Pro Gaza rally assaults photographer -NYC

(January 30, 2009)This failure to protect, on a selective basis, is a VIOLATION of police procedure. And the situation only grows more hostile to those who support Israel. What's up New York?! After the 'Palis' pushed & grabbed at his camera and then hit him with their signs, he responded by grabbing at the sign...he did not assault them....and the police just stood around or walked away....

A photographer from a major New York newspaper (The NY Post) was assaulted and harassed by the new 'Brown Shirts"... NYC police showed very little interest in assisting the photographer (who had press credentials)They seemed to prefer doing nothing (if you could find them) NYC police did a lot of standing around while the Green-vested/Brown-shirts steam-rolled the First Amendment.They are the Green Vest patrol that accompanies these anti-Israel and other ubiquitous hate-America 'peace' rallies. They reason for driving the NY Post photog away? they told him, "We don't want your press)

and how come there is only 1 PHOTOGRAPHER with issues? i see all the others enjoying taking pictures and videos of the rally!

and maybe the next time this photographer should try NOT TO FORCE his camera in people's faces!!

wait..do I see him pushing? 9:17?

and y do i find it weird to believe 1 PRESS MAN and not all these people of the rally ??

The "pali" supporters, when they saw his press pass, told the NY Post photographer to leave ...They ddn't want him to take pictures because he was from the Post. It's a public street. They don't have that right. They then continued to harass him (aggressively) to keep him from taking any pictures for his newspaper.

continuing: He was NOT the aggressor. They were. And the police stood by and watched ...they were not helpful ...in fact the captain and other officers appear to be muslim-arabic themselves (conflict of interest, perhaps?)

Looked to me like the photographer threw hit

the protesting guy first.

At what time point in the video is the alleged assault on the photographer?

Thanks.

He wasn't hitting he was pushing .The photographer was protecting his camera and himself after he was hit with a sign.

Useful idiots...... Jordan is Palestine. Google: "The Engagement Movement" The Palestinian Arabs are really Jews.

lolol these people are WITH the building of the muslim thing?

[FreedomResistance]

Something is terribly wrong when we give these muslims the right of freedom of speech when their ideology Islam is completely against freedom of speech against muslims..

[FreedomResistance]

THOSE FUCKING COPS ARE MUSLIMS!!!

[FreedomResistance]

I get sick when I see muslims do this. But I get even more sick when I see americans joining the muslims in their demonstrations against Israel. This is madness!

You can see him and three others doing the same thing in "Rasclaat, The Brown Shirt." That video was taken today.

"remember that king hussein reterned the west bank to the palestinians 23 years ago."

Jordan returned nothing. As a matter in fact, if they wanted the territory that would make things a whole lot easier.

What is however a fact, is that king Hussein did kick out the PFLP (modern day PLO) after they turned his country into a parking lot for hijacked planes on September 6, 1970 (look up Dawson's Field hijackings my dear Spaniard, and see the effect it has on Palestinian relations)

You said "[...]american [...]and every body knows that you have a very limited information about the international problems" How's that not saying that American's are ignorant?

AND if you don't like something on wikipedia start a discussion there. It seems that you regard this internet resource as a only source of knowledge. Shame on you!

"1948 the west bank was given temporaly to jordan " Jordan gained WB & Egypt Gaza as a result of War of Independence in 1948, until 6 Day War
