Live-streaming from Zionist “anti-Semitism” rally in front of the US Capitol twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

At today's pro-Israel rally masked as rally against antisemitism, I met a guy in a "Kahane was right" repping the racist demagogue.

Asked if anyone at the rally expressed concern over the fascist symbol, he replied, "Not one."

(Sorry, audio from stream was fatally out of sync)

This older white man insisted he was indigenous to the land of Palestine ("Judea and Samaria") and said it was antisemitic to say otherwise.

And like others I spoke to, he conceded that American Jews today face no institutional discrimination or barriers to achievement.

"If you're anti-Israel, you're antisemitic," was the talking point of the day. And according to this guy, if you're Palestinian, you should go to Jordan or get a "green card" if you want to continue to live in historic Palestine.

"Zionism is de-colonization," this demonstrator insisted, as he denounced "Islamic imperialism"

A lone counter-protester had his sign reading "Fuck Your Settler Colonialism" snatched by a biblical re-enactor and ripped up by a speaker near the stage as security physically forced him away

Listen to the touching speech taking place as I entered the rally
