The George Floyd riots of 2020 showed leftists that they can do virtually anything in America today and suffer at worst only token consequences. On Monday, pro-Palestinian protesters in New York City showed that they have taken that lesson to heart.
The New York Post reported that “hateful anti-Israel protesters yelling inflammatory chants snarled traffic and caused chaos as they descended upon John F. Kennedy International Airport Monday – creating a nightmare on one of the busiest travel days of the year.” Among the “inflammatory chants” was “NYPD, KKK, IDF you’re all the same,” which was as absurd as it was portentous: it was a clear indication that New York City hasn’t seen the last of these pro-Hamas thugs.
That is even clearer in light of the fact that the JFK Airport protest was the handiwork of Within Our Lifetime, which the Post describes as a “Palestinian-led activist group.” The Post also reported in mid-November that Within Our Lifetime “shared a frightening map of New York City newsrooms, businesses, and landmark buildings — and called for ‘direct action’ to ‘globalize intifada.’”
Among the “direct action” on Monday were “balloons floating in the air above JFK” during the protest, at least one of which was captured on video. An NYPD source stated that “the FBI is investigating who let the balloons go because they could cause a threat to aviation safety.” As of this writing on Tuesday morning, however, no arrests have been made in connection with the balloons, and all in all, only seven protesters even received summonses. The low number was despite the fact that the protests led to the delay of sixty flights and innumerable travelers were held up for hours going to or from the airport on New Year’s Day.
After all, the cops had plenty of opportunity to make numerous arrests. The Post noted that “around 100 cars left from Canarsie earlier in an effort to halt travel at JFK – but were denied entry into Terminal 4, where photos showed an armored NYPD vehicle parked in a lane near the terminal’s exit.” On Monday afternoon, Within Our Lifetime stated that the “airport is swarming with law enforcement and organizers were removed from Terminal 4.” Yet only seven people received a summons.
What’s more, “after being turned away from JFK, the car caravan left the area and headed to LaGuardia Airport, creating more congestion on the Grand Central Parkway, according to an NYPD advisory posted on X shortly after 3 p.m. But the group met a similar fate as they were also blocked from entering the second airport, according to Brooklyn Councilwoman Inna Vernikov.” Clearly, this protest was a massive operation involving large numbers of people. Would the NYPD have been more energetic in stopping this protest if it had been, say, a pro-Trump demonstration against election fraud? To ask the question is to answer it.
Even more ominous was the fact that some protesters were displaying the Hamas flag. The U.S. State Department, even in these dark days of the Biden regime, still lists Hamas as a terror organization. And so now we have open support for a terror organization displayed in the same city where terrorists who had the same ideology as Hamas murdered nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001. In response, we get a travel advisory: “NYPD Chief of Transportation Philip Rivera advised travelers to plan their travel ahead of time and be prepared for delays due to planned protests. The Port Authority noted that travelers should build in additional travel time for typically heavy traffic during the holidays as well.”
Hey, that’s great advice: pro-terror savages are shutting down a major American airport, so…be prepared for delays! Not: “We are not going to tolerate this and will arrest all those who are involved.” Not: “We are launching a major investigation into support for Hamas in the United States and will shut down all Hamas-linked organizations and deport non-citizens who are involved in promoting Hamas’ goals in this country.” Instead, the Post noted laconically that “no arrests had been made by early Monday evening.”
Oh, and understandably, “the NYPD did not immediately return requests for comment.” What could it say when the clear import of what happened on Monday is that they’re allowing the ideology of the protesters, which the left shares, to overwhelm any lingering sense of duty to the public that they may have?
So, what do y’all think? Are the downsides of the Crusades shrinking?
The upsides seems to be swelling like the value of the Pelosi stock portfolio and the belly of a pregnant Ken™ doll.
It seems it’s time to expel the occupiers from Constantinople and the Holy Land. Let’s free them up so the Islamic settlers can resettle in Arabia and enjoy living with their kind.
Liberate Sophia!
Agreed.
If the demonstrate in support of Hamas, after that butchery, every single one of those scum should be returned to the ME tomorrow. This includes those scumbags of the Squad.
Think of it as lancing a boil.
These terrorist enablers should’ve simply been turned into human speed-bumps.
Should any still be squirming on the road, just back up over them, or whip out a high-capacity 12 gauge. (Islamic jihadist enablers earn as much.)
Future aswipes thinking of blocking roads would consider healthier options.
Every Presidents from Reagan to Biden wanted a diversified society. This is the results. A country that is very divided and being pushed in every direction at the same time. Turmoil and protests is what America will have to endure in the future. Don’t be surprised, if the United States breaks up into several new nations before the end of this century.
