participating cities in blocking the arteries of capitalism and jamming the wheels of production.
    https://www.a15action.com

    In other words, the Marxists organizing A15 are blaming capitalism, which tells you all you need to know about the people behind the "protests".

    What is with their "love affair for Palestinian Muslims"?

    They're allies. "Protest" groups such as the ANSWER Coalition, who are likely the organizers of A15, have included Islamist and Palestinian groups in their ranks for decades. It's an alliance of convenience bound by a common hatred of the United States and Israel.

    Christopher Hitchens wrote about ANSWER when it was doing the dirty work of Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar and Saddam Hussein here on the home front with its "anti-war" protests against the U.S., and Hitchens accurately described the group as "a front for (depending on the day of the week) fascism, Stalinism and jihadism" and "straight-out pro-war, but on the other side":

    Anti-War, My Foot
    The phony peaceniks who protested in Washington.
    BY CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS
    SEPT 26, 2005
    https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2005/09/the-phony-peaceniks-who-protested-in-washington.html

    I've referred to the fascist, communist and jihadist riff-raff in ANSWER and other groups as Radical Left astroturf because it likes to pretend that it represents mainstream America when it more closely resembles an anti-American fifth column operating in our midst. Unfortunately, the LW MSM has helped conceal the identity and nature of that extremist trash for years, instead of exposing them as Hitchens did in his article, and they've done the public a great disservice by failing to do their jobs.

    No you didn't, but you probably saw them blaming Israel for Hamas' massacre on October 7th.

    Like Hitchens said, they're full-on pro-war, but on the other side...

    What should be done is to find out who is paying these protesters. If it’s George Soros, which some people, expect, I hope we can find a way to prosecute him.

    This comes down to a matter of public safety. What if an ambulance or a fire truck needed to get through? A person could die on the way to the hospital because of these egotistical clowns. In Tampa, the whole push of them was arrested or dispersed in 15 minutes.

    And here’s bottom line. If you hung someone up for 5 hours on the Golden Gate Bridge, how many minds do you think you changed?

    Does this mean that you are breaking with your “Mello Guy?” If Biden goes full woke in the Middle East and sides with the terrorists, you can kiss this election goodbye, even against Trump.

    Your heroes, whom you defend, are still holding over 100 hostages. Do you care about them? The betting now is that your heroes have sold most of the hostages to other terror groups, if the hostages are still alive.

    Your priorities are all screwed up. You look at evil and give it political support. You know that people are canting death to your country, yet you fail to condemn it. Not even “The Mellow Guy” can support you there.

    I haven’t defended anyone. Maybe you responded to the wrong person.

    The Democrat party is filled with anti-semites. The Leftists are showing their true colors.

    Yes, until one head case or a group of head cases listens to "Death to America" and acts on it. If the Republicans held the White House, they would be acting on it right now, but since Biden is there, they don't want to hurt his reelection chances. The smart radicals know that they have the best chance to succeed with Biden in charge.

    They do have a long history of supporting terrorist organizations.

    They've been flying their anti-semitic colors for a long time, but many people were either unaware of it or refused to acknowledge it.

    This little bit of photojournalism is from 2006, and notice the yellow and black ANSWER Coalition signs - you'll find them at the vast majority of these rallies. If I'm right, yesterday's A15 Action was organized by ANSWER:

    • They voted Hamas into power
    • They teach their children to hate Jews from an early age.
    • It is a never ending struggle so far as they are concerned. They won’t be satisfied until their boundary goes “from the river to the sea,” i.e, the end of Israel.

    The terrorists are terrorists. Anyone that supports and defends them is just as bad.

    Hamas wasn’t being terrorists way back when they were elected…if that was even a legit election. I don’t know what they teach their kids, how do you?
    You can want the land and not support terrorism. Again, who knows what the general populace wants.

    LMAO...Yes they were. Hamas was founded in 1987. Their first terrorist operation was in 1989, during the First Intifada.

    So according to the left it's ok to shout death to America and Israel because both countries are frowned upon, or even hated, by that same left and they call it free speech. But if you use certain words about a certain group in front of certain people, then the hammer gets dropped on you. If only the left felt the same way about the people who chant death to entire countries. If you'll notice something about the article, it doesn't say what happened to the kid who wanted to start a fight over the legal definition of words.

    How many times has the left said that anyone who supports Trump is just as bad as he is? And Trump wasn't/isn't bad, just hated by the left.

    That's right. They want Trump supporters in prison as bad as they want Trump in prison.

    I don't know how old you are but I'm assuming you are older than 17. I remember all the news organizations talking about what Israel was going to be like with the Palestinians voting a terrorist organization into power. I know what they teach their kids because their kids were bragging about how many Israelis they killed on 10/7.

    Never heard of the 1994 Dizengoff bombing? A Hamas terrorist detonated himself inside a bus on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv, killing 20 innocent people. That was just the beginning.

    Hamas has always been a terrorist organization, funded and armed by Iran.

    This is just a sample of what the Palestinian kids are taught:


    "We will annihilate the Jews". The then Mickey Hamaus kids are today's terrorists.

    If your knee-jerk reaction at the above was "but that was then, what now?", well, here's the now:
    https://palwatch.org/

    Scroll down to the video featuring footage from the official Palestinian TV. "Our weapon is our Islam, and our ammunition is our children". Chilling, atrocious child abuse. Chilling, atrocious lack of interest on the part of international bodies self-appointed as guardians of human rights and children's rights.

    Here's more "now":
    The European Parliament on Wednesday passed a resolution calling on the European Commission to suspend aid to the Palestinian Authority’s educational system until antisemitic and violent themes are removed from textbooks issued to K-12 students.
    ...
    The resolution marked the fourth year in the row that the EU has demanded immediate changes to Palestinian curriculum, which experts and lawmakers have described as the most antisemitic in the region and a factor protracting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.​

    https://www.algemeiner.com/2023/05/...ian-education-aid-over-antisemitic-textbooks/

    But, but, Netanyahu...

    Pfftt.

    Disclaimer: the last two lines are not directed at you, just in the general direction of the collective left. Yes, I know not all of them think the same, but still, I had to.

    if they support Hamas, I agree with you, we should all be against Hamas, but the innocent Gaza citizens, Israel needs to be careful, they don't want to become what Germany once was

    And now the people who elected them are paying the price for the war they started................you do agree? And that the burden is on them to surrender and turn over all the remaining HAMAS war criminals and cooperate in the occupation until a non-violent non-aggressive peaceful government can be formed......you do agree?
