Dozens of activists protested on Tuesday evening against an alternative Memorial Day ceremony held by the leftist organization Combatants for Peace at the Tel Aviv port area.
The group’s alternative ceremony includes Israeli bereaved parents and Palestinian Authority Arab bereaved parents (parents of terrorists who were killed while fighting IDF soldiers) under the same category of remembrance and loss.

The protests in support of the Palestinian War are not a peace movement and neither were the commie sympathizers who marched in open support of the North Vietnamese military in the 1960s.
OH please. It's neither Baptist or a church. It only has a tax free status.
War is Peace. Ignorance is Strength.
Well, whatever they are, they’re the same as these moral retards.
