Debbie Schlussel: Here's a Taste of the Pro-HAMAS/Hezbo Rally in Detroit; UPDATE: Link Fixed, Watch the VIDEO
**** UPDATE, 01/09/09, 9:38 a.m.: The link below to the HAMAS Rally report is fixed. Please watch. Also, if someone can copy and send to me, I'd appreciate it. ****
The classy Ron Savage, the only reporter at Detroit's FOX 2 News who is truly objective, covered the Thursday rallies at the McNamara Federal Building. (Ron is also a fireman.) The thing is that all the news stations only covered the initial rally and most did not cover the parade or the rally inside a Detroit Methodist Church later. The Muslims were not peaceful even at the event Ron covered, as they chanted (in Arabic) their support of Hezbollah and spilling blood and, in English, of establishing Palestine "from the river to the sea." Plus, there were no "Israelis" in our camp. We were all Americans--Christians and Jews, and the Muslims were mostly not Palestinians.
Still, I think Ron captured the essential difference between the two sides--the Muslims are full of hate and bigotry and the Westerners (again, we had both Christians and Jews in our crowd) just want peace and to be left alone and safe.
