Geee Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Washington Examiner Demonstrators at an event held for International Quds Day shouted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” in Dearborn, Michigan, this weekend. International Quds Day is held to support Gaza and oppose Israel’s “occupation” of areas considered by the day’s demonstrators to be Palestinian territories. Dearborn, part of Michigan’s 12th Congressional District, is represented in Congress by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), the only Palestinian American member of Congress and likely also the staunchest supporter of Gaza among both chambers. “Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Al-Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America,” Tarek Bazzi, a local activist, said on Friday in a video shared by the Middle East Media Research Institute. The video appears to cut for a moment before chants of “Death to America” ring out in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geee Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Not surprising as this is one of the largest muslim communities in the US. If memory serves, this is also the district that was dancing in the streets after 9/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
