New York: Mourning Victims in Jerusalem and Baghdad (Demonstration in NY today)
Arutz Sheva ^ | Aug 21, '03

Posted on 08/21/2003 5:22:15 AM PDT by veronica

A major demonstration will be held in New York this morning to mourn the victims of both of Tuesday's major Islamic terrorist attacks - the suicide bus bombing in Jerusalem and the truck bomb in Baghdad.

A major demonstration will be held in New York this morning to mourn the victims of both of Tuesday's major terrorist attacks - the suicide bus bombing in Jerusalem and the truck bomb in Baghdad - both carried out by Islamic terrorist organizations.

The event is called for 11:30 AM opposite the U.N. at the Isaiah Wall at 43rd Street and First Avenue. Organized by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, it will unite political, diplomatic and social leaders in mourning and protest. A group of children will light memorial candles to honor those who perished and to pray for those who were hurt.

A theme of the event will be the demand that Syria step down from its chairmanship of the UN Security Council, and that international support be mobilized for a war on terrorists and for action against countries that aid them. Abu Mazen will be singled out for failing to immediately declare war on terrorism and to dismantle the Palestinian terrorist infrastructure, arrest terrorists, confiscate weapons, close rocket factories.

Among the participants will by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York State Attorney-General Elliot Spitzer, Congressman Jerold Nadler, ex-US Ambassador to the UN Richard Holbrooke, Israel's Ambassador to the UN Dan Gillerman, Israel's Consul-General in New York Alon Pinkas, Malcolm Hoenlein of the Conference of Presidents, Rabbi Hershel Billet, and many others.

...ex-US Ambassador to the UN Richard Holbrooke...

What's the cynical Serb-hater Holbrooke doing in this group?

That evil gnome took the islamist side in the Balkans against the Christian Serbs EVERY SINGLE TIME. Not only has he never repented of his vile actions, but he contines to show his pride in them in his recent book. And his racist remarks about the Serbs go along with his actions!!

It is the clintonites' support for islamists in the Balkans (including Al Qaeda) that helped set the stage for 9/11, and for subsequent terrorist attacks!!!

Richard Holbrooke IS a terrorist!!!!

Last weekend outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC a bunch of terrorist symnpathisizing wackos unfurled a huge 5 foot high by 60' long black banner that said "STOP PALESTINIAN APARTHEID". ABOUT 8 wackos either holding up the banner or handing out stupid flyers. I wonder how they feel after their buddies just purposely targeted a bus full of kids.

There is no need for a wall. Israel needs 1000 bulldozers.

STOP PALESTINIAN APARTHEID holds a lot of sense. It's the palestinians who enforce apartheid, by not making peace in any meaningful way.