There is probability that if the Dems wtake the election in 2024, America will no longer be a first world nation. Right now, in fact, we have many traits of a third world nation with respect to lawfare being done by the Dems, the politicization of the FBi and DOJ and IRS. America will not survive another Dem president term, not even one four year term. By their destruction of our border they have taken the country back to prefirst world status.
America will become a Third World country by 2030. When the census is taken in 2030, no one group will be a majority. That means a nation like America will become even more divided than today. There will be constant protests by one group or another on some issue every week, demanding the U.S. government do this or that. America will become less educated, Congress will become less able to govern, the President will be unable to make the right decisions, and the American society will continue to decline as well.
When you really look at ourselves today, we are half way there already. Very sad indeed.
Actually we will achieve Leftist utopia by that time. No protests of any group will be tolerated. “reeducation” camps will be overflowing with said overflow being sent to the “showers”.
We don’t want Violent Mobs of Holigans in America trying to burn America Down we want them and their Financers and Supporters deported from America Period
If they really supported the islamic cowards they would be getting on a flight to Gaza to fight for them.
THis is typical M O of the radical DEms who are encouraging a STREET MILITIA that can be called out on a minutes notice with a political dog whistle
The war in Israel is about to widen so this kind of protest is going to be common unless its nipped in the bud
This is how a civil war starts when patriotic Americans have had enough and go out to confront them
Look up the original Weimar era German Antifa.
Yes… the BLM protests & Riots were headed up by satanic worshiping muslims…
All designed to feed into the manufactured Chaos…
Until you realize everything taking place in this world revolves around satanic islam… nothing will make sense to you…
satanic islam is satan’s answer to the Cross… to kill Jews… and… Christians who share the Gospel of Salvation…
satanic islam is satan’s Death Army… satan’s Killing Machine…
Everywhere satanic islam goes… death & destruction follows…
BLM from the beginning was powerfully controlled by gay and trans radical blacks and openly hated the very concept of the family (thought they later removed this tid-bit from their site).
In New York, NYpD might as well be defunded. It is useless.
How much longer will this be tolerated? It looks like the NYPD and Port Authority lack the will to put an end to these illegal protests on public roadways. In the meantime, passengers need to allow several extra hours to catch a flight. That’s rich. It’s what the country has become.
Barack is pleased. FUNDAMENTAL transformation. Did you think he was kidding?
Democrats are allowed to riot, especially in an election year. In 2020 there were hundreds of leftist riots all over the country causing billions in damage about 20 lives and hundreds injured. Punishment? Nah; all over a guy who died from a fentanyl overdose. These weren’t Trump supporters. Before that it was “Hands up don’t shoot”. Before that it was “Occupy Wall St.”
2024 is an even more important election year … so Democrats are guaranteed to keep rioting without consequence until they have secured their final permanent grip on power. There will again be “plenty of opportunity to make numerous arrests” but it isn’t going to be that way. The FBI and nearly all police officers have been coopted by the left and will obey their master’s will.
The Hamas Flag is no more disgusting than the Confederate battle flag or Trump flags often waved about by our home grown domestic terrorists.
In any event, waving a flag is clearly a 1st amendment protected freedom.
Great, don’t take a side, fence sitter.
Wiki Reports…
“It would be wrong to name the flag as the Hamas flag. Such flags, with the Sha’ada in white on green or black, are used by other Islamic groups and are not unique to Hamas. Therefore it is not the ‘Hamas flag’ but rather a flag used also by the Hamas.” (Dov Gutterman, 29 Mar 2003)”
The flag you’re used to seeing is the ‘Fake Palestinian’ Flag…
New super-citizens … we’re in big trouble if we cannot deal with this soon. We have no way to respond to 40MM baby rapers here in the States. They will turn our cities into Beirut and our nation into Lebanon.
Islam is not compatible with a free society … only a totalitarian state can manage the demonic lunacy of Muslims …
G-d help us all …
As long as people aren’t arrested, prosecuted and imprison for this sort of stuff it will continue. Our society has been telling Leftists they have a “Get Out of Jail Free” card for decades. You get more of what you subsidize.
Our police and law enforcement agencies often don’t enforce the law, yet they still keep their jobs, pay and pensions.
What’s wrong with this picture?
I don’t blame the police so much. In blue jurisdictions they know the DAs won’t bring charges so why bother making arrests?
I really wish the media would show the graphic videos of what Hamas did to the Israelis victims. Perhaps it would shut-up a few. Likely not
