I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we pray for these protestors. We pray that they would encounter your love. That any anger, bitterness or resentment that they feel would be healed by your radical peace. We pray that the truth would be revealed in your perfect timing.

A group of pro-Palestinian protestors burned an Israeli flag outside of Rockefeller Center as they marched through the streets of midtown Manhattan while demonstrating over businesses with ties to Israel.

The group carrying Palestinian flags and signs saying, ‘None of us are free until all of are free,’ ‘Imagine justice,’ and ‘We will free Palestine within our lifetime.’ They were also filmed chanting: ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’.’ Some critics claim that line is anti-Semitic because it appears to call for the destruction of Israel.

When the group got to Rockefeller Center, the protesters were seen tearing apart an Israeli flag and setting it on fire, and stomping on it, yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’. One woman was even filmed kneeling down and spraying more accelerant onto the flag in an apparent attempt to get it to burn faster.

Some members of the group were also seen carrying placards saying ‘Abolition Now,’ in an apparent call to dismantle the police.

Then, when they passed the BlackRock offices on 52 Street, two men sprayed red paint to symbolize the blood they claim the business has on its hands.

BlackRock, an asset managements firm, has significant investments in US defense firm Lockheed Martin, which supplies weapons technology to the state of Israel. It is owned by Larry Fink, who sits on the board of MoMA. . . .

Pro-Palestinian activists are now angry over Fink’s position on the MoMA board. Fellow board member Paula Crown has also been targeted, over her billionaire family’s company General Dynamics. General Dynamics also supplies defense technology to Israel.

Fellow MoMA board member was blasted for being a member of the World Jewish Congress, which protest group Strike MoMA claims ‘has long campaigned in defense of Zionist policies.’ The World Jewish Congress says it works to ensure the safety of Jews worldwide, and to serve as ‘the diplomatic arm of the Jewish people.’

Strike MoMA was last month accused of falsely alleging that another MoMA board member, Steven Tannabaum, after he was wrongly accused of donating money to send young Jewish people to Israel. That $1.8 million gift had actually been used to purchase a piece of modern artwork for the Art Institute of Chicago, The Times of Israel reported.

Strike MoMA have been staging weekly protests against the art museum, with five of its members permanently banned after they were accused of harassing a museum security guard during one protest last month.

During 11 days of conflict between Israel and Gaza last month, 243 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, including more than 100 women and children. Twelve people died in Israel.

That conflict – which ended with a ceasefire on May 21 – was also blamed for 75 per cent spike in anti-Semitic attacks on the US. The Anti-Defamation League, which tracks anti-Semitic attacks, says 127 hate attacks on Jews were reported in the two weeks before the conflict, with 222 reported during the fortnight of clashes between Israel and Gaza.

Some of those attacks were caught on camera. In Los Angeles, a convoy of pro-Palestinian protesters was filmed fighting with Jewish diners at a sushi restaurant after allegedly asking if any of them were Jews.

A man in Orthodox Jewish clothing was filmed being chased through a car park by a group driving an Audi SUV. And in New York a man wearing a kippah – the traditional head-covering for Jewish men – was set upon by a pro-Palestinian protester and beaten up.

Dear Lord God, Israel is the one beacon of light in the Mideast, they have lived in peace with the Arab nations there since the beginning of their nation. They have not invaded them, rather they have invited many to live in Israel and enjoy their lives working and living off of the fruit of the land along with them.
They did not start firing rockets upon the Arabs, in fact it was the other way around, and they rightly defended themselves. And as a result, Israel is unjustly accused of wrongdoing.
How is that right and just?
Oh God bless your chosen Israel. Let the new leaders govern with your wisdom and righteousness. And wake the people of Israel up to your salvation. We do pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
In Jesus’ name we pray.

I find the Pro Palestinian supporters to be disgusting, sorry, but that is what I see.
Find it disturbing that the United States of America allows people from all of the world to come here, then once some of them are here they start raining havoc against people their home of origin, wants to annihilate. Terrorism is evil. No place here in The United States of America.
I draw the line in the sand, when those people come here and start destroying, hurting or worse to people they do not like.
Israel is an ally to The United States of America, and we surely need to be supporting Israel, today, tomorrow and the future. The Bible says so and what happens to nations who go against her. The group of people who have endured evil attacks against them for decades are the Jewish people. I do not see them in our towns, cities out causing mayhem. Anyone of us would not like what they endure.
Company’s who are supporters of Israel be strong…..

Lord God I stand against injustice and antisemitism. I stand with the apple of Your eye Israel. There is but one solution and I appeal to You Holy Creator of the Universe and of all that is therein. You created all equal. Only You can change hearts, bring repentance and the reverential fear of God which we all need. It is not impossible for You. You turned Paul the persecutor into Your apostle in a moment.
Lord, come in Your Glory that mankind would have blinders removed to see that Jesus is the way, the Truth and the Life and the Light of the world
