Video: Joyous Pro-Israel Rally Overwhelms Protesters in NYC
Breitbart ^ | 3/8/14 | Danielle Avel

Posted on 08/04/2014 7:24:31 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

beautiful pro-Israel rally spontaneously erupted in New York City on July 25, filling the street with chants celebrating the Jewish State. This outburst responded to an ugly crowd of anti-Israel zealots targeting Jewish-owned businesses in what they called a “direct action.”

The anti-Israel protesters marched through the streets, stopping traffic while screaming “Free, free Palestine! Free, free Gaza!” These seemingly innocuous slogans were mixed with darker ones such as:

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” i.e., from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, ‘Palestine’ will replace Israel. “Intifada, intifada!” which is a call for violence against Israelis to replace Israel with "Palestine."

Eventually the anti-Israel hooligans reached the normally quiet Diamond District on 47th Street between 5th and 6th avenues. The district came into existence in the 1920s and grew dramatically in the 1940s as Orthodox Jews in the diamond business fled the Nazis. The demonstrators chose this street in particular, of course, to disrupt Jewish-owned businesses:

The “Free Palestine” pack made its way through scaffolding and construction zones, periodically stopping to do a “mic check,” but also with the effect of bringing their voices into unison again. During one “mic check,” jewelry store owners began emerging from their shops to see the commotion, causing a frenzy among the demonstrators. One of them, a woman, broke the chants and maniacally shouted “intifada, intifada!” And then something striking happened.

Amidst the raucous shouts of “Free, free Palestine!” a different call emerged. A pro-Israel crowd appeared, clapping and chanting “Is-ra-el, Is-ra-el!” Some business owners closed their stores to join, supporters flooded the sidewalk, and the street filled with chants celebrating Israel. ....

That’s what’s my problem. I don’t have a TV, so I miss all the official, important news, and instead see what’s really happening.

Could this action be caused by the Holy Spirit?

We support Israel because all other nations were created by an act of men, but Israel was created by an act of God! The Royal Land Grant that was given to Abraham and his seed through Isaac and Jacob with an everlasting and unconditional covenant. (Genesis 12:1-3, 13:14-18, 15:1-21, 17:4-8, 22:15-18, 26:1-5 and Psalm 89:28-37.)

Gave me chills. I love it. The Left, whose philosophy was hatched in Hell, shouldn’t be heard anymore. We’ve heard enough have we not?

Radical Muslims are the haters and evil ones... no one’s going to ‘wade in’ with axe handles. Our side wades in with righteousness.

Want to see hatred?

Neither embeded video in link to article nor the youtube version will work.

“An error occurred, please try again later.”

Anyone got an idea as to why, or a fix? virus? hacked?

Now getting NIS warnings on redirect, phishing, and virus/malware.

What’s up with that?
