Did you know that there was a “People’s Conference for Palestine” in Detroit this weekend. Or that it was an annual event?
Personally I have no problem with people who want an independent state of Palestine in the middle east. That would solve a host of problems and make most people of good will on both sides happy.
The problem, of course, is that the “People’s Conference” doesn’t aspire to just having an independent state called Palestine. It wants a state of Palestine which, as hamas is happy to tell you in its own covenant, would be accomplished through vaporizing Israel.
The covenant’s second paragraph:
Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it” (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).
Oh, and then there is this little matter of killing Jews; all of them, Israeli and non-Israeli both.
The last part of Article 7:
The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said:
“The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.” (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).
If that is the basis for creating a state of Palestine, I think I’ll pass.
But it certainly is a key demand of the “conference”. And that is before we get to its other hatreds – such as unbridled hatred of the United States and, more generally, western values.
Want some specifics? Here are key excerpts from the New York Post editorial which will provide them:
If you had any doubts about the true agenda of the “pro-Palestine” movement, just consider last weekend’s annual People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit.
It was a gathering of martyrdom fetishists, Hamas supporters and antisemites, all bathing in an atmosphere of hate, rage and despair as they condemned Israel but reserved their deepest scorn for the United States.
The focus was a kind of patriotism and love of country — for Palestine. No American flags were in sight, though a prominent “Glory to Our Martyrs” banner kept everyone mindful of their ultimate duty to the cause.
Speakers vied to outdo one another in their fury at Israel, America, the West and Jews.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) used her favorite “M-word” to whoops and applause, telling the crowd, “I wanna say to every genocide enabler, look at this room, motherf—ers, we ain’t going anywhere!”
America, explained the potty-mouthed pol, was built on “slavery, genocide, rape and oppression.”
Among her big ideas: “Keep AIPAC out of US politics!” — though the American Israel Public Affairs Committee is an American organization funded entirely by Americans; the lobbyists and “activists” relying on foreign funding and anti-American priorities would be AIPAC’s critics.
Nidal Jboor, an MD who spoke of his dedication to life and love, also insisted that “Jewish supremacists” be “taken out, neutralized.” Jewish supremacists? “We know who they are,” the loving doctor assured the crowd.
Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University protest organizer, explained that Hamas — the rapist child-burners and rabid Islamists, though of course he didn’t spell that out — is the model for action against the worldwide “Zionist genocidal project.”
In all, the People’s Conference for Palestine wasn’t much different in tone than what the “River to the sea” gang offers on any given day — except that so much unhinged rage, gathered in one room, nicely exposed what a toxic stream of filth this movement truly is.
Now that you know what transpired at this “conference”, I have a question for you.
Other than what you just read, how many accounts of the “People’s Conference for Palestine” – which featured Rep. rashida tlaib (D-MI), whose hate-Israel/hate-Jews positions parallel those of ilhan omar (D-MN) and a bunch of other Democrats – have you come across?
If the answer is very few or none (I wouldn’t be surprised if it were the latter), what does this tell you about the media we are supposed to rely on for news? And how appreciative do you suppose the Israel/Jew haters are for this lack of coverage?
Then they wonder why fewer and fewer people trust them…
