דער מאנרא אראבער: איז ער נאר אנטי-איזראעל אדער אויך אנטי-אידן?
אין ניו יארק טיימס שטייט היינט אז א מאנרא געז סטעישאן owner, אן אראבער, האט גענומען די גאנצע משפחה און זיך ארויסגעלאזט קיין מאנהעטען כדי צו קענען פראטעסטירן קעגן מדינת ישראל.
דארף מען מורא האבן פון אים?
Many in the pro-Palestinian crowd brought their children, and came from towns and mosques across the region to be there. Ned Abu Irsid, 40, a gas station owner in Monroe, in Orange County, drove his wife and three children two hours to join the demonstration. His children, ages 10, 8, and 5, were bundled up in down jackets to protect them from the winter chill. Two of them waved small American flags, the other a Palestinian flag.
''The massacre of the Palestinian people is really a horrible thing,'' Mr. Irsid said, ''and that's the least we can do, is to come down and make our voices heard a little bit.''
Mr. Irsid, who immigrated from Jordan 23 years ago, said he wanted his children, who were all born in this country, to carry American flags to show them and the nation that support for Palestinians did not mean disloyalty to America.
''First and foremost,'' he said, ''we live in this country, and this is who we are.''
Told about the ground invasion, Mr. Irsid looked crestfallen.
''I was hoping that this would never happen, because of the simple fact that a lot of innocent people are going to die,'' he said.
