I found myself at the State Capitol steps with my two daughters in their stroller, in the wind. I had debated whether or not I should go to this. My wife was at her parents helping them paint the inside of their house. So I packed em up, and took a ride to the city. I just felt I needed to be there. At first I was only going to drive by a couple of times and snap a few photos, but when I got to the gauntlet....I could not believe my eyes. I had to get in there. I personally took the photo below. Unfortunately the only one because, I forgot the memory card and the internal memory was full.
The supporters of Israel, on the east side of the street on the steps of the capitol, and accross the street, in Civic Center Park,
the enemy. Only 5 my oldest daugher asked"Why are we here Daddy?" I said for the brotherhood of mankind....I know she did not understand. The Israeli supporters were about 2,000, and for Palestine 1,500 (rough estimate). The bull horn amplified over speakers from the Palestinian supporters constantly chanting "Save our people, Save our Nation, Israel is a terroist nation" I was shaking my head in amazement os those shallow words. I walked up to a man and his two sons holding up a huge flag of Israel, he smiled and asked me what I thought. I told him this was amazing, and the had a lot of nerve holding signs of "Free Palestine", when they could have been free years ago, and they were puppets of Iran and Syria. "It gives them excuses to lob bombs at Israel, if they are not free" They both want Israel wiped off the face of the earth. He mentioned the real scary part is those pepole over there actually believe they are right. I agreed.
He also stated he wanted to bring his sons out to expirience what things are really like out there. They must have been 13 and 11 years old.
We spoke of how no one from the middle east region really never spoke up about the atrocities in World War II, and Israel has been fighting for THEIR exsistantce ever since. I asked him what his name was, his name was James, and told him mine, and shook his hand , said it was a pleasure
and that he was a good man. I was really starting to get heated up, at was at this point, I decided to cross the street.
Seeing more signs of Free Palestine and chants of "Shame.....shame...Israel" "Save our Children". They were so loud I could not even hear the pro Israel supporters that well. I noticed two people handing out propaganda on the otherside of the crosswalk, for some reason they left quickly when I approached with my "FDNY" hat on with a very sour look on my face.I would have LOVED receiving some CD and pro Palestinain crap. I circled their group from behind, at that point they announced they would break and pray to Allah. That did it for me....As I was walking I prayed, that God would put a spirit of confusion over this group, that he was the only true God,to stop the evil that occurs from Islam. I had to cross back to the other side....
On the Israeli side, I waked right up the middle, chants of "Long live Israel" and signs of God will prevail were seen. Things almost got out of hand when, one man with no traffic, ran right down the middle of the street with an Israeli flag to cheers from the east side.Soon after, one of the Palestinain supporters managed to take a smaller Israeli flag from a vehicle and thow it at that car, and ran and stomped it on the street, wiping his feet all over it contiuously. I took my kids back to the car soon after this.
In all I stayed about 45 minutes, thinking about the events, most all the people present were all Americans. Terror does not discriminate, if a bomb took out that entire block who would be to blame??
THEY HAD A LOT OF NERVE HAVING THE AMERICAN FLAG, ON THE PALESTINIAN SIDE!!!!! As God as my witness, If I was younger and my children were not present, and I was single, I would have been in jail. In the end, I saw Black,White, Brown....people of all colors on both sides. This is a World wide problem, this affects us all. There is a good and an evil, people just can not seem to get it. Lord, I thank you for not letting my temper get the best of me, I pray wherever evil is, whatever form, person, ideal, conjuring plan, spirit...whatever the case may be. Lord put a spirit of confusion over it, disallow the finances that support it, break their very will and blind their eyes. Please protect the nation of Israel and our nation from harm, send your gaurdian angels to protect us in these days. In your name above any other name, AMEN!!

We have forgotten the impact of 9/11. It is apparent that when a Palestinian supporter grabs an Israeli flag and stomps on it, it may as well have been an American flag being stepped on. We support Israel, they did not dance in the streets when the two towers fell. THAT IS EXACTLY WHY THE USA FLAG HAD NO BUSINESS DISPLAYED OVER ON THAT SIDE!!! Traitors of our country hear this,
You will deny you are...but those that know the truth, know you are fake. You will never silence us!! It would be a pleasure and an honor to be on CAIR's watch list. I may have made it!
Here is a news headline...
DENVER - Two different groups with two very different views about the current Israeli-Hamas conflict in the Middle East protested in Denver Sunday.
The groups, one pro-Palestinian and the other pro-Israeli came face-to-face at the state capitol.
They protested across the street from each other. The Colorado Palestine Coalition strongly condemns what it calls the Israeli onslaught against the Palestinian people of Gaza. The other group, Americans against Terrorism, says Israel has the right to self-defense.
The Denver Police says the protest was mostly peaceful. There were no arrests.
