“Death to America!” We are used to that chant. Maybe too used to it.
If you are old enough, you heard it in 1979 during the Iranian hostage crisis when supporters of Ayatollah Khomeini invaded the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
Since then, it has been a recurring theme of Islamic fundamentalism, along with “Death to Israel.” Khomeini even went so far as to declare the United States “The Great Satan” in order to goad Muslims into a religious fervor aimed at destroying America.
Since then, we have heard “Death to America” shouted thousands of times around the globe. When the World Trade Center was destroyed in a terror attack in 2001 and thousands of innocent lives were taken there and at the Pentagon and on an empty field in Shanksville, Pa., the jarring chant was heard from the West Bank, from Gaza, from Somalia, and across the Muslim world.
But now it is closer to home. In fact, the chant of “Death to America” is being heard on American soil, and it is being written off by some naive commentators as First Amendment-protected speech. No big deal. We were told by a Supreme Court justice once that the Constitution is not a suicide pact, but if so, then how can we tolerate the anti-American rhetoric of thousands of newcomers as “free speech” when their goal is plainly the destruction of America?
To be specific, “Death to America” was heard earlier this month at a Dearborn, Mich., rally held on al-Quds Day, an anti-Israel holiday invented by Khomeini years ago. At the pro-Palestinian rally, speaker Tarek Bazzi attacked Joe Biden for his support of Israel in the Gaza War but added, “It’s not Genocide Joe that has to go, it is the entire system that has to go.

thanks for the virtue signal
By articulating “Death to America”, Americans placed the gun against their heads ready to pull the trigger.
Perfect timing to interfere with elections, just as planned.
“Its like the majority of americans just can’t be bothered, by damn near anything....... cause of our Netflix, our phones, and major league sports and stuff............”
We like to think that the majority runs the world, but that’s totally wrong. The majority is usually asleep or watching the boob tube.
The world is run by a small minority of ACTIVISTS. Most of us instead are PASSIVISTS. We’re the sheep, they’re the big dogs herding us.
Just take a look how often you see the word “activists” in the news.
They are the loud squeaky wheels who get the grease!
“Death to America” = free speech and okay.
Asking why these illegal aliens are flooding our nation = racist, offensive and not allowed.
If these scum bags take this to crap to a Red “Small Town” they will get their butts kicked.

Back-stabbing, enabling “opposition” party that far too many on FR will *STILL* vote into office this coming election

“ Security guards will be needed for synagogues and Jewish Community Centers.”
I know of at least one in Chicago that’s had it for years. They have to have their mail screened for explosives and chemicals every single day.
