Skokie. A Jewish neighborhood. I remember when I was young, there was a national news story that enraged the country, Nazis marching in Skokie. It set the nation on edge, so repelled was the then moral, decent nation. 45 years later, the left elites are cheering the Nazis.
In 1977, Skokie, Illinois was home to around 40,500 Jews, thousands of whom were Holocaust survivors. Then, the National Socialist Party of America, a group of self-styled Nazis planned a march. In March of that year, the group requested a permit to march through the village, and were sued by Skokie to prevent it.
Back then, the national consensus was the Nazis should not be able to march and the issue being debated was free speech.

In regard to the lawsuit to prevent a Nazi group from marching in Skokie, Illinois:
What I challenge (and not only because of that particular case) is the interpretation of demonstrations and of other actions as so-called “symbolic speech.” When you lose the distinction between action and speech, you lose, eventually, the freedom of both. The Skokie case is a good illustration of that principle. There is no such thing as “symbolic speech.” You do not have the right to parade through the public streets or to obstruct public thoroughfares. You have the right of assembly, yes, on your own property, and on the property of your adherents or your friends. But nobody has the “right” to clog the streets. The streets are only for passage. The hippies, in the 60s, should have been forbidden to lie down on city pavements. (They used to lie down across a street and cause dreadful traffic snarls, in order to display their views, to attract attention, to register a protest.) If they were permitted to do it, the Nazis should be permitted as well. Properly, both should have been forbidden. They may speak, yes. They may not take action at whim on public property.

Yesterday in Skokie, myself & @TPUSA coworker were violently attacked by Pro-Hamas protestors while trying to escort a lost, elderly Jewish couple to the Pro-Israel event.
I was punched repeatedly, kicked in the head, and hit with a flagpole.
This is being Pro-Israel in 2023. pic.twitter.com/IYRePuiPxX

Video from #Skokie clearly shows the Jewish man was set upon by a crowd after attempting to stop a woman from attacking his car with a sign. He fired to get the pile off of him & no one was injured. Stop believing the lies that a Jew randomly shot into a crowd of Palestinians. pic.twitter.com/5SeL0PUyok

The pro “Palestinian” marches must be met by the army, not police. The army has more appropriate weapons and rules of engagement. The scum must be shot like rabid dogs

Marching in protest about the killing of thousands of innocent people in Gaza does not mean that they are pro-Palestinian and certainly not scum. Anyone who supports Israeli genocide in Gaza could no doubt be described as scum.

None of the muslimes, in the Gaza is innocent. They are all taught to Hate Jews, Christians and anyone who is not a muslime (infidels), when they are born. They are also taught how to Shoot and Kill non-muslimes as soon as they can hold a gun. Far From Being Innocent.

Unfortunately, Illinois has strict Gun Control Laws and it is very difficult for the honest citizens to legally own guns and to have on their person to protect themselves.

The first video of the terrorist attacking the elderly couple and the escort needs a narration of what is happening. It seems like the police arrested someone, but it does not say if it was the terrorist or a Jew trying to peacefully walk by.
The second video seems to show the police arresting someone for protecting themselves with their second amendment right and God given unalienable right of self-defense. The police should never have made it necessary for the person to protect themselves. So, the guy is most likely going to jail, and have to prove to a fucking judge that he feared for his life. But none of the terrorist were arrested I bet.

Jews in all countries must arm themselves against Nazi Palestinians. If we don’t learn from history we are doomed to repeat it.
