Outside of those two, that’s some very unattractive people.

Dave Begley म्हणाले...

Why didn’t the MAGA people think of making the Fake News run that gauntlet? And how in the world could it be that the smartest people in the room figure out that this was going to happen? No valet parking? Heck, plenty of illegal aliens to hire to run the valet service.

Tina Trent म्हणाले...

Ha. Is there a tape of the event yet? Can we see how Biden does, cognitively?

Meh. Stage craft. They aren’t really ‘confronting’ them. They are on the same side and this gets the press off the hook….

I hear Spielberg will still be directing the hard left’s new election saga.

Sure, protesters, right. No they are all allies, fellow travelers. Next year they'll trade places. Notice, none of the attendees were touched, spat on ,or had that filthy rag of a flag shoved in their faces. Propaganda performance art, i.e, bullshit. How unfortunate that there wasn't any tear gas available. Or several sticks of northern white ash.

Lucien म्हणाले...

I think it's better to refer to these groups as Pro-Hamas. There's a war on between Israel and Hamas: which side do you think these people want to see win?

Leland म्हणाले...

They are hardly the first, but yeah, I might say nothing while they eat their own.

RCOCEAN II म्हणाले...

Good. Glad someone is protesting Israel's murderous actions toward an oppressed people. If anyone else was killing 30,000 brown people, we'd hear cries of "Nazi" and "Racist". But because its Israel, everyone acts like its OK.

Spiros म्हणाले...

The Right hates the media because it presents one-sided analysis as news and has substituted bias for objectivity. The Right sees these people as propagandists, not journalists.

But the protesters don't care about the press's lack of freedom. They are scummy racists (and anti-Semites). Imagine the following situation -- a Native American (or Muslim or Black) gunman opens fire at a US grammar school and targets only White (or Jewish) children? Pretty sh*tty right? Wrong! These protesters think it's okay because "we" have to take the war to the "genocidal colonizers." These guys are really asking for trouble...

Not unlike the two other people in the comments, when I watched this short clip the first time, all I noticed where the chests of those two woman. Talk about B-List celebrities! I didn't recognize any of these clowns, but since I don't watch TV or any cable news, I suppose I wouldn't.
At the moment, catching up on "Derry Girls" on Netflix. Even with my daughter's recommendations a few years ago, I didn't have access to Netflix because the offerings did not justify the monthly fee. The reason "Netflix and Chill" came about was that you wound up having sex because nothing on Netflix was worth watching. Anyway, I have been having some LOL moments during each of the three episodes I have watched.
The upstairs widow from Northern Ireland MIGHT enjoy it but she impresses me as the type that the inappropriate-type humor and profanity and disrespect for the Catholic Church might turn her off

Oh, I don't know, the Syrian government is up over half a million brown people killed. So far.

The Chinese government has imprisoned between one and two million Uyghurs, sterilizing a bunch of them, which is actually genocidal.

I suppose the tens of thousands of Muslims killed in Africa are predominantly black, not brown, but I still think it counts.

But because its Israel, everyone acts like its OK.

"Everyone" is doing a lot of work in this sentence. So is "OK."

Wince म्हणाले...

Reminds me of a cantankerous old Boston Brahmin woman who paid for full access to a John Kerry for Senate celebrity fundraiser. She used the opportunity to taunt him mercilessly, must be close to 30 years ago now.

As women left the reception and passed her on the way to get to their seats she stood there and exclaimed, "they dress like a bunch of whores, no wonder they get raped!"

Good times.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

"The man in the suit at the end of the group needs to read the thread about fitting a man's jacket."

Ooh. Yes. He's very far gone.

Am I the only one who feels it's just bad for women in evening dresses not to be accompanied by a man (or another woman) who at least looks like he (or she) can protect her? The women look so vulnerable. Even if they are not in any real danger, it looks so wrong to be dressed like that and exposed.

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

None of those clothes looked like they fit particularly well.

As if any of those guys could protect any of the women from anything more threatening than a mean tweet.

