Who Is Behind the Pro-Hamas Demonstrations in Washington
(Los Angeles Jewish Journal) Asra Q. Nomani - Last week at Union Station, in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol, a crowd pulled down the American flags and hoisted Palestinian flags, burning the American flags to shouts of "Allahu Akbar!" by Muslim activists. I drove to Union Station and saw the graffiti: "End Israel. I Commend Hamas," "Death 2 Amrikkka," "A National Led by Muhammad Will Not Be Defeated." As an American Muslim, I had received an email from American Muslims for Palestine and found the portal to get bus tickets for the Washington demonstration. It was on the website of ANSWER, a coalition of self-described socialist, Leninist, and Marxist organizations, led by the cofounders of the National Party for Socialism and Liberation. They are pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine, pro-China, pro-North Korea, pro-Cuba, and pro-Venezuelan socialism. This wasn't an organic, grassroots, spontaneous event. It was coordinated and orchestrated.
