Last night (Friday, October 27,2023) something happened in New York City that some say has not happened in over 20 years: Thousands of people turned out for a peaceful protest and shut down Grand Central Station, one of the largest commuter rail stations in the world, in an act of civil disobedience where hundreds of people were arrested.

The Zionist-funded corporate media and alternative media in the United States had a difficult time covering this event since it did not fit their current narrative regarding the war in Israel and Gaza right now, where they want the whole world to think this is a war between Jews and Muslims, with all Jewish people supporting Israel’s actions, and all Muslim people supporting the Palestinians and Hamas.

Whoops! This protest against the war calling for a cease fire and peace, was led by American Jews, NOT Palestinians.

Thousands of protesters stormed Grand Central Station sparking travel chaos for New Yorkers amid anger over the humanitarian crisis emerging in Gaza.

Protesters, mainly made up of Jewish people, shut down the station as they took over the main hall and blocked the main concourse.

New York police said at least 200 people had been arrested but the protest’s organisers put the number over 300.

The anti-war group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) described their action as an “emergency sit-in”. (Full article.)

I can’t state this truth often enough, which is that every time you see or read a media source classify all people into a category that states all the people in that category, such as a religious or ethnic group, all believe and act the same, that this is ALWAYS false.

I have previously written that the majority view among both sides of the current conflict between Israel and Gaza, are the vast numbers of people who do NOT support their government and military actions, and just want the fighting to STOP! See:

Truth is Now CENSORED – Hate and War are Too Popular and Too Prosperous

But a major event like the shutting down of Grand Central Station in New York is very hard to ignore by the Zionist censors, so in the headlines in my news stream today that covered this event, they conveniently chose to not mention anything about the fact that these protesters were Jews. Here are some examples of headlines that covered this news story:

More than 300 pro-Palestinian protesters arrested in Grand Central: NYPD

Thousands of Anti-Israel Protesters Shut Down NYC’s Grand Central Station

Grand Central Terminal shut down due to pro-Palestinian protests

Notice how instead of reporting the truth in these headlines that almost all of these protesters were Jews, that instead they used terms like “Pro-Palestinian” and “Anti-Israel” that better fits their narrative.

Even ZeroHedge News, which traditionally has leaned Libertarian in their political views, but recently more and more writers for ZeroHedge are now promoting the Pro-MAGA, Pro-Trump, Pro-Zionism, Pro-Conservative/Anti-Liberal political views, wrote this as their headline:

Grand Central Terminal Shut Down By Left-Wing Pro-Palestinian Protesters

And it almost worked, as I almost did not click on the article. But I have been through Grand Central Station in NYC so many times in the past, that I knew this was probably a huge story, and was worth reading. But I did not even learn that the protesters were Jews until after I clicked on the story.

I went over to Google News, which is a summary of Corporate News headlines, and the shutting down of Grand Central Station in NYC by Jewish protesters did not even make the list of top stories this morning.

Here are a couple of videos that were posted on Twitter.com, including one from the group that reportedly sponsored the protest, Jewish Voice for Peace:

 

So which headline more accurately represents the facts of the protesters who shut down one of the largest commuter train stations in the world in New York last night?

My headline: “Thousands of Jewish Protesters Shut Down NYC Grand Central Station with Hundreds of Jews Arrested for Supporting Peace and Cease Fire in Gaza” – or one like this: “Anti-Israel Pro-Palestinian Protesters Shut Down Grand Central Station in NYC”?

Both headlines cover the same event and the same facts.

The Evil Propaganda that Always Divides People into Two (and ONLY two) Groups such as “Liberals vs. Conservatives” and “Jews vs. Muslims”

Again, I cannot state this enough, as I already stated above in this article, which is that every time you see or read a media source classify all people into a category that states that all the people in that category, such as a religious or ethnic group, all believe and act the same, is ALWAYS false.

It seems that many people on the Right are starting to wake up to this fact, and increasingly I am starting to see some on the Right among the Zionists admit that not all Palestinians are terrorists, especially when these Zionists begin to realize that many Palestinians are actually Christians, and suffering the same fate as their fellow Muslim citizens.

Instead, the narrative among Conservative Zionists seems to be switching to “Hamas is a Terrorist Organization”, writing as if everyone who belongs to Hamas must, therefore, be a terrorist.

One of those is journalist Jonathan Turley, who this week wrote an article titled: Yes, Hamas is Legally, Morally, and Factually a Terrorist Organization. (Source.)

