This is Washington, DC, in the age of Barack Obama. And since the political winds don’t look as if they’re going to shift anytime soon, this is a glimpse of America’s future.
“Pro-Palestinian Tries to Light Counter-Protestor’s Israeli Flag on Fire at Massive DC March,” by Jarrett Stepman and Inez Feltscher, Breitbart News, August 2, 2014:
On Saturday, a massive pro-Palestine and anti-Israel protest took place in Washington D.C. in front of the White House. The crowd, which numbered around 10,000 according to a DC police officer, shouted chants of “free, free Palestine,” “end the genocide,” and had a number of speakers appear, including left-wing professor Cornell West.
A group of pro-Israel protestors showed up — and were encircled by police with barricades. The crowd shouted at the group and blew blowhorns in their direction. The pro-Israeli group had to be escorted out of the crowd in police vans.
One pro-Israel protestor showed up on the other side of the crowd, alone, with an Israel flag in one hand and an an American flag in the other.
The pro-Palestine protestors grew belligerent — shouting slogans at him, giving him the middle finger. One tried to light his Israeli flag on fire.
But Manny Vega, an undeterred retired U.S. Marine and Iraq War veteran, spoke to Breitbart News about the incident.
“What brought me out here is this sort of anti-Israel atmosphere that this administration is holding over the United States,” Vega told Breitbart News. “I want to show the Israeli people there are American people in our nation that support the state of Israel… And that is why am standing here with an American flag on my right hand, and Israeli flag on my left hand, in a show of solidarity with the Israeli people.”
Vega argued with one pro-Palestine protestor, who said that the State of Israel had no right to exist and would not shake Vega’s hand.
“Israelis love life; they can coexist with other nations and they have since 1948. Israel has extended a hand to shake, but they shake it and go back to fight,” Vega reportedly told the protestor.
When asked if he was concerned about the protestors turning violent, Vega said:
“Hey, I’m not going to be pushed out of here… If I was in Palestine, my throat my throat would be slit, but I’m in front of the White House. This is America, and I have every right to be here with the American flag, and the Israeli flag as a counter protest to the ‘Free Gaza, Anti-Occupation’ protest here. And pro-Hamas.”
Breitbart News asked Vega if he had any concerns about immersing himself into a hostile crowd.
“I have no fear, Vega said. “I’m not going to get stabbed, or lit on fire, but they tried to light my flag on fire.”
The waves of pro-Palestine demonstrators continued to protest throughout the city, shutting down 15th street.
Richie says
The west needs to wake the Hell up- most of these thuggish Muslims on our shores are immigrants. If they are aggressive and use vioence and intimidation, deport them !!!
I think the reason Obama wants to open the floodgates and let illiegal immigrants into the US is because he wants Muslims to flood into the country
Kathy says
I agree with Richie. The goal seems to be to take control by sheer numbers. If anyone has any doubt about Obama’s loyalties (and those of his administration as well as the State Department), it is time to wake up.
Jovial Joe says
All those Allahu akbars must have made Obama feel at home if nothing else.
Diane Harvey says
“[Former USMC] Vega argued with one pro-Palestine protestor”
There’s your problem. Arguing with these rabid Muslims. These Muslims, particularly those who come out for these hate-fests, are mentally unglued.
To think that you are going to change, in a matter of minutes, the attitudes of some Muslim who’s been inculcated in the Islam cult for years and years is just preposterous.
A little wisdom and discernment would go a long way.
Judi says
They are like a pack of hungry wolves stalking their prey. Notice how the bullies gang up on one brave man.
somehistory says
Question: Was the one guy saying again and again (to the Marine with the flags), “Don’t instigate, don’t instigate?”
And others telling the police to “get him out of here” and did one say “he has no right to be here”? Or is my hearing through the mob sounds just imagining? Anyone clearly understand what the crowds were shouting?
Jay Boo says
What kind of people are at these protests
In Boston they held their recent Anti-Israel Palestine Protest and shouted Allahu akbar “Allah is greatest!” at the spot where the victims of the Boston bomb attack were maimed and murdered.
This is the kind of people we are dealing with.
We must fully understand that they have absolutely no shame.
Januk36 says
He wouldn’t have survived in today’s France. Won’t speculate about his fate if he pulled of that stunt in Germany.
Myxlplik says
I heard the Muslims shouting, “TAKFIR!”, then in reply, ” Allah Akbar”.
I thought takfir was essentially a term referring to excommunication from Islam. I don’t understand why they would shout takfir in this instance. Seems it is an Islamic battle cry for the installation of a strict form of sharia being bellowed loudly right in front of the White House, am I wrong? They are calling for the overthrow of our Constitution right in the heart of our capital.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
I don’t understand why they would shout takfir in this instance.
