Protestors in Dearborn, Michigan, were heard chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” during an Al-Quds Day rally on Friday.
In a video from the event, Hadi Institute activist Tarek Bazzi was heard saying, “We have been asked in the past why our protests on the international day Al-Quds, why are they so anti-American? Why don’t we just focus on Israel and not talk so much about America?”
“Gaza has shown the entire world why these protests are so anti-American,” he claimed. “Because it’s the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities that we just heard about.”
Bazzi went on to reference the words of Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Day Al-Quds Day.
Bazzi claimed that chanting “Death to Israel” has become “the most logical chant” around the world. The crowd could then be heard chanting “Death to Israel” in the background. The video ends with the crowd singing the “From the River to the Sea” rallying cry, which advocates for the end of the Jewish nation.
According to Fox News, the International Al-Quads Day pro-Palestinian rally has been held in Dearborn for the last 20 years on the last Friday of the Ramadan holiday. The city has the highest number of Muslim residents per capita in the county.