Dave Begley म्हणाले...

Ann:

They were all idiots not to expect that and not plan for that. Do those people not watch the news? Don’t they know about the blocked bridges and roads?

The ladies don't look very elegant clomping along on an uneven street in their slutty heels...they look like clydesdales.

And yes, the men should be next to them (on the curb side if on the sidewalk)...

Lady in Black.....ooh la la!

Laughing Fox म्हणाले...

I’m not in favor of having any people “run the gauntlet” when they attend an event. It looks to me like poor policing to have one crowd of people actually surrounded by two crowds of people who are protesting against them. Not just this protest; any protest can quickly get out of hand. What’s wrong with protesting across the street?
(Maybe too much work for the police, or two little virtue-signallying for the city authorities?)

Since they danced on 9/11 I'm OK with it ( asif that were actually true-the 30,000). Something tells me that if Europeans did what you alleged to the alleged victims you are crocodile tearing about you would be OK with that to.

I note the Correspondents Dinner guests in video blissfully ignore the protesters. Seems they're color-coordinated, freshly coiffed, determined to ignore the riffraff, enjoying their special status as "The Anointed Ones", invited to White House to dine with their fearless leader.

Think this succinctly reflects media's disinterest in political issues beyond kowtowing to the official party-line issued by Biden White House and national Democratic Party.

I’m not in favor of having anybody “run the gauntlet.” I never knew anybody’s mind changed that way. I especially don’t like a situation ini which one group must walk between two lines of a hostile or even just “protesting” group. It’s poor policing, as just one dummy on either side can start a real big problem.
Why was it set up this way? Police shortage or lack of energy? Lack of planning or desire to virtue signal on the part of the civic authorities/ (“We are so supportive of the First Amendment!”)

As for the two groups, they are the same, but perhaps at different stages of their life cycles.

Formal dress indicates woman's indifference to truth, which she herself becomes. She needs a smitten guy to protect her from an unsmitten male-truth guy.

Older women see it as the modest concealing of a pudendum and nothing more.

For which see Derrida _Spurs_ a pleasant and very short (thin, facing English and French pages) book.

LLR-democratical Rich: "Palestinians cheered and supported the attacks on Oct 7th but don't like the retribution from Israel. Students from Ivy League schools blame everyone but Hamas. I think the Palestinians might know who’s responsible for ruining their lives"

The islamic supremacist arabs (sorry, not "Palestinians") know perfectly well the New Soviet Democraticals are working overtime to "Color Revolution" Israel and deliver a tactical and permanent strategic victories to their islamist supremacist allies.

Particularly thru the moronic ICC.

That's just one reason dementia boy, under obama continuing directives, cancelled Trump's executive order that would sanction ICC personnel if they act against US or its allies.

remember the war in The Ukraine? me neither.. Apparently, there used to be a war there..
people here repeatedly said, that Killing Russians was The Highest Form of Goodness; and that,
WE had to win this war..
Back in the day, gilbar said: IF this war is So Important; what happens WHEN we lose, like WE Always do?

Oh Look! i DID find Some Reports about this "war" that *WE* HAD TO Win..
Ukraine Situation Report: M1 Abrams Tanks Withdrawn From The Fight, Officials Say
After at least five losses from a fleet of 31, Ukrainian Abrams tanks have been temporarily withdrawn from operations, according to reports.
Reports suggest that Ukraine has withdrawn its U.S.-supplied M1 Abrams tanks from frontline operations — for the time being, at least. It’s said that the reason for the move is their vulnerability to drone attacks..

“The advance of Russian forces west of Avdiivka, Donetsk Oblast, has accelerated within the past week,” the U.K. Ministry of Defense stated in a recent intelligence update.

The Situation on the Southeastern Frontline of Ukraine has apparently gone from Bad to Worse, with a Partial Collapse of Ukrainian Defensive Lines reported to have occurred Overnight in the Donetsk Region after a Heavy Assault by Russian Mechanized Forces..

Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu has said Russia is ready to expand military and technical cooperation with Iran, Reuters reported, citing Russia’s state-run RIA news agency. Shoigu said this after meeting his Iranian counterpart Gharaei Ashtiani today and he also confirmed that contacts between the two countries’ armed forces have increased significantly recently.

I'm SURE GLAD, that *WE* picked THIS Hill to die on

today's Fun Facts:
Dr. Eli David
@DrEliDavid
How many Arabs lived in “Palestine” before the establishment of the State of Israel ����?


A list of facts with historical sources:

��In 1785, Constantine Francois Volney describes the "ruined" and "desolate" state of the country: "We with difficulty recognized Jerusalem... The population is supposed to amount to twelve to fourteen thousands..."

��In 1843, Alexander Keith wrote that "in this [Volney's] day the land had not fully reached its last prophetic degree of desolation and depopulation."

��In 1816, J.S. Buckingham had described Jaffa as "a poor village", and Ramleh as a place "where, as throughout the greater portion of Palestine, the ruined portion seemed more extensive than that which was inhabited."

��In 1835, Alphonse de Lamartine gave this description: "Outside gates of Jerusalem, we saw indeed no living object, heard no living sound. We found the same void, the same silence as we should have found in the enrombed gates of Pompeii and Herculaneum... a complete, eternal silence resigns in the town, in the highways, in the country... The tomb of a whole people."

��In 1857, the British consul in Palestine, James Finn, reported back to England: "The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is that of a body of population."

��In 1867, Mark Twain wrote in The Innocents Abroad: "Stirring senses... occur in this valley no more. There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent – not for thirty miles in either direction." He goes on to describe Galilee, Judea, and around Jerusalem as deserts devoid of population. And for the country as a whole: "Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that has withered its fields and fettered its energies... Palestine is desolate and unlovely... It is hopeless, dreary, heartbroken land."

��In 1881 (the year designated by Arafat as the beginning of the Zionist "invasion" and "displacement" of the local population), English cartographer Arthur Penrhyn Stanley wrote: "In Judea it is hardly an exaggeration to say that for miles and miles there was no appearance of life or habitation."

��By the third quarter of the 19th century, the total population of the entire country, Arabs and Jews, was only 400,000. Less than 3% of today's figure.

I’ve watched this video several times.
1. (In my opinion) these people walked to the event as they’ve done in previous years, not realizing there would be a long gauntlet ahead of them. That’s the only way I can make sense of the video.
2. Although the crowd was boisterous, it was rather well behaved.
3. That Palestinian flag made another appearance. What has surprised me is that throughout all these demonstrations the size of that flag has never changed. Which makes me think these demonstrations are rather strictly organized and supplied. Anyway I went to Etsy to see if there are any other kinds of Palestinian flags available. Yes there are. There are little flags you can hang from your garden stake, macrame flags, and flags made from beads or paper butterflies. Also watermelons. There are black baseball caps with slices of watermelon. I didn’t know watermelons are a Palestinian symbol. So it was interesting when I saw a watermelon kippah: “Join your fellow anti-Zionist Jewish family in declaring not in our name in a bright, vibrant way. Show your faith and your solidarity with Palestine all at once when wearing this watermelon kipa” One of the buyers comments: “Gift and arrived on exact day it was needed. Now he won't take it off!”
4. Is the simulation just making fun of us now?

Drago म्हणाले...

Interesting observation: in the same way pallets of bricks appeared out of nowhere at all the 2020 BLM "totally organic" riots, now we have the strange and "organic" phenomenon of all the leftist/democrat pro-terrorist hamas tent cities across the nation utilizing the very same tents!

@gilbar:

You don't understand.

3 million Amerinds were scattered across 9.5 million square miles of North America when the European settlers arrived, giving each Indian "ownership"of a 3+ square miles whether anyone lived there or not.

So....if even ONE Arab lived in what is now Palestine, he owned the entire region!

It's Palestinian math!
