Hundreds Protest Conflict In The Middle East

Last Updated: 08-12-06 at 6:16 PM

Thousands of people across the country took part in marches to protest what is happening in the Middle East.

One of those protests happened in San Diego in the middle of Balboa Park Saturday.

Carrying signs, one reading "long live Hezbollah," San Diegans demanded someone listen.

"We're here because we're outraged about the genocide taking place against Palestinians and the Lebanese people," one protester said.

Police estimated about 300 people marched across the Laurel Street bridge protesting what they call the ongoing Israeli war against the people of Lebanon funded by the United States.

"We want the U.S. out," said Yousef Abudayyeh of the Arab Americans Association of San Diego. "Want to stop aid to Israel, it's a shame this money is used to kill people."

"I cannot support the bombings but I understand their frustration with our western government," said D'Ann Paton, who was protesting Israel's actions. "And if this group's Goliath, these counter protestors represent David."

"The U.S. needs to support Israel, not just Israel's fight," said Eric Bogomolny, who supports U.S. and Israel. "It's also our fight."

This first set of photos are of the pro-terrorist sychophants who were out cheering for Hezbollah and waving Palestinian, Lebanese and Hezbollah flags.

Note the first picture that shows the their freak show parade...the San Diego police officers do not look too thrilled at having to escort this motley bunch of Islamists, socialists, and other assorted unAmericans and anti-Semites. In fact, there was even one protester who carried as sign reading "FREE MUMIA" (the convicted cop-killer who murdered Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner and who now sits on death row.) The police definitely had to hold their noses at this one! As the news reports stated, there were probably 250-300 of these hateful protesters at Balboa Park. Balboa Park is also home to the world famous San Diego Zoo. From the looks of these parade marchers, I think that some of the wild beasts have escaped from captivity!

Tomorrow they will be protesting the tides and phases of the moon.

The following are some pics of local FReepers, Protest Warriors, Republicans and other patriots who came out to counter these leftist goons. Although there was only a baker's dozen or so of us, our collective IQs easily surpassed the collective IQs of the hundreds of Islamofascist apologists, hate America first types and anti-Semites. Also, notice some of the pics that show the media interviewing our small but determined group of patriots. You can also see some of the Protest Warrior signs and other banners and placards that we were using. We can proudly say that we took a stand in support of freedom and Western Civilization at San Diego's Balboa Park on Saturday, Aug. 12. Bravo Zulu to Eric for pulling this counter-rally together on such a short notice!

Anyone listening to someone carrying a "Long Live Hezbollah" sign should be subject to Hezbollah's tactics themselves. Send a Kaytusha rocket to their crib and see if they still chant "Long Live Hezbollah".
