2. Don't you love it when "progressives" are promoting the Iran/Syria agenda?

Where Hamas and Hezbollah ministers and their openly anti-Semitic BFF like Gilad Atzmon (who of course endorses the march) are described as peace activists?

Wait until the mass media starts airbrushing Syria, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Muslim Brotherhood out of the story altogether, in order to portray these terrorist sympathizers as peace activists.

In fact, count on it.
