This protest in front of the White House is one of eight taking place all across the country today, where protesters are demanding that the U.S. government recognize the necessity of a Palestinian state, one that is given the same rights that are afforded to almost all of the world's nations.
PressTv (Iran): Americans rally for Palestinian statehood
What would we do without the Iranian media reporting on world events?
Without the Iranian PressTV, would we have known about this protest outside the Whitehouse?
Probably not.
These are 2 photos taken by a friend of Challah Hu Akbar, who estimates the crowd being roughly 15-20 protesters at its peak.
The short article has a short video that stands out for the recital of the usual platitudes that for some unexplained reason place Palestinian Arabs ahead of long established peoples to be granted a state of their own.
It is all very well to say "the Palestinians need a state"--the problem is that such a vague nebulous statement reflects the accepted ignorance of the failure of Abbas and the Palestinian Authority to put a stop the regular tributes to murderers of Israeli civilians, the payment of a salary to imprisoned terrorists, and the rule by Abbas and Fayyad whose current positions in authority is illegal and highlights the fact that the Palestinian constitution lies in tatters.
It is a bit pitiful is hear a college student complain about US money going to Israel, apparently ignorant of the millions in US tax dollars that are regularly going to support the corrupt Abbas government which has frittered the money away--not to mention spending those US tax dollars on those terrorist salaries.
One thought upon seeing the PressTV reporter standing near the protest: too bad that Iran cannot afford to allow foreign journalists to report in Iran, unencumbered by the regime's restrictions.
And so it goes...
Technorati Tag: Palestine.
