‘What You Saw Here Today Was Naked, Blind Antisemitism:’ NYC Councilman Slams Palestine Activists Who Disrupted Auschwitz Commemoration Debate (VIDEO)

http://www.algemeiner.com/2015/01/22/what-you-saw-here-today-was-naked-blind-antisemitism-nyc-councilman-slams-palestine-activists-who-disrupted-auschwitz-commemoration-debate-video/

New York City Councilman David Greenfield fiercely denounced a group of antisemitic pro-Palestinian demonstrators who disrupted a Council meeting today, at the exact time that a resolution commemorating the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz was being discussed.

Moments after the demonstrators were escorted from the chamber by security guards, Greenfield, the grandchild of Holocaust survivors, began a speech that rapidly evolved into an impassioned discourse on the overlap between hatred of Israel and hatred of Jews....

Yet another proud moment for the BDS movement.

I stand by my statement. R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #101

IOW, BDS right or wrong. You'll never denounce BDS no matter how ugly.... shira Jan 2015 #106

The whimpers that come from the defenders of apartheid Israel are so freakishly predictable. R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #111

I thought that post was pretty offensive King_David Jan 2015 #22

U betcha! Nt PCIntern Jan 2015 #35

We're not talking mask slipping. It was ripped off entirely. n/t shira Jan 2015 #38

No surprise to me. Nt PCIntern Jan 2015 #105

During the EXACT same time an Auschwitz resolution was being discussed? shira Jan 2015 #6

Well, shira, I guess that the parallels, to a degree, have been lost on you. R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #10

Even classier! Israel=Nazis parallel. You're on a roll! n/t shira Jan 2015 #39

I never wrote that, but there are parallels R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #46

You definitely implied that. And there are no parallels unless... shira Jan 2015 #49

Reread post 46 again, shira. R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #50

So then there are parallels b/w the Nazis & every western nation.... shira Jan 2015 #51

No, shira. You don't really understand R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #54

Jews living in their indigenous homeland aren't colonizers.... shira Jan 2015 #67

"Jews living in their indigenous homeland aren't colonizers...." Yes, shira, they are when Israel R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #100

Another non-response. It's pretty much all you're good at here. n/t shira Jan 2015 #107

You most certainly did , it's there for everyone to read nt King_David Jan 2015 #57

"Israel=Nazis" ?? No Dave, that is shira's rant. I never wrote that. R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #98

"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. Hestia Jan 2015 #103

Did Jewish Voices for Peace time the protest to interrupt the resolution or was it something else? azurnoir Jan 2015 #15

JVP knew what it was doing. Same theme as their sick Yom Kippur funny... shira Jan 2015 #23

I had forgotten about that one thanks azurnoir Jan 2015 #27

Yeah, it is awful. Jews aren't all responsible for Israel's actions. shira Jan 2015 #34

Interesting comment and while I agree Jews should not be held responsible for Israel's actions azurnoir Jan 2015 #43

Interesting? No, JVP was flat out wrong. Wrong like the Paris terrorists.... shira Jan 2015 #48

actually the protest took place as the vote was being concluded-the resolution passed BTW azurnoir Jan 2015 #18

JVP ,the group that provides the cover to the people 'wanting " to claim they ONLY antiZionist..... King_David Jan 2015 #24

so Jewish Voices for Peace isn't really Jewish? azurnoir Jan 2015 #26

Didn't know that Phillip Weiss was Jewish. R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #29

I'm pretty sure I am not the only one who hasn't a clue what this post means, King_David Jan 2015 #32

Here read again ... Rabbi Yoffe King_David Jan 2015 #31

you didn't answer the question I read your post the first time no need to link back to it azurnoir Jan 2015 #33

They're not representative of mainstream Jews at all. They're so fringe... shira Jan 2015 #36

Jewish Voices for Peace are 'like' flat earthers? azurnoir Jan 2015 #62

Well, yeah - when they speak for < 1% of all Jews they're WAY out... shira Jan 2015 #64

well if that's true (do you have a poll or something?) then azurnoir Jan 2015 #73

