Manhattan, NY – This time, a picture was worth several dozen shoes.

At least 150 pro-Palestinian New Yorkers rallied against Mayor Bloomberg for his recent trip to Israel and unfettered support of that country in the latest outbreak of violence in Gaza.
The protesters, gathering outside City hall, tossed the old shoes at a portrait of Bloomberg they carried along.
“The mayor of New York is going to Israel to support this terrorism, this genocide against Palestinians in Gaza,” said Raja Abdulhaq, who represented a group called Break the Siege on Gaza.
Larris Jamal, a Brooklyn resident who immigrated from Palestine, said the mayor should either stay neutral or side with the Palestinians because “international law” is on their side.
At the end of the protest, the marchers went to Foley Square – carrying Bloomberg’s picture pierced with shoes and chanting, “Bloomberg, Bloomberg, shame on you.”
Police who guard City Hall were expecting a larger, more rambunctious protest, and said they set up barriers for 5,000 demonstrators.
They are such losers!!
Hail to the Mayor!!!!!!!
Very original!
At least we now know wo the terrorists that live in this city are.
The police were smart by taking pictures of all these terrrorists and people that sympathize with a terrroist group.
Hamas has also been designated by the State department as a terrorist group.
What a joke!!
I think all jews should go into the shoe business. It seems that sales are on the rise in a BIG way!!
First of all, when Mayor Bloomberg decided to change the law and stay mayor for the third term, I says to myself ..”what, is this guy crazy or what?”.. “just how GOOD does he think he really IS?”.. honest, no kidding. NOW, however, I would see him in office for the rest of his life.. I would even vote for him for president. I think when he got together with his mother for her birthday there in Florida, she musta knocked some sense into his head. Now he is a nice Jewish boy, just like his mother says he is. Seriously folks.., Mayor Bloomberg should be extolled by all leaders in the Jewish Community. What he did took guts and chutzpah, and to heck with all the naysayers… go back to sleep
Wow – The NY ost believes there is a country called Palestine – that is how they identified the country this now Brooklyn resident emmigrated from. Anyone know what airlines fly to Palestine. Or waht their language or currency is/
how dear they throw shoes
Isnt there a law against unlawful assembly? Did they have a permit for their protest? If not, their asses should be in jail right now.
how dear they throw shoes
Perhaps Madoff should have invested in Florsheim and Nike!
The more they protest the bigger chance he got for 2012

Blow yourself up in the Hudson river
i love you mayor you gave us big chizuk
Look closely at the picture & you’ll see a protest sign that reads “Free Palestine for the River to the Sea.” That’s their end goal: no Jews anywhere from the Jordan River
to the Mediterranean Sea. It’s not just about Gaza!
