Israel Matzav: My home town's terror connection

My home town's terror connection

Back in January, I did a post about a parlor party in my home town, Newton, Massachusetts (I lived there from ages 7-17 and my parents lived there until 1999), for terror-enabling Code Pink. Unfortunately, it took two months for Newton resident Kerry Hurwitz to get the local newspaper to publish this article warning Newton residents of the terror supporters in their midst. But it's worth reading, especially because the town in question could be yours. Here's how Kerry describes some of Code Pink's activities in the Boston area:

Every single one of the [Gaza Freedom] march’s organizers, including its “official sponsor” Code Pink, wants to abolish the State of Israel and thereby subject its inhabitants to a regime which officially supports the genocide of the Jewish people. This aim is so horrible that it boggles the mind — it’s almost impossible to believe anyone would actually want this. But these groups do, although they disguise it in terms like “binational state” (where Jews would soon be a minority among peoples who voted into power the genocidal and totalitarian Hamas and the equally genocidal though slightly less totalitarian Palestinian Authority) and “right of return,” which would permit each and every one the 4 million descendants of almost any Arab who left Israel or the West Bank for any reason after 1948, most of whom have no connection to the area at all, to not only become citizens but to expropriate land, buildings and businesses from Jewish and Christian Israelis. (About 6 million Jews and 1.5 million Arabs currently live in Israel.)

In addition to proposing the destruction of the only democracy in the Middle East and a “peace plan” that could lead to a second Holocaust, Code Pink is unabashedly anti-Semitic. They organized last October’s anti-Israel demonstration in Brookline, when protestors deliberately routed their march past synagogues on a Shabbat and Jewish High Holy Day in an area they knew contained many elderly Holocaust survivors. Signs at recent Code Pink demonstrations urged “America Stop Fighting for the Jew” and “Victory to Hamas” and featured Hamas flags. And when asked whether they were concerned about Hamas’ sponsorship of the Gaza Freedom March, both a participant and a pastor who had raised money for the event replied “no” (this occurred in a church, no less, St. Peter’s Episcopal in Cambridge).

Until Code Pink got involved with the Gaza Freedom March, I thought they were strictly focused on domestic (US) issues and I paid them very little attention. But what we see in Code Pink is something we are seeing throughout the US and Europe: The alliance between the radical Left and radical Islam. If we don't fight against it, it will destroy our homes, our countries and our values.

Read the whole thing.

The map at the top superimposes a map of the Boston area on the range of Hamas missiles coming from Gaza. I wonder whether it would matter to these people if they were in missile range like we are. Or perhaps, they are so enamored of their own rhetoric that they are simply suicidal.
