Non-Jewish Pro-Israel Couple Attacked By Muslim Mob in NYC 1/11/09.

Man’s Eye Injured, Expect More Such Street Confrontations from BrownShirt Islamic Fascists

A member of the incredible blogger listserv group, Liberalhawks, posted this sobering report by someone who prefers to remain anonymous for now. They are meeting with the police. Video footage of the attack or eyewitnesses may exist.

In the last two weeks, millions of highly aggressive and hate-filled Muslims, together with their left-wing supporters have marched against Israel and America, world-wide. They chant ugly, angry words that go far beyond the Nazi-era versions. They are pure Islamic and Islamist words of Jew-hatred, the kinds of words and ideas that Palestinian children are taught from birth.

Now, they have landed on our shores with a frightening intensity. What these hordes are doing has nothing to do with the exercise of free speech or the defense of a civilian population under siege. Rather, they defend terrorism and terrorists who wrap themselves in their own women and children, hide their weapons in hospitals, schools, and mosques, pose their own people in fake action shots which continue to fool the western media.

This is only one report. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands like it all across America and Europe.

I would like to hear from my readers about what you think Americans can and should do about such incredibly violent hate fests against Israel, Jews, and America that are taking place in America.

A blogger writes about being attacked by a horde of Muslims after the rally on 1/11/09. With her permission, I am sharing what she wrote up about the attack. What happened to her could happen to any of us and we need to find ways to protect ourselves in the immediate future and to remove the long-term source of the threat. Even calling 911 on her cell might not have helped her much considering how tied up the police were with other incidents like this one, as you will see in her report.

************************************************************

"After walking home from the 42 Street & 7th Avenue Pro-Israel rally, I watched the Muslim rally participants march up 8th Avenue closely controlled by many NYC police to keep them moving along. Even so, it appeared that many of the young men and women were eyeing the bystanders on the sidewalk in threatening ways almost challenging someone to disagree with their Death to Israel and God Bless Hitler chants.

I went back to my apartment where I met my boyfriend who had also just returned from the second Pro Israel rally on 39th Street & 7th Avenue. We walked outside the building and across a major midtown avenue on the West Side to buy some groceries. He was still carrying the Israeli flag and we were both wearing baseball caps with the American flag and USA on the brims. A large number of Muslims were milling around since it seems that their rally had reached its end point and was dispersing. Six Muslim men were being photographed with posters with the words, "Praise Hamas and Hezbollah, Reopen the Ovens" and were taking photos of themselves and their posters. Seeing us with the Israel flag, they began screaming, “You’re assholes, Kill the Jews, We are going to kill you, This is OUR country," etc.

We went into the corner deli and they began banging on the window and stood outside in a very threatening mob waiting for us to leave. I heard one man say, "She is a female" – very observant. I don’t know what this was suppose to signal to his fellow terrorists. When we left the deli a mob of the original Muslims and others who joined them came up to us screaming death to the Jews, and one man around 19/20 years old ran up and with force and hatred threw an egg into my friend’s eye. This may not seem like much but I am sure the intent was for the egg shells to be lodged in his eye. The egg was not thrown from afar against his coat but was thrown like a rock would be – to inflict as much harm as possible. The assailant then grabbed our Israeli flag, threw it to the ground, and was spitting on it and wiping his feet on it. When we asked a traffic cop to make an arrest, the assailant ran away down the block but the traffic agent did not answer us nor did he call 911. He passively stood by doing NOTHING.

Two people standing on the street took photos of our attack and said they would email us with the photos to identity the criminals. We then walked back across the street to our building and were followed by a pack of Muslims – about 8 or 10 – who continued to threaten, mock and scream at us. They seemed surprised at our ferocious counter verbal attack. However, they came right within 6 inches of us saying they would kill us. One of the men was about to attack me when my boyfriend saw the assault about to begin and said, "If you touch her, I swear I’ll kill you." At that point the original traffic control cop came over and a second traffic agent joined him and forced the crowd to disperse. They asked us to go into the apartment building lobby which we did.

