Paterson New Jersey appears to be the first city in America to raise the Palestinian flag over a government public office.
Northjersey.com reports “PATERSON — The raising of a flag at City Hall on Sunday was like any of the dozen or so similar events held in the city each year in a nod to its diversity. Except it wasn’t. That’s because the flag raised for the first time in Paterson, and possibly at any city hall in the United States — was Palestinian. Symbols or assertions of Palestinian statehood are fraught with political sensitivities …”
Jewishpress.com reports “Man behind Palestinian flag at Paterson NJ city hall a convicted felon.”
-
The community leader who solicited government proclamations for naming May 19 ‘Palestinian American Day’ in Paterson, NJ had publicly expressed outrage over NYPD surveillance of Muslims. No one even noticed he was a convicted felon.
-
On the same day that many Americans were celebrating Israeli Independence Day, Paterson, New Jersey Mayor Jeffery Jones named Sunday, May 19 “Palestinian-American Day” in his city, and a Palestinian flag was hoisted over Paterson’s City Hall.
-
Jones presented a city proclamation commemorating the event. Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ9) was also there for the flag raising. Pascrell presented a letter of Special Congressional Recognition, and New Jersey Assemblyman Thomas Giblin (D-NJ34) presented a ceremonial resolution marking the event.

New Jersey City Raises Palestinian Flag Over City Hall – HAMAS CITY USA; Got Amnesty?!
By Debbie Schlussel May 20, 2013, - 1:24 pm
As longtime readers know, I’ve written about Paterson, New Jersey many times, noting that it has the largest concentration of Palestinian Muslims in the United States, North America, and practically anywhere outside the Palestinian Authority and Gaza. As I’ve also noted, even leftist MTV News broadcast reports showing thousands of Palestinian Muslims outside Paterson’s town hall, cheering the 9/11 attacks against America (and starting a riot using cement garbage cans and metal poles, which they used to strike police). Now, Paterson has made official what we’ve known for a long time: that it is Muslim-occupied territory.

After all this proclamation production in the U.S. city with the most Palestinians only 150 people showed up. That shows how much they care about American recognition.
To most Americans the Palestinian flag conjures up images of Jihad, lethal anti-Semitism, homicide bombers and hate for America.
The recognition of Palestine as American by raising the flag over Paterson City Hall and issuing a proclamation is insulting to millions of Americans. Additionally, combining the words Palestinian-American Day is even more repugnant.
Folks, this is how it starts. Symbolic acceptance is the beginning of the end to the American way as many treasure it.
Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to Paterson, New Jersey Mayor Jeffery Jones; Paterson, New Jersey City Council members; Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ9) and New Jersey Assemblyman Thomas Giblin (D-NJ34) objecting to the raising of the Palestinian flag and related proclamation.