It is true, no if's. Even being generous, if there were 25,000 in the world.... shira Jan 2015 #74

except JVP didn't say "all Jews" did it ? azurnoir Jan 2015 #76

Yeah, that cartoon shows they'd sneak into EVERY synagogue in America.... shira Jan 2015 #78

seems odd making such fuss over a cartoon did you feel the same about Hebdo or was that azurnoir Jan 2015 #79

Do u believe in the idea that all Muslims are accountable for terror? shira Jan 2015 #93

Not what I asked is it ? azurnoir Jan 2015 #94

I think we Jews are capable of deciding what is or is not antiSemitic for ourselves without help King_David Jan 2015 #82

who exactly is "giving help" from the outside? azurnoir Jan 2015 #83

antiZionism is considered antisemitism by the majority of Jews King_David Jan 2015 #85

Here's my post , King_David Jan 2015 #40

well someone thinks it's important but I am not sure it's the Presbyterians azurnoir Jan 2015 #42

It's noted ? Are you keeping a file on me? nt King_David Jan 2015 #44

Presbyterians and others think it's very important King_David Jan 2015 #45

They say they're Jews but JVP has both Jews & non-Jews. shira Jan 2015 #52

That's not important King_David Jan 2015 #55

My point is they're Jews & non-Jews who think they speak for Jews.... shira Jan 2015 #68

JVP supports Gilad Atzmon? not according to their website azurnoir Jan 2015 #75

Yeah, they do. See #70 below... shira Jan 2015 #77

Apparently not disgusting at all in these here parts. n/t shira Jan 2015 #12

+1. nt bemildred Jan 2015 #19

The establishment, and those with an axe to grind, usually find protests offensive. R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #30

Nah, they find Jew hating protests offensive - as they should. n/t shira Jan 2015 #65

"Jew hating protests" from Did Jewish Voices for Peace? R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #99

Yep. n/t shira Jan 2015 #108

Okay, whatever you say.... R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2015 #109

what an idiot jollyreaper2112 Jan 2015 #56

Good to see where this discussion is headed to King_David Jan 2015 #58

oh, goodie! jollyreaper2112 Jan 2015 #59

May be so but you don't know what the definition of antisemitism is : King_David Jan 2015 #61

It's an invented word jollyreaper2112 Jan 2015 #63

Yea it means hatred against Jews King_David Jan 2015 #69

May 2013: Jewish voice for peace promotes Gilad Atzmon shira Jan 2015 #70

The claims of ProIsrael bloggers? really who's 'proof' doesn't mention JVP? azurnoir Jan 2015 #80

Gilad Atzmon: coached by JVP and Ali Abunimah on avoiding accusations of antisemitism shira Jan 2015 #72

again no mention of JVP only the claim of the same bloggers as above azurnoir Jan 2015 #81

Yes there is oberliner Jan 2015 #84

so you're taking Atzmon's word for it? and linking to what must be an antisemitic website to do so? azurnoir Jan 2015 #86

What's Greta Berlin got to do with this? Concentrate more on how Oberliner just demolished your King_David Jan 2015 #87

He didn't demolish a darned thing he linked to antisemite Gilad Atzmons website azurnoir Jan 2015 #88

Yea he proved the link between Atzmon ,JVP and King_David Jan 2015 #89

Atzmon's claims are dubious at best as he was fueding with named parties who had both denounced him azurnoir Jan 2015 #90

I know it's very frustrating when Oberliner does that... Not many people can match up to him.... King_David Jan 2015 #91

it seems what was done was to show that that would be thought of as diametrially opposed parties azurnoir Jan 2015 #92

Another post I don't get, King_David Jan 2015 #95

I already did sorry if you don't understand azurnoir Jan 2015 #96

No problem, if anyone else understands maybe they can PM or tell me what it means? King_David Jan 2015 #97