We immediately called the police and asked to make a police report. Two NYC policemen came to the apartment about an hour later hour and took the information. They were very courteous and said they will file the report and a detective is to contact us tomorrow. They apologized for taking so long to come by but explained that there were many incidents of a similar nature that were taking place as the Muslim rally broke up. They also shared that 2 NYC police officers had been attacked at the rally and that the Muslims are ‘out of control.

‘Without the photos, it will be near impossible to find the Muslims involved. Even with the photos, I am not sure if the police can find the assailant or make an arrest. I am told by an attorney friend, that just the act of following and threatening is a crime in and of itself. Whatever it takes, we’ll take it as far as possible to prosecute.

Any ideas as how to pursue this would be welcome. This attack could happen to anyone. This attack happened in midtown Manhattan, a major American city on a Sunday afternoon. Our country is under attack from within. We need to do much more than attend rallies.

What do we do? We stand up to them. Whether it is the careless words of a bigot or violence in the street, we do not let it go unchallenged. The former we can each do on our own. The latter takes organization backed by lawyers who will protect us from misuse of police and prosecutorial authority, and by people who will publicize our side when the battle falls into the courts.

We stand up to them.

One can’t rely on the police for protection. Self-defense is crucial!

I like to think long term strategies.

They include divesting from Sudan and Iran and stop depending from Saudi oil.

How do we get these people.. post their pictures on a web with a description of what the person did, the time..in a clinical description. Get hundreds, thousands of these pictures, with date, time, action… and the question.. DOES ANYONE RECOGNIZE THIS PERSON..IF SO…EMAIL US CONFIDENTIALLY AT … WITH NAME … SO THAT WE CAN INFORM THE POLICE

Jan 12, 2009 - 11:30 am 5. andrew nitzberg:

What to do?

1. Hold the organizers responsible.

2. One way is through legal action. (a) petition to deny such groups parade/assembly permits or (b) bring a personal injury or civil rights action (lawsuit).

3. The attack of Jews at all such pro-palestinian arab rallies establishes a sound factual basis on which to prosecute such a lawsuit. [The almost 100% record of violent attacks on Jews at such events makes the attacks "foreseeable" and requires action to avoid such attacks on the part of the responsible parties; the organizers.]

If there are never any consequences, the attacks will continue and get worse. If you reward behavior, even deviant behavior, you get more of the behavior (see Europe).

In a city environment like where this happened there should be very good evidential surveillance tracking processes ie shop cameras and street cameras footage etc that can be obtained, especially one would expect with a Police complaint. If believe it is important to keep the momentum up with the Police compliant.

Best Wishes.

Well, the hordes have arrived. There are many good ideas posted here. Getting a visual record using various kinds of cameras seems to be of utmost importance. Since the police department has been attacked as well, wouldn’t it be helpful to contact our New York politicos and insist on their becoming more active in repressing the hysterical kind of protest that already is commonplace in Europe. It’s either their way of life or OURS!

Jan 12, 2009 - 12:08 pm 8. Dr S McCosker:

A similar incident happened in Australia – it was reported in the Australian Jewish News online.

http://www.ajn.com.au/news/news.asp?pgID=6882

A visibly Jewish Aussie guy who works in the CBD, exchanged words with someone at a Muslim pro-Jihad anti-Israel ‘rally’ in the centre of Sydney CBD, in the afternoon. Three men (probably Muslims) then followed him and jumped him, in the street, in public, in broad daylight, harming him sufficiently that he has to have surgery on his shoulder.

His description of his attackers: “The guys were pretty well organised and violent,” he added. “They were not peaceful protesters.”

I think this sort of thing – and the attacks on police, also mentioned in the account, similar attacks causing injury happened at two Muslim ‘rallies’ (near-riots) in London and Edinburgh – is such that our governments should start preparing a total ban on any further Muslim immigration into non-Muslim countries such as Australia and America.

Deportations of ALL Muslim inciters of jihad, of exposed jihad plotters and of those who attempt to practise or teach the clandestine practice of any and all elements of sharia that contravene western moral, civil and criminal law (e.g. polygyny, trying to kill apostates, forced marriage of minor girls), should start happening, too.

