Here's the profane, violent threatening abuse the communists and Hamas solidarity protesters heap on Israel supporters:
More, "Some Thoughts on Sunday's Pro-Palestinian Rally in L.A":
As expected yesterday's pro-Palestinian rally at the Los Angeles Federal Building was short on logic, long on mindless chants, and long on loud intimidation of opposing voices. The first indication of that came when a lone man carrying a sign that insulted the Prophet Mohammad was swarmed by screaming people who got in his face, screamed insults at him and took away the sign. The second incident was when Steve Goldberg, head of the Zionist Organization of America, and a lady appeared on the scene with an Israeli flag. Once again, they were swarmed by people screaming obscenities at them as they attempted to make their way across Wilshire Blvd where a few dozen pro-Israel folks had gathered.More.
On both occasions, while filming these incidents, I tried unsuccessfully to get the attention of LASD, LAPD and the Protective Services Security to alert them that violent situations were brewing. I was unsuccessful. The cops at that point were basically acting like potted plants. Most of them were trying to be unobtrusive in a parking lot across the street standing behind a hedge. In the first case it took an event organizer with a bullhorn who eventually told the crowd to leave the man with the sign alone and get back. Only then did Sheriff's deputies arrive to guard the man. In the case of Goldberg, it was only when he crossed Wilshire Blvd that deputies arrived to escort him across the street. Only then did deputies and police start doing their job protecting the Israel supporters from what was a screaming mob. Even then they did not keep the groups separate. Individual Palestinian supporters continued to cross the street to hurl insults at the few dozen Israeli supporters. At one point, a young man was shouting, "Long live Hamas. Long live Jihad. Long live Hizbollah" in the faces of the pro-Israel supporters. I was less than 10 feet way and saw and heard it clearly...
