Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.
The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.
The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.

Even though Veterans Day is a federal holiday, only 19 percent of workers employed by private business get the day off. Originally called Armistice Day, it marks the end of World War I “at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month” of 1918.
Twenty million people were killed during this imperialist war, half of whom were civilians. It was waged between colonial powers that had enslaved hundreds of millions in Africa, Asia and the Americas.
So why should poor and working people commemorate Nov. 11? Because on Nov. 11, 1831, the liberator Nat Turner was executed.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we present you the Middle East columnist of the ‘paper of the record’, Tom Friedman:
Iran Is Crushing Freedom One Country at a Time
Having covered the Middle East my entire adult life, I’m seeing some trends emerging there that I’ve never seen before. … The Iranian ayatollahs even had to largely shut down their own internet to prevent the domestic rebellion from spreading. Ever since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2002, Iran has never wanted to see a stable, multisectarian, secular democracy emerge in Baghdad, because then Iranian Shiites would be asking why Iraqi Shiites get to live freely and they don’t.
For the record. The invasion of Iraq began on March 19 2003, not in 2002. Friedman should know that. He and his paper were major pro-war propagandists in the run up to it.
During the first three years of the war Friedman went on to predict 14 times that 'success’ in Iraq would come within the “next six month”, a distance now known as a Friedman unit.
If the New York Times and its main Middle East columnist can not even get that date right what else do they get wrong?
A cursory read of Friedman’s anit-Iranian column suggests that the answer is “everything”.

Pro-war propaganda.
A fellow I do a fair amount of business with posted on social media today that this is not a day for “antiwar propaganda.”
Nonsense.
Veterans’ Day was originally Armistice Day, in commemoration of the cessation of hostilities in World War I. The armistice was signed in the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, in 1918.
For four years, Europe tore itself apart, and sent millions of men into a meat grinder for no good reason. Tens of thousands would die, and the front would move a matter of yards.
Especially on this hundredth anniversary of the original Armistice Day, how does anyone seriously expect to honor the fallen without any discussion of the madmen who sent them into this horror?
Did their deaths occur in some abstract realm, outside time, space, and causation?
Or were they killed in specific ways, under orders from particular people?
Anyone speaking in mere platitudes today is an enemy of mankind.
The left-liberals and neoconservatives alike, who always seem to put aside their pretend differences when an idiotic war is in the offing, and who make saccharine speeches about democracy and openness and peace, are enemies of mankind.
As a reminder of how deranged our cultural elite and political establishment are, how many major political figures of the past hundred years have been dismissed from polite society for urging too much war?
There are lots of things that get you demonized and ostracized in America, but that ain’t one of them.
Usually it gets you called a “statesman.”
This is deranged.
Especially on Veterans Day should we speak out against war and the lying propagandists who foment them.
And the state cheerleaders who make excuses for them. (Why, Saddam really did have WMDs! etc.)
Especially culpable are the so-called conservatives who claim to distrust government propaganda — and yes, they’re indeed very sound on the milk subsidies question — but who can’t ape that Pentagon press release fast enough.
To hell with all of them.
