Rally Report: Palestinian, Israeli Backers Stage L.A. Rallies over Gaza Fighting

July 8, 2006 - Hundreds of Israeli and Palestinian supporters held demonstrations tonight in Westwood in response to recent violence in the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian backers holding graphic signs showing Israeli soldiers involved in the conflict prayed outside the West L-A federal building.

Across the street, pro-Israel activists staged a counter-protest, waving American, English and Israeli flags and displaying al-Qaida signs and fake rockets.

Israel launched an offensive almost two weeks ago after Palestinian militants carried out a brazen cross-border attack on a military outpost, capturing a 19-year-old Israeli soldier.

Palestinian officials say Israeli troops have killed 32 Palestinians in two days of air strikes and artillery barrages.

She was also baffled that I was wearing my t-shirt that was printed in big letters "Infidel" in both English and Arabic.

Outstanding!!!

The Worst Defense (David Horowitz)

************* excerpt ***********************

  It is the worst possible defense because it violates the very foundation of our liberties, the social contract on which all our liberties depend.  

We live in a democracy. That means we live under rules for adjudicating our differences both in peacetime and in war. Before all the laws that make us who we are is the primary fact that we are nation of laws. Breaking the law does not protect the law. Breaking national security laws betrays the nation; it does not defend it.  

The government leakers who provided the Times with the information that won its reporter a Pulitzer prize, are conducting a war against the very system the Times is claiming to defend. This is an unacceptable way to dissent from national policy, and no excuse can be offered for it. It is an act of violence against our democracy and the Constitution which governs it.

I praise you folks getting out there and voicing your opinion......in Mpls. people are too scared to get out and make signs like yours, specific and defining Islamic peoples etc. Our Protest Warriors are great though, small as they are, no complaints, but even the Jewish community here doesn't get out and do anything in terms of "signing"....keep it up.

Thank you Veronica...that's probably the nicest thing anyone has said to me in a quite a while. It was an honor and a privilege (and quite fun too! Everybody on our side was happy and in high spirits) to join fellow patriots and freedom lovers in Westwood to support our Israeli friends.

our Israeli friends.

- am I right in thinking that we should, perhaps?, as you have, refer to the peoples of Israel as "Israelis" and not just "Jews"?

Are not the "Jews"? descended from the Tribe of Judah - but other tribal descendants, Israeli?

i.e., Judah, that is, the Jewish people of today, are only one of the tribes of Israel - and while all Jews are Israelites, not all Israelites are Jews.

So should we not use the term "Israelis"
