Supporters of Palestine in Michigan Chant ‘Death to America!’, Call for the ‘Elimination’ of the Entire US System (Video)
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Pro-Palestinian supporters were heard chanting “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!”, calling for the entire U.S. system to be overhauled and called the United States “one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this Earth.”
At a pro-Palestinian rally in Dearborn, Michigan, marking International Al-Quds Day last Friday, attendees chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” while speakers also guided the crowd with the chants “from the river to the sea,” were seen in a video from the event distributed by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
Tarek Bazzi, a Michigan-based activist linked to the Hadi Institute, stated at the rally, “Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Al-Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America.”
Bazzi further invoked Malcolm X, quoting him as saying the U.S. is “one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this Earth,” as part of his argument for dismantling the entire American “system.”
“Genocide Joe,” referring to President Biden, Bazzi stated, “It’s not just Genocide Joe that has to go. It is the entire system that has to go. Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen, and would support it – such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s Earth.”
Bazzi shifted focus to Israel, telling the audience on how to respond when “fools” question “if Israel has the right to exist,” by emphasized that the chant “Death to Israel” is “the most logical chant shouted across the world today.”
The remarks were followed by chants of “Death to Israel!” from protesters in the crowd.
Michigan-based Imam Usama Abdulghani described Israel as an “evil settler colonialist project” and a “cancer,” asserting that “people of conscience” see Israel as embodying the worst of human behaviors: “Israel is ISIS, they are Nazis, they are fascists, they are racists.”
Subsequently, protesters were heard voicing chants of “Free Palestine” and “From the River to the Sea,” slogans used by Pro-Palestinian activists to signify the area from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea being entirely devoid of any Jewish presence.
Al-Quds Day, initiated in Iran in 1979 after the Iranian Revolution, is marked annually on the last Friday of Ramadan to support Palestinians and oppose Israel and Zionism, named after al-Quds, the Arabic name for Jerusalem.
