Salute To Israel Parade in NYC

June 1st was a beautiful sunny day in Manhattan and for more than five hours marchers interacted with the crowds and dignitaries along Fifth Avenue.
Your New York Metro Chapter was represented among those who cheered the marchers, with members arriving and departing throughout the day at "our corner."
A few blocks away, a group of (mainly) muslim protesters carried their signs of odium and destruction. One man who objected to their presence was beaten by a particularly hate-filled police officer and was apparently arrested on unknown (probably bogus) charges. We will be following up on this incident and hope to terminate his disgraceful police career.
The well-known ACT! sign proclaiming "Lan Astaslem" - I will not submit to Islam - was received by the marchers with cheers and thumbs-up. It was photographed by dozens of passers-by and pros, and is on view at several web sites. Two of our supporters are holding it in the photo, above.
By the way, it was a great occasion to hand out literature and recruit prospective members!
