CodePink & Co.'s tragi-comic disaster trip to Gaza sent ripples all the way to Boston's First Night Celebration. You recall that the group was stranded at the border until finally 100 "activists" were allowed in to Gaza itself (see, for instance, CODEPINK's "Gaza Freedom" Mockery). The moonbat blogs and email lists have been abuzz with the story of just what a disaster it was -- not only did the entire march manage to highlight the fact that there is a perfectly useful border that Gaza shares with Egypt, not Israel, and not only did they thus expose their agenda as less "freedom for Gaza" and more "smash the Jewish State," but the climax had various leftist activists literally at each other's throats, with screaming matches, shouted recriminations, and thousands of dollars flushed down the drain.
Here in Boston, the big plan was to "infiltrate" Boston's First Night parade, and they did so (see Indymedia: Photos/ Video-Boston Gaza Freedom March Support Action). As usual, the politicization of what's supposed to be a good time for all surely wound up pissing more people off than they "educated." Here's one description:
So we were in Boston this evening enjoying the New Year's parade. To our horror, at the rear of the parade was a large group, 50 - 75 people or so with large banners saying "Free Palestine", "U.S., Stop Working for the Jews, "Support Hamas", etc. The marchers were shouting "Allah Akbar", to the parade watchers. It was awful. I've looked online for news reports of it, but haven't seen anything yet. I don't know if they needed permission to march. Just thought people would want to know.
On the left, the sign as originally seen. On the right, the sign as it was edited. The first was apparently considered a bit too honest. Here's the description from the person who took the photos ['SteveB']:
Before the parade I did take some pictures of the one of the haters with a sign saying "America Stop fighting for the Jew", and was yelling Allah Akhbar. One of his friends changed it to "America Stop fighting for the Jewish state", the first hater then started yelling Allah Akhbar, Happy New Year and that the Palestinians deserve to be free. He was generally peeving the passers by since the sidewalks were crowded and he was being a nuisance.
Nothing like pissing everyone off and removing all doubt that you're an Jew-hating terrorist supporter to get them sympathetic with your cause...

And just what are you all doing to peace or justice or for the poor people suffering under an illegal and immoral siege? That right-NOTHING! Other than supporting injustice and racism and cowardly attacking the brave and heroic women of Code Pink for taking a stand and demanding justice! You all keep up your hate and support for racist and immoral israel while she commits crimes against hummanity daily. Your souls are primed for HELL. Enjoy the trip. :)
Wow, Andrew, you're funny. Good joke. But remember it's not April Fool's day yet. Happy New Year!
The "Viva Chavez y Ahmadinejad" sign was a sweet touch, too. Not.
Andrew,
Did you read the news of suicide bombers in Pakistan?
I wish YOU and your islamofascist fellow travelers
a year of continued failure, defeat and especially NAKBA.
If your "code pink", CP, like commie party?, shrews want to test their values, demonstrate their "bravery", have them march in saudi arabia, iranian regime without burqas/chadors, talibanistan.
P.S. "F" "F" Pal-e-SWINE.
Oh, as to the islamofascist SWINE holding his poster, he is exactly the kind of "enemy, foreign or domestic" that spawned the Ft. Hood islamofascist attack.
I hope the FBI is investigating his emails, associations. Did he know any of the 9/11 hijackers?
Eddie, bro, please drop me a line at Seva dot Brodsky at gmail dot com. You are relentless and I appreciate your persistence :-)
Wow, Andrew, a "good" one for sure. Well, let me address your deep questions and dazzling statements:
1. "And just what are you all doing to peace or justice"?
We support human rights all across the world - and yes, we root for our fellow Jews, too. Surprised? We go after real criminals (read the news). We help feed the hungry, protect the weak, and advance the causes of peace and justice all around the world. Surprised?
2. "And just what are you all doing ... for the poor people suffering under an illegal and immoral siege?"
Do you mean the siege laid to the poor Arabs in Gaza, which is laid upon them by the immoral (and in some of the more civilized places also considered illegal) Hamas? Well, let's see: we allow all sorts of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza - except that Hamas steals it for its own enrichment. We treat Gazans in Israeli hospitals - and it doesn't cost them anything, either. We plead with them to stop shelling and killing us. Only they don't want to listen. For it is too important to them to kill as many of us as they can. Ever hear of PTSD? Do you know that a majority of children in Sderot have had it for years, what with all the missiles - Katyushas, Grads, Kassams, mortars, etc.?
3. And if you, Andrew, support the elected gov't of Gaza (aka Hamas, one of the vilest terrorist orgs), then it is YOU, Andrew, who is supporting injustice and racism and xenophobia and intolerance and murder and torture, etc. Do you know what Hamas does to Christian Arabs? Do you know what they do to Fatah? Do you know what they do to the Jews?
4. If anyone is "cowardly attacking" someone here, it is Hamas who uses human shields to purposefully and deliberately attack Israeli civilian population.
5. The "brave and heroic women of Code Pink"? Pleeez ... When was the last time have you seen one of them? They are all nuts of the professional revolutionary kind. Aged hippies wanting a cause to fight for. And what better target than the Jews - the Jews usually are tolerant and not militant, and thus present a very convenient target. Only you're forgetting one little thing - not all Jews are such pacifists, willing to tolerate such outrage. And certainly not the Israeli Jews, who know how to fight.
6. You, Andrew, and your kind "all keep up your hate" against the Jews and Israel and the U.S. and the West, and you support the "racist and immoral" Arab and Islamist governments and terror groups all over the world, while they "commit crimes against hummanity daily" - crimes against their own people and crimes against us in Israel, U.S., Europe, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Philippines, etc.
7. I would love to say that "Your soul is primed for HELL" - but you have no soul to speak of, Andrew - you are but a vile and obnoxious midget of a person, a puny little annoying dog with a lot of bark, but no bite.
Be gone, you wretched little worm. Crawl in the dirt where you belong. The likes of you shouldn't see the light of day, you miserable scum.
Seva, YOU ARE THE MAN.
I think I first came to Solomonia when the post detailing your experiences with the islamofascist supporting psychos in Boston was current.
It may have been from a link to Solomonia from littlegreenfootballs.
I'm keeping to myself for now, so don't expect me to email you just now.
Stay strong and safe.
Russian Jews are great supporters of Israel because Russian Jews KNOW everyday socialism, lived in the fallen soviet empire and know the REALITY of socialism, not the idealized version that euro trash and anti-American Americans cultishly believe in.
All the best to you Seva, and ETERNAL NAKBA for the enemies of the US, Israel and India.
From the River to the Sea,
Pal-e-SWINE will NEVER BE.
"F" "F" Pal-e-SWINE 4EVER!
INSHALLAH!
Yeah, shouting "Allahu Akbar!" will really endear ordinary Americans to their cause. Best way to turn a liberal into a neocon I've seen yet - good job, Code Pink!
