Peaceful Rallies Versus Violent Riots

The March for Israel stands in stark contrast to many anti-war, anti-GOP, and anti-statue rallies in recent years. More than anything, however, was the difference between it and pro-Palestinian demonstrations that have erupted since Hamas’s unprovoked Oct. 7 slaughter of 1,400 Israelis and others.

Pro-Palestinian/Hamas riots around the globe frequently involve calls for genocide, assaults, hooligans harassing holiday shoppers, and desecration of historic property, including American flags. They are chaotic and venomous and often require a major response from police departments.

Contrarily, the March for Israel’s aims were to support the Jewish State’s efforts to eradicate Islamist terrorism, demand the release of hostages kidnapped from Israel, and stand against the wave of antisemitism that has swept across the West since the war erupted.

[Put more simply: One set of rallies supported Western culture and values. The other … didn’t. Guess which set American media chose to promote. Ah, you don’t *have* to guess, do you? — Ed]