Don’t forget that a foundational tenet of Islam is that we’re all born Moslem. Islam in its quintessence is a corrective belief system, based on the notion that the Jews and then the Christians botched what was handed down to them by Yahweh.
So god changed his personal name to Allah and the rest is mystery, er, history.
History was made in a small way yesterday with this open pro-Jihad rally in front of the White House. I’m sure Prez Barack Hussein nodded with satisfaction, and why not? After all, he made the apology speech to them in Cairo, and he’s steadfastly supported the Mo-Bro-Hood since.

…….When in reality it is simply the enemy of God, the devil trying to besmirch the true God of the Holy Bible and of the Jews and Christians by creating a “religion” and producing a counterfit god in the name of “allah”.

AMEN – “the LORD GOD” wrote in His Holy Word for those that follow false ‘gods’:
–
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
(Heb 10:31 – KJV)
kangi_nunpa says
They were saying “takbir” – the command to say “Allahusnackbar.” Sounds like Takfir, but isn’t. The root K-B-R indicates bigness, so it’s similar to ‘magnify!’
Myxlplik says
Thank you so much kangi_nunpa. Knowledge is power :).
BlueRaven says
Non of these a$$ clown Pro-Palis have guts like Vega, who stood proud in the middle of the potential savages, holding American and Israeli flags. They outnumbered him 10000 to 1. It is disgusting that Obama administration is welcoming these goon savages into the States.
Bro. Nick says
Thank “the LORD GOD” for one man who is willing to stand for Biblical principals and show his support for ISRAEL. The word of the LORD GOD is eternally true:
1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
(Gen 12:1-3 – KJV)

‘Amerika had better wake up, for it is written:
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
(Matt 12:25-26 – KJV)
the vilest of creatures says
Aren’t the words “left wing professor” redundant?
kind of like “crazy psychopath”
“wet water”
“dry desert”
“stupid idiot”
“radical Islam”
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Aren’t the words “left wing professor” redundant?
Yes.
Although I prefer the more explicative term “globo-socialist professor.”
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
This Manny Vega dude has a lotta nerve. It’s one thing for him to understand reality, that’s fine and good, but it’s a whole different ballgame to carry the flags of the two soon-to-be former allies, especially in the face of Moslems, who don’t put up with the provactive bullcrap of dissenting with them.
Jerry says
It is easy to determine who is bent on committing genocide:
Carefully read Article Seven of the “Hamas Covenant”
(English translation at http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp)
as also read with Article Five thereof.
and and then compare with the Israeli Declaration of Independence
(English translation at http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/israel.asp)
It is clear who is bent on genocide, not only against all Israeli Jews but against all Jews of this planet.
mary_gonzales says
Just wait and see..many cities in the west will look like islamabad.. no people to be blamed over that, it’s the risk to bring them home..west government love them so much, even give the strategic government job for. This is not my theory : It is forbidden for muslim to led by infidels, thats the way they will find all the trick to gain the power.. and when it’s happened, i suggest start to pack and leave.. and the leftist will regret for supporting them, it’s too late for it..leftist in fact are infidels.

President Obama decided to spend most of the weekend out of town playing golf and relaxing at Camp David with some friends in celebration of his 53rd birthday (which is actually tomorrow, Aug. 4). Too bad he missed the big gathering going on just outside the White House on Saturday. It seems likely there will be other bigger gatherings coming up sometime in the near future though…. and perhaps we will all join in.
Xukpi says
“Anywhere the muslim goes they break up and divide societies.” Well said. Islam is a pall over any and all societies that it’s allowed to come into contact with. Wherever they are there is trouble; ask the Chinese. The Japanese are currently being more pc by trying to bring muslims to Japan to visit; but http://www.japancrush.com/2014/stories/foreigner-arrested-for-smashing-statues-of-buddha-at-sensoji.html. The Dutch skyline is changing with all the minarets popping up. And on, and on, and on.
It is a shadow religion that has fused Judeo-Christian beliefs and their own brand of corrupt ideology and called it a religion, a tolerant one nonetheless! “The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer” the president stated. Not as sweet as the last chant before detonation!
The religion of peace, pff!
Daniel Triplett says
10,000 Satanists spewing their evil hatred in front of the White House?!? And against only a handful of opposition?
My God, what an alarming disgrace.
FDR would have them and every other American Muslim in Internment Camps by now, making apostasy a condition of release. Then he’d use nukes to bring the World’s Muslims to their knees by the end of the week. Neither he nor Churchill would put up with this. They’d get it.
Instead, we have the Devil’s demon strategically positioned in the most powerful post on Earth, holding every one of hostage to Islam’s wrath.
