The Middle Tennessee Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) plans to hold a third pro-Palestine rally on Sunday in front of the Fred D. Thompson Federal Building and Courthouse in Nashville from 4:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m.
The “Emergency Rally and Vigil for Palestine” will be the group’s third straight weekend of rallying in support of Palestine amid the terrorist group Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel that left over 1,400 Israelis and 32 Americans dead.

The far-Left organization urged those planning on attending the rally to bring flags, signs, and wear keffiyeh.
In a statement released October 12, Middle Tennessee DSA pledged, “We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.”
Last week, as reported by The Tennessee Star, the group’s rally in front of the Nashville Metropolitan Courthouse drew a crowd of approximately 300 vocal supporters who chanted slogans indicating support for a “Free Palestine” and the ouster of Israel from the region.
The group’s first rally tied up traffic in downtown Nashville as the protesters marched to the Legislative Plaza from 800 Broadway Street.
Sunday’s rally comes two days after a pro-Israel demonstration took place at Legislative Plaza in Nashville which drew a crowd of approximately 400.
Friday’s rally featured special guest speakers, including state representatives, state senators, pastors, rabbis, music artists, and community leaders. Only one Democrat, State Senator Heidi Campbell (D-Nashville) addressed the crowd, however, failed to denounce the antisemitism demonstrated in recent weeks by her colleagues in the Democratic Party and groups such as Middle Tennessee DSA.
A handful of pro-Palestine counter-protesters were present at Friday’s rally, calling for a ceasefire and holding signs with slogans including, “Jews against genocide stand with Palestine,” “Jews 4 a free Palestine,” and “End the cycle of genocide now.”

Another pro-terrorist rally. Goodie!
Isis=hamas and 9/11 already forgotten ???
So much for “Never Again!”
Free Martha’s Vineyard! It’s occupied territory from the Atlantic to the Atlantic.
look at all of those established gray-headed folks at the “rally”. Oh, you did not see but maybe one or two. That should tell you a lot about the younger generations and the education (indoctrination) we paid for at public schools and high dollar universities .
