New Yorkers erect a "Separation" Wall in Midtown Manhattan

[Resistance]

ARABS, JEWS AND OTHER CONCERNED NEW YORKERS MARCH TOGETHER TO PROTEST ISRAELS "SEPARATION FENCE"

New York City, Nov 9th -- Approximately 150 New Yorkers converged at Bryant Park, Manhattan, carrying three sixty-yard mock "walls" depicting the 25-ft.-high wall enclosing the Palestinian people in the West Bank. The protesters marched down 42nd street to Grand Central Station where they carried the wall inside to display it for passer-bys, while chanting "Tear Down the Wall."

"We are sending a message to our governments to stop their support of this hideous act of ethnic cleansing veiled behind 'security' rhetoric," said Omar Jamal of SUSTAIN-NYC. "Because the wall separates between Palestinians and their land, their source of livelihood, they are forced to leave their villages to find new sources to feed their families."

4. How about

100.000 people in Israel demonstrating against Sharon and demanding changes regarding the occupation, illegal settlements etc...?

[La_Serpiente]

5. At least they know how to get along

you throw off their meritorious efforts as some lame excuse.

You should be ashamed of yourself. At least they are making postive progress and making a stand for peace.

6. you mean the fascist IDF thugs?

killing palestinian children

7. A Palestinian child

Blew himself up on Nov 3. So that death, as sixteen year old, will of course be blamed on the IDF.

8. Your words are sure to come true soon, sadly enough

[Herschel]

9. Electronic Intifada

Small wonder that the poster hides his source behind a label. It is as ridiculous as this protest.

[bluesoul]

10. No more then

Jpost, Fox New, Fox&Corkum, JCPA.org or any of those RW sources so often posted here...

[Herschel]

11. Your insinuation

that this source is as reliable as the Jerusalem Post is beyond absurd. I will leave it at that.

[bluesoul]

12. It is just as much reliable

Both are biased. Jpost being RW to add to that....

[Herschel]

13. The Jerusalem Post

is indeed pragmatic as opposed to leftist on some issues. It's standards far exceed those of this rubbish.

[Forkboy]

14. As a fellow progressive

it troubles me to see you deride leftist though as unpragmatic.

16. You two

Many Democrats share a pragmatic view of foreign affairs, as opposed to misguided leftists. I am such a Democrat.

17. "misguided leftists"

Really taken root here, haven't you.

[bluesoul]

18. So all those for peace

and against the occupation and illegal settlements like the 100.000 Israelis that demonstrated are "misguided leftists"?

[Herschel]

19. As progressives

we all value peace. However, it should not be sought at any price.

[el_gato]

21. all of the murderous violence you support

will never give us peace

[Gimel]

22. violence of any kind

should not be supported. If we could wish it away, we certainly would. Self-defense is the only legitimate violence, and it should not be taken to extremes.

23. 150 people in a city of 8,000,000? It sounds like New Yorkers stayed away

from this event in droves.

There would normally be more than 150 people mid-day at an intersection in downtown Manhattan.