Whenever you see statements like this in the media, notice how they start with two basic premises to support their argument: 1. They write from the perspective that the group they are criticizing all believe the same things, and 2. if you don’t support their view on this group, then you automatically support this group.

But neither of these two premises is ever true. It is always a Straw Man argument, which means since they get to define the terms and definitions, they then get to knock down this false group that they just created.

So what are the publicly known and indisputable facts about Hamas that BOTH sides agree on?

First, Hamas is a political organization that runs the Government in Palestine. They were elected by the people in Palestine.

As a political party that currently runs the government, they oversee much of society in Palestine, which means overseeing social services such as food distribution, medicine and hospital services, police services, and utilities such as electricity, gas, garbage disposal, etc.

This is a picture I used in a recent article showing a Hamas policeman:

Hamas also has a military force, and within that military is the Qassam Brigades, which “has been waging an armed resistance against Israeli occupation since its founding in 1992.” (Source.)

Everything I just wrote above about “Hamas” is publicly verifiable information that almost nobody on either side of this issue will dispute.

And yet I already know that I will probably get at least one email from someone after I publish this article who will claim that I “support Hamas terrorists,” because they are not intelligent enough to understand that someone can report facts that don’t support their narrative and not automatically be a member of that group that they hate so much.

I recently made a comment on a Silicon Valley Tech publication article that weaponized the term “misinformation” to attack a political view held by the editor of this publication.

One person replied to my comment: Why don’t you just admit that you hate Jews? I replied that I neither hated Jews nor Muslims, and that I had customers and readers from both of these groups in both of my businesses.

But many who were commenting could not accept my statement, because to them one has to be in one or the other group, not considering the fact that people can comment and have opinions without being part of either group.

So are all members of the Hamas political group currently ruling the government of Gaza, which the Western Media mostly refers to as a “terrorist organization” as Turley does, really all “terrorists”?

If this designation was not directed towards a Muslim Palestinian political group, most people in the West would easily be able to see just how prejudiced and illogical this view is.

For example, let’s use this “logic” with political organizations within the U.S.

There are two main political organizations in the U.S.: The Republicans, and The Democrats.

How would you view a statement like this: Republicans are legally, morally, and factually terrorists. Or: Democrats are legally, morally, and factually terrorists?

When either of these two parties control the government of the United States, do they commit acts of “terrorism”?

Yes, of course they do, although we don’t like the word “terrorism” when referring to military strikes that kill innocent people of other nationalities outside the U.S., or funding doctors who try to kill their patients through bioweapon injections like “COVID vaccines.”

But what do you call Democratic President Barack Obama when he ordered a drone assassination of Muslim American citizens who were killed in Yemen, including a 16-year-old, with no due process of law?

It was the first time the U.S. Government ordered an assassination of an American citizen with no due process of law.

And then one of the first acts President Trump did in 2017, was to order more Muslims killed by U.S. drone strikes in Yemen, including the 8-year-old daughter of the American killed by Obama’s CIA, who was also an American citizen. (Source.)

Would it be appropriate for Muslims living in Yemen who have watched this happen over the years to call the Democrat and Republican parties “terrorist organizations” who should be “wiped off the face of the earth”?

No, of course not! Those of us who live in the U.S. know full well that the vast majority of American citizens who belong to one of these two political parties do not support all the actions of our government, especially the killing of innocent people through our military and intelligence agencies, or the actions of our mafia medical system that has murdered many millions of Americans over the years through their drugs and vaccines all sanctioned by government agencies such as the FDA, CDC, etc.

We as citizens of the U.S. know how to condemn certain actions of our government without condemning all citizens of the U.S. who support the political parties that conduct these murders and acts of terrorism.

And yet most Americans (although certainly not all!) do not seem to even have the ability to look at the information (propaganda) that is being fed to them and not fall for the trap the causes prejudice and discrimination, which is ALWAYS wrong, and lump all people together as if they all believe, think, and act the same, such as: All Muslims are evil and terrorists because that’s what their religion and governments teach them.

This is a lie, and when people believe the lie, they are not following the Truth.

Because the only classification of people that the Bible teaches, especially in the New Testament writings of the New Covenant period that we are all living in right now, is between the people who serve Satan (most of them unwittingly) and are in the Kingdom of Darkness, and those who serve Jesus Christ and are living in the Kingdom of Light.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord.

Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.

But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. (Ephesians 5:8-17)

He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:13-14)

You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. (1 Thessalonians 5:5)

That’s how Jesus viewed people, including the Jews.

To his Jewish disciples:

To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32)

To the unbelieving Jews:

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire.

He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?

He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.” (John 8:44-47)
