Behold this latest abomination – a flashmob coordinated by anti-Israel “activists” representing CODEPINK Women for Peace, American Friends Service Committee, US Boat to Gaza, Students for Justice in Palestine, Queers Undoing Israeli Terror and Don’t Buy Into Apartheid.
Out of tune singing? Check
Out of synch singing? Check
Something passing for dancing? Check
Expressing support for Iran? Check
Butch woman impersonating a robot? Check
Old codger in a trench coat banging a rod against his hand? Check
Multiple arrests? Check
Drunk cameraman? Quite possibly
All in all, another group of pricks in a hall.
Love your commentary!
Pathetic bunch..lol…they dont convince anyone
I'm curious what would happen to a group of women dancing like that in Gaza
I dont know whether to laugh or cry. Are they serious?
What worries me is this crap is getting more and more common. We cant just laugh it off every time.
This is the worst one yet! You may not need no education, but you sure could use some singing and dancing lessons.
Hey Jim from Iowa, looks like you need some education. "You may not need no education…". That is priceless!
Take it up with Pink Floyd.
seems that at the last moment, they decided to change the words
at the end of the vid, you can hear the original words, "hey, aipac, leave congress alone"…not "leave iran alone"
I recently went to an AIPAC dinner. Inspirational.
Arrested were:
Noura Khouri, American Friends Service Committee
Valerie Ortiz, student at UC Santa Cruz,
Leslie Angeline, San Francisco, an airplant from Code Pink
Martha Hubert, San Francisco, also from Code Pink
Gene St. Onge, Oakland Gaza Flotilla
Janet Kobren, Oakland, also Gaza Flotilla
Peter Tscherneff, Santa Rosa – a card carrying member of the tin foil hat brigade.
I believe thats Brain malovany of the International Solidarity Movement lurking in the back. Its a who's who of haters
This must be a joke, no one can be as stupid as these people. They can't be serious.
Maybe they were just late for Halloween.
Oh, no! The same team that brought you this travesty is coming to Washington:
Flash mobs enable the use of pop culture and social networks to promote a message or campaign in a way that is easily accessible, especially to the young generation. This is a great complement to traditional forms of protest, and anyone can do it.
Save the date and consider bringing your flash mob skills to Washington, DC, for a national protest outside the Annual AIPAC Conference, May 22-24. Email [email protected] for details — on what could be the biggest flash mob of 2011!
As the people of Egypt, Tunisia, and Yemen demonstrate that grassroots teamwork can have an impact, let us continue working together creatively and energetically to end corporate support for Israel's illegal military occupation and apartheid policies toward Palestinians.
Here's to more creative BDS actions in 2011!
Yours,
Anna Baltzer
