What were these protesters thinking? Are they ignorant? Is Islam a threat to our nation? https://m.youtube/watch?v=rpGPzoaNVCU&feature=youtu.be There was bedlam at the New York City Council on Thursday. Demonstrators disrupted a deeply moving and symbolic vote, but protest organizers say it wasn’t supposed to happen that way. As CBS2’s Matt Kozar reported, pro-Palestinian protesters stormed the balcony inside City Council chambers. For five minutes they disrupted a vote on a resolution commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz. “The council members were shocked,” said Jacob Kornbluh, a political correspondent with the website JPupdates. Kornbluh recorded the protest on his phone. “I think they stepped over the line,” he said. Councilman David Greenfield (D-44th), whose relatives died in the Holocaust, feels the same way. “Somebody would engage in an anti-Semitic protest while we are having a conversation about 1.1 million people who were slaughtered during the Holocaust? That’s when you decide to protest?” he said. newyork.cbslocal/2015/01/22/pro-palestinian-protesters-storm-city-council-chambers-during-symbolic-auschwitz-vote/