Look at what those Muslim thugs said to the girl in NYC – “this is OUR country”. Those are not the words of a patriotic American – they are the words of a man who sees himself as a triumphant invader. Out with him.

Very disturbing news on all fronts: the actual war against murderous terrorists in Gaza, the street thugs out in force everywhere, the media people who have lost all sense of proportion and objectivity, the governments who fawn before non-existent governments and non-uniform-wearing militants, etc.

Here at the bottom of the world in New Zealand, where it is still the middle of a hot and humid summer, when most people are away at the beach and hardly any shops or amenities functioning, it is relatively quiet. Except: hate-filled marches by Palestine Solidarity/Human Rights/Green Party actiitsts, desecration of the Rabin memorial in Wellington, a taunting screaming mob at a world-tennis match in Auckland when an Israeli player comes on court, letters to the editor which have already slipped from anti-Zionist rhetoric to outright anti-Jewish rage. I dread the day when the crowds come back from their holidays, when schools open, and the university term begins.

She is afraid that the general public’s reactions will be more negative, since most of the 200 detained or arrested by the police following last week’s clashes have immigrant background.

Should we laugh or cry? This woman show NO interest in these people behaviours. The only thing she is worried about is “racism”.
Read it all.

The only thing that relieves me is that, according to what I know at least in the Usa mainstream feminist, women’s rights and gay/lesbian organisations are NOT cheering Hamas.

An interesting comment on “Morning Joe” today from a British Woman who is a journalist based in DC (I didn’t get her name). She commented that the British Foreign Office is filled with Arabists and that the British upper classes have a long history of anti-semitism. I wonder if the Muslim crazies rioting in London and elsewhere in the UK may finally open the eyes of the British people to the true danger in their midst.

Jan 12, 2009 - 2:49 pm 12. Ester:

Anyone with a moral backbone who just stands by without taking any action is doomed to be next-in-line for egregious, hate-filled action by radical elements. What will it take for people to wake up to what’s happening right in our midst. This is an insidious take-over bid by a group of flaw-filled, badly-coded, misinformed people–if they can even be recognized as part of the human race.

I would like to hear from my readers about what you think Americans can and should do about such incredibly violent hate fests…

JDL came up with the answer many decades ago: Every Jew a .22!

Jan 12, 2009 - 3:35 pm 14. Gail:

Phyllis,

Dear woman of God, I am so saddened by this news and what happened to this couple. I too, know the hatred which comes from mindsets as evil of these rioters.

In as much, I am praying for this couple and for God to intervene in healing for them…spiritually and physically!

You see, this is very much a spiritual battle as well as a physical one. No, we who stand with Israel are not out there taking muslim lives…just to rid the world of them! We have been tolerant…too tolerant! These acts of violence and hate mongering must be stopped on our soil!

Typically, in the past, our demonstrations have remained pretty non-violent. But, when you have hords of people who are marching on our soil with the intent to convert or kill us, then we must stand firm against these mindsets and evil doers! It is God who gives us the very right to defend our lives! Israel has the same right! In as much, why do they march in a country where we allow the freedom of religion? Is this not enough? We are protected against such by the Constitution and if others come here, with agendas to change our core beliefs, then they simply need to be expelled from this society.

I say this with all my heart! I do not hate the muslim people! I do not fear them! Why? I feel sorry for them because they do not know our God! The God of love, righteousness, forgiveness and so much more! How heavy thier hearts must be carrying all that hatred! Even so, they are blind to all which is good and freely given from God! This sorrows me to no end because they are allowing themselves to be evil doers while claiming to be “a religion of peace.” Religion is one thing but, by no means are they peaceful! How can they not see what is truly inside thier hearts? That it is evil, it crosses all manner of freedoms and that is why one agenda of thiers is to rid this land of freedom! You see this on the signs they banter with!

I boldly state that I support Israel, freedom and all that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has provided, through His awesome love for all! May all peoples of this world come to understand that no matter how we believe, it is NOT our right to try to convert others nor, hate them for what they believe in.

May God bless this couple for showing support for Israel and may He heal thier wounds with His love and true peace!

