BREAKING: Over 100 New Yorker are protesting outside Temple Emanu-el where a ritzy invite-only service for Henry Kissinger is taking place.

“Rest in piss!”
“If we don’t get no justice, he don’t get no peace.”

@miralsattar I saw your post about the "Flat Gaza" sign above Quality Eats, and I'd love to interview you about what you said, and how this sign made you feel. Are you available for a brief phone call tomorrow morning?
