In 1934 Jews were segregated on trains. By 1942 Jews were deported on trains to death camps. Watch how nobody intervenes. In earshot of Jews & bystanders too afraid to speak out, in NYC? This is how facism succeeds. On Palestine the prog left has lost its mind.
Oliver Sears
"Okay no Zionists, we're good." The crowd cheers.
Jews are 16 percent of the population NYC. Upwards of 90 percent of Jews are Zionists.
You've created a culture in which Jews must hide our identity.
Next time I see your movement booing, I'll remember what you cheer...

What exactly is it about this misogynistic, human rights abusing, Holocaust denying, antisemitic, theocratic, terrorist regime that so appeals to the President of Ireland? President of one of the most liberal democracies in the world.
Do you want to know why the regime in Iran decided to execute protesters in relation to the Women, Life, Freedom uprising after two years?
Look at how leaders of the free world, like the Irish president, stand with blood-soaked tyrants and ignore the crimes against humanity
