At an International Quds Day rally in Dearborn, Mich., organized by the Al-Quds Committee, several speakers promoted violence against Israel.

According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) report, the rally took place on April 29 and was streamed live on the Dearborn.org Facebook page.

The rally moderator called for a “noble, honorable [and] brave armed resistance” in Palestine and for its “complete liberation.”

Michigan author Fatima Najdi recited a poem about how she could see the “quivering fear” of the “cancerous entity” that is Israel and hear the “final rasping breath of those Zionists.”

“When Tel Aviv is razed to that ground, ‘never to humiliation!’ we will shout,” she exclaimed.

The rally moderator said: “The Zionists can admit that there is no two-state solution. Why can’t some of us? What’s left? Peaceful protests? Again, we have some people who want to remain acceptable in the mainstream. They want to look like moderates. They are afraid of being labeled as extremists, so they dissociate themselves from the noble, the honorable, the brave armed Palestinian resistance.”

“The only solution for our brothers and sisters in Palestine is armed resistance—and we support that, and we are with that, in our hearts and in our entire beings,” said the moderator.

“Using public funds and benefits to discriminate against religious schools is unconstitutional—period,” said Nathan Diament, of the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center.
Reza Dindar is accused of using a China-based front company to procure U.S. goods and illegally route them to Iran in violation of export controls.
“The results in Iran will be amazing,” the U.S. president wrote. “And if Iran’s new leaders are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future.”
The U.S.-led forum focused on how to “effectively disrupt and deter Iran’s terrorist plots and other illicit schemes,” the U.S. State Department said.
“People have every right to protest, but what’s happening here goes beyond that,” Regina Sassoon Friedland, of the American Jewish Committee, told JNS. “The Jewish people will not be intimidated to halt our events and activities.”
“The people remember. The people salute. The people are deeply grateful to the sons and daughters, thanks to whom our existence is assured,” the prime minister said.
