Dear Friends,
Our Palestine Peace Rally is now uploaded to Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1zIemIvSNc&t=50s
There are not only several great informative speeches from students, activists, professors, a former U.N. worker, and voices from across the Middle East, but it also has become important for another reason.
As you may or may not know, dangerous false rumors of “hate speech” at our Palestine Protests have been circulating in Fayetteville and beyond. These rumors made their way all the way to the top of Fayetteville City Government. Video of our rally has been forwarded to Mayor Lioneld Jordan to stop these rumors.
On a similar note, the powerful Israel Lobby group Anti-Defamation League has published a nationally syndicated report on a “400 percent increase in antisemitic incidents.” Along with scores of other Palestine Protests, ADL cited our previous Oct. 22 protest as “Anti-Israel Rallies w. Support for Terror.” (Map embedded):

This video serves as hard proof that there was no “hate speech” or “antisemitism” at our event. Quite the opposite, in fact, as multiple speakers explicitly rejected antisemitism and expressed a whole lot of love. Please urge anyone spreading false rumors to watch the video and see that we are all driven by love for humankind and a desire for peace and justice for Palestine and everyone else too.
Sincerely,