Dumbledoresarmy posted info about a similar Islamic/anti-Israel rally in Sydney with 5000 possessed Muslims. But down-under, they were confronted by 10,000 strong Aussie supporters of Freedom, unlike the single brave US Marine who had to confront those jihadists alone. Where was his backup?
Next time this happens, we need to roll-in 20,000 or 30,000 strong, just like our Aussie Brothers did.
I wonder how all those jihadists spread the word. How did they all know when and where to show up? Twitter? YouTube?
We’d best all educate ourselves real quick on how to use modern technologies and organize action against Satan’s scourge. Surely we could get tens of thousands to join a show of force if we could just get the word out. Many Americans know what’s at stake.
Most Americans just haven’t heard of Jihad Watch yet. I didn’t learn about Jihad Watch myself until our friend Miriam Rove taught me about Robert Spencer when we met on Twitter last year, even though I’d been active in the Counterjihad already for 19 years prior.
We should all be using Twitter also to bring people all over the World to JW, Pamela’s site, and thereligionofpeace.com.
pumbar says
I do; but I use Youtube and Google+.
Daniel Triplett says
Excellent pumbar. What’s Google+? I have much to learn. Is that a social networking thing?
TMI says
This will quickly turn into another Mosul within years. With millions having poured into the country since Obama’s unwanted presidency and a constant flow of illegals through the Mexican border, many changing their names to Spanish ones, – again, under Obama’s careless watch – we are witnessing a ticking time bomb.
TMI says
I was shocked to see that Al Jazeera acquired top viewer rank in California. But articles are only focused on low viewer numbers in other states.
I would not be surprised if a lot of distorted news is influencing people’s opinions especially on the Palestine-Israel conflict through this Qatar terror funded and owned media outlet. Al Jazeera constantly operates from an Arab propaganda perspective with no objective viewpoint at all. Al Jazeera Journalists accused of being Muslim Brotherhood propaganda pieces, makes it’s pretty scary that it’s been allowed to operate in the U.S. at all.
Described in perfect Caliphate terms, “Al Jazeera’s strategy are to be believed, the network is less concerned with short-term ratings than it is with building and maintaining a sustainable American presence”
This is all got to end.
Cindy says
This makes me sick. If they are do brazen to protest and try to start fights right in front of the police and the white house. What am I saying their best bud lives in the white house. I’m surprised the president didn’t come out and take the side of the enemy. He loves the enemy and hates the American people.
Barnabas says
Hats off to the lone retired U.S. Marine!! Holding the American flag in one hand the Israelis flag in the other.One Man standing against 10000…!!!
Hoekom Jy My Haat says
Look at this typical pro-Hamas Palestinian video from Florida.
Geppetto says
Sooner or later these Islamist thugs will have to be confronted. They use threats of violence and act on those threats when their verbal assaults don’t sufficiently intimidate their adversaries or when they need to satisfy their inculcated blood lust. Talking with these bastards as if they’re expected to react to reason and common sense is a fools approach. Want evidence? Look at what 60+ years of “negotiating” and 10+ years of conducting feckless military operations designed to win the Hearts and Minds, has led to; thousands of American lives, tens of thousands wounded or maimed and hundreds of billions of dollars……..and for what? To achieve victories over an enemy that has yet to be understood. Whatever the good intentions, to this day Islam has never been defined as the enemy and neither the war in Iraq or Afghanistan can realistically be declared a victory much less worth the effort. The Middle East is coming apart at the seams as a new Caliphate emerges on ground allied troops fought and died for in an effort to establish what the intelligentsia “knew for certain” all of humanity inherently desires………western ideals and freedoms. Just as they know for certain that the Palestinians sincerely desire a two state solution with Israel. The result? An abysmal failure to accurately assess the nature or motives of the enemy, the latter still an elusive entity despite the decades of insolence, violence, brutality and the recent ascendance of IS, the Caliphate, a purportedly more violent and more dangerous version of Al Qaeda proudly and openly dedicated to committing the stonings, amputations, decapitations, crucifixions, hangings, etc. as required under Sharia (Islamic) law.
In the minds of this enemy, that continues to baffle and elude us, how could it be otherwise? Orthodox Islamists in the west proudly express their love of death over life because they are convinced they’re in no danger of losing it in a war against western civilization which they perceive as weak and inferior in all respects. There will come a time when they will have to be disabused of that notion by facing the glorious death they so fervently pray for. It may eventually dawn on the west that we need to give them that which they so brazenly proclaim they desire. This will only come when the west steps away from its politically correct, multiculturalist, willfully blind, rose colored views and accurately defines the nature of the enemy and its ancient, violent, theocratic motivations; their intent, as “superior human beings,” to eventually rule a world universally adherent to Sharia law.
The west needs to awake from this stupor and soon.
