'Radical' pro-Palestinian groups increasingly target houses of worship for protests in alarming trend
The pro-Palestinian movement has recently taken to protesting at houses of worship, sparking outrage and accusations of exemplifying targeted harassment and intimidation, with some critics saying they're trying to scare children.
In the last two weeks, there were at least three protests staged at houses of worship in the tri-state area.
After thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered in Times Square for "Palestinian Land Day," some took their protest to the Easter Vigil service at St. Patrick's cathedral in New York City on Saturday evening.
During the service, chants of "Free, free Palestine" could be heard ringing out. The protesters were quickly taken out of the service moments after, and many in attendance did not acknowledge the outburst.
Video footage showed "Extinction Rebellion" protesters displaying a banner with the words "Silence = Death" at the front of the church.
Other protests – also organized by pro-Palestinian groups – have targeted synagogues. One was a Monday event at Congregation Bnai Yeshurun in Teaneck, New Jersey, honoring a volunteer from ZAKA, an organization that collects body parts of terror victims to provide them with a respectful burial.
The honoree, Simcha Greiniman, testified about the Oct. 7 atrocities he witnessed at the United Nations.
"We’d walk into a room full of blood and see no sign of shooting or bombing. There, Hamas terrorists didn’t use a gun to kill their victims, they used an axe to chop them into pieces," said Greiniman about what he witnessed.
Pro-Palestinian organizations claimed ZAKA bolsters "false claims that fuel Gaza genocide." ...............

Extinction Rebellion? I thought their shtick was climate change.
But hey, nobody ever accused those clowns of moral consistency.
