AFDI'S HUGE CUNY PROTEST
We hope you had a good holiday honoring those who fought and died for our freedom. Here's news from the battles on home front.
The
AFDI demo against CUNY’s obscene invitation to pro-terror Jew-hater
Linda Sarsour to give their commencement address was a smashing success,
with over a thousand people who came out in a downpour of pelting rain
on East 42nd Street outside CUNY’s headquarters on Thursday afternoon to oppose the mainstreaming of evil. It was an amazing event, a turning point, despite Mayor de Blasio’s nefarious attempts to undermine and destroy the rally.

The demo received a lot of national and international press -- all of it (with the exception of Israel National News and the Forward) was hostile, of course. Fake news nonparallel (scroll down for photos and media coverage links).
We
had an army of security and costs related to sound, stage, speakers
expenses, hotels, etc. Please help us pay for these expenses.
Please
give generously. We have lost so much of our funding from donors --
perhaps because people think it's better under President Trump.
It's not. It's worse.

Mayor De Blasio is a longtime supporter of jihad and Muslim supremacists, and most especially terror-supporter Linda Sarsour. Mayor De Blasio gifted Sarsour’s “organization” with more than $500,000.
She was instrumental in getting de Blasio to partly dismantle the New
York Police Department’s program of spying on the city’s Muslims, and
has worked with officials in City Hall to close public schools for the
observance of Muslim holy days, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. From her
base at the Arab American Association of New York, the group whose focus
is the sharia device, “Islamophobia,” Sarsour is working to do the same
on immigration policy, voter registration, mass incarceration,
Islamophobia and the Police Department’s stop-and-frisk tactic.
Mayor
de Blasio went to extraordinary lengths to undermine our rally and
silence our voices. New York City is no stranger to protests. Protest is
a thriving tradition, and with the election of President Trump, is a
weekly, sometimes daily, exercise for leftists. So, at this point, the
NYPD has it down to a science. Protest organizers apply for a
permit, and if there is to be a counter protest, their area is set up
across the street, or catacorner to the main event. This is standard operating procedure. During our Ground Zero Mosque protests, the opposition was penned one block over. Every rally and demo is set up in this same way. Which is why what happened at our event was so very extraordinary.
The vicious, vocal and violent protesters were placed right next to the stage, not three feet away from the stage and our crowd.
And they screamed, blew deafening whistles, and screamed abusive chants
(“Grab that pussy!,” to which we chanted back, “No clit cutting!”).
There was no letup (which is why I am shouting the whole of the rally)
and at the end of the demo, the leftists attacked our people and were
arrested.

The enemedia did not report on this at all. They drummed up the narrative that the event was violent, with the New York Daily News going so far as to say “WILD BRAWL”
in their headline. That’s what de Blasio wanted. He wanted our people
attacked and hurt. And the enemedia eagerly advanced the big lie.
The Daily News said, "No arrests were made." But two arrests violent leftists were arrested. Did the NYDN even call NYPD?
That said, despite de Blasio’s attempt to undermine our rally, it didn’t work.
It was huge. And the happy warriors took a stand.
