If there's one thing that Socialists can be relied on it's to be on the wrong side of every issue that pops up in the news. This holds true today as well as any other as the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America prepares to hold a rally in solidarity with the Palestinian terrorists who have been parading bodies through the streets of Israel and wantonly killing civilians for the last day and a half.
NYC-DSA (@nycDSA) ~ Tomorrow, October 8, at 1PM. Times Square.
In solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to resist 75 years of occupation and apartheid.
FREE PALESTINE!
The People's Forum (@PeoplesForumNYC) ~ NEW YORK CITY: ALL OUT FOR PALESTINE!!!
🚨 1PM, Sunday Oct 8 | Times Square, Broadway & 42nd
Tomorrow, join us to stand with the people of Palestine, who have the right to resist apartheid, occupation & oppression.
FREE PALESTINE!
NYC-DSA isn't some small fringe group with no power either, as Ryan James Girdusky reminds us; they're a group with real power in the New York political scene:
Ryan James Girdusky (@RyanGirdusky) ~ Reminder: AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, and Jamaal Bowman are all affiliated with the DSA.
Queens Councilwoman Vickie Paladino goes into greater detail here on the power and membership of the group ...
Councilwoman Vickie Paladino (@VickieforNYC) ~ With horrifying images of murdered women & children still streaming in, the DSA are planning a protest in support of the terrorists responsible for these ongoing atrocities.
Mind you, this is not some fringe group in New York -- the DSA put @AOC into office; arguably the most prominent Democrat in the country. Several Democratic council members owe their seats directly to DSA activism and support. Assembly and State Senate too. The DSA is closely allied with the Working Families Party, who back a SIGNIFICANT number of 'mainstream' Democrats in our city and state government. This cannot be ignored.
The fact that a seriously influential Democrat-aligned political organization in New York City could be openly supporting a monstrous anti-semitic terrorist group waging a barbaric open war against Jewish civilians is unthinkable and unacceptable.
Mind you, these are the same people who will lecture us endlessly about 'democracy' and 'violence'.
I certainly hope ALL of our colleagues in government can join together now and completely disavow the DSA and the WFP immediately. They have no place in our politics or in our city.
And if they do not, let every single voter now understand exactly who these people really align themselves with, and let them pay the price accordingly. The line must be drawn here.
But surely this all is intended to be a peaceful protest, right? Yeah, about that ...
NYC-DSA (@nycDSA) ~
We're certain that they're encouraging their members to 'wear a mask', 'don't post pictures' and to never 'discuss stuff that may or may not have happened' during the protest because they plan to hold a big peaceful kumbaya rally, holding hands and singing protest songs or whatever.
Christina Hoff Sommers (@CHSommers) ~ Socialists in solidarity with barbarism. Great.
The Jorster (@jorster) ~ Move there and fight with them you cowards.
Put their money where their mouth is? They'd never!
Magills (@magills_) ~ Which of the rapes/murders/kidnappings of civilians in Israel, today, do you feel you have the most solidarity with?
Cecelia (@Ceceliaism) ~ I hope every stereo system within ten city blocks starts blasting the Dreidel Song at full volume on infinite repeat while you're there.

Someone with the know-how to make this happen could likely make a fortune selling tickets to watch that!
Zach Schofel (@zachschofel) ~ Gross - you are all horrible people.
And they don't even seem interested in hiding it.
So if you should find yourself in the New York City area today around 1 PM maybe don't make your way to Times Square. Unless you want to see a typical Democratic 'mostly peaceful protest' in action, that is.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