Gail

Jan 12, 2009 - 4:51 pm 15. Gail:

I would like to offer one more thing. About the media! Since the honor murders of Amina and Sarah, I have come to see how media only puts out what their agenda wants out! My words have been so muslim-friendlied that they have angered me to no end!

I dislike yellow jingoism very much but, what the media is now doing is very harmful to all who embrace our Constitutional laws!

We The People, are the ones who have to stop this spoon feeding and delflection of truths through the media in our country! ENOUGH!! We can think for ourselves but, they have an agenda which dictates that we think as they want us too! NO WAY! This is a very unAmerican way of presenting truths to our fellow citizens! This must be stopped and so must the terrorists who claim peace above all things! We need to open our eyes and call for the media to report truths, to stop being biased and give all facts! To stop making our words politically correct when we speak truths!

We all need to take a stand against this even if it means we do not watch a single news report and rely only on our computers for research which is solid and truthful ( trusting in the sources we choose). I know that if we stop using these things for spoon feedings for the brain, they will either have to change for the sake of remaining a source of news or, let the companies who own these news channels be tossed into the wreckage of lost business! It is our choice! We either stand for it or, we take action and stand against this spoon feeding of lies, for the sake of many agendas!

FREEDOM to think for ourselves and know true facts is something we do have power over! We do not have to be treated like brainless lemmings! In as much, I think we will remain in this position with it only worsening if we do not stand up against the media tycoons and say ENOUGH!! Present facts and shut-up! We have brains too and I for one use mine! We all reserve the right to be told truths…not truths with agendas stipulating the twisting of facts!

Here is a question for all of us Gentiles who support Israel: do we now dare, no matter what the risk, no matter what our fears, to get ourselves a Star of David (pendant, brooch, on a T-shirt or tie, whatever form is most appropriate and convenient to wear), and…wear it?

Do we have the courage that the Danes had, in World War II?

In Australia, for example, Jews number only some 85 000 people. But there are 12 million people who call themselves Christian. If even 10 % of those, chose to publicly identify in solidarity with the Jews, it might give the Muslims pause.

First thing is to screw up your moral courage. The decades of peace bought by the American forces in WWII have passed, and we are called upon to stand up, once again, for truth. Prepare yourself; this is not going to be easy. Now’s the time for people of good will to stand together.

This ought to be an object lesson for those who believe that violence is never justified; sometimes it is necessary to preserve one’s existence.

We should also ban all Muslim immigration and crack down on the universities and mosques.

Jan 15, 2009 - 7:00 am 24. Judy, NYC:

as jews we know what needs doing and how to best protect ourselves. we are not jews of the 1920’s or early 30’s who could not imagine that such a thing could happen. we know what happened in a highly civilized culture. these psychotic miscreants are not even civilized, so their actions at best could only be imagined in the framework of the nazis. they, however, are outside the box.

while this is an attack on worldwide jewry, of course, their goal is to dominate the world and everyone in it according to their own statements and beliefs. many christians have a hard time understanding this is not just a jewish problem. action is required sometimes prior to getting it, that one’s own self, family, country is in jeapordy. the word “jew” in the context of this assault on civilized humanity, is really meant to identify anyone who is not a rabid muslim. it is just easier to incite violence in a wider arena, and fabricate the old canards with a gloss of the new, just by using the word jew. in fact, christian arabs are threatened and murdered and tortured and in horrific circumstances, so “jew” means christian, too.

hindus and jews, as we have learned have joined together a million strong to remind this president that we will not sit still for the violent aggression and incitement to violence that has descended on europe, and now here. hindus, jews, many christians see this very clearly as rank evil that must be stopped and that its only intention is to kill us all, or convert us all. as i have no interest in coversions, my response of choice is quite simple.

Here in the UK the left wing rabble have formed a grubby partnership with radical Muslims.Any lever to attack Israel is OK with these people!
The bias of newspapers such as the ‘Guardian’ are not given the facts about terrorist attacks on Israel!
There are evil forces here that can openly rant against Jews and get away with it.
I myself have been the victim of antisemitism. I must say though, our police are very proactive in dealing with it. However, our courts in the UK are notoriously soft on all crime.
Shalom to all.
