Boston: Palestinian terrorist flag waved at Israeli dance troupe protest
Pro-Palestinian activists waved the flag of a terrorist organization and praised violent action in a Friday protest against the Israeli Vertigo Dance Company at the Boston Boch Center Shubert Theatre.
The red flag of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the US State Department’s Bureau of Counterterrorism, can be seen waved prominently by marchers in videos posted on social media by Palestinian Youth Movement Boston, Party for Socialism & Liberation Boston and the Boston Coalition for Palestine.
One marcher waving the flag wore a keffiyeh with a matching PFLP headband. Later during the protest, a woman draped in a Palestinian flag can be seen carrying the flag.
“Glory to the martyrs and glory to the Palestinian resistance,” said one protest speaker.
As part of a chant, demonstrators called out “Long live the Intifada.”
“Long live the Intifada”
“Reject all forms of normalization wherever you see it. Glory to all our martyrs. Glory to the Resistance!” said promotional images for the protest, which were posted by PYM, PSL, BCP, Students for Justice in Palestine Emerson, Boston South Asian Coalition, BDS Boston, and Students for Justice in Palestine Suffolk University.
In the promotional posts, the red triangle used in terrorist propaganda to denote targeting for an attack is placed above a Vertigo dancer. The red triangle also appears above the name Vertigo.
“Reject Zionism in all spheres. Zionists out of dance. Zionists out of Palestine,” the advertisement demands with red triangles above the words “Zionism” and “Zionists,” except for the last which was crossed out with a blood smear.
Some of the protest advertisement slides also cross out the face of the dancer with a blood smear, who faces black garbed figures carrying rocks and shields.
The activist groups explained that they organized the Iranian Al Quds Day protest against the troupe in part because “Vertigo Dance Company is based in occupied Al Quds [Jerusalem].” The company is based in the Gerard Behar Center in the western side of Jerusalem. As noted on the advertisement and chanted by activists, “no peace for settlers on stolen land.”
“On top of dancing on stolen land, they work with the genocidal IOF [sic] and provide ‘rehab’ for soldiers after they commit genocide in Gaza,” claimed the activist groups.
The company operates the Resilience Farm project at the Vertigo Eco-Art Village, offering regular and reserve soldiers who have experienced trauma an isolated location where they can undergo therapeutic sessions, body and mind workshops, Qigong, Feldenkrais, meditation, and other programs.
The Boston Red Sox were beaten 4-3 on Saturday by the Texas Rangers, dropping to 1-2 on the young season.
In the loss, Rafael Devers continued his first week struggles. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and has yet to record a hit.
He’s also made some unenviable history, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
Boston Red Sox DH Rafael Devers just set a major-league record by striking out 10 times in the first three games of the season.

Still just 28 years old, there’s no reason to believe that Devers won’t figure this out, but it has been a tumultuous few weeks for him. First, the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman, who has bumped Devers from third base to designated hitter. Furthermore, Devers dealt with a shoulder injury through a good portion of the spring and got a late start.
Now in his ninth season, Devers has been one of the most productive hitters in baseball over that stretch. He’s a .278 career hitter who has hit exactly 200 home runs. He has 639 RBIs.
He’s coming off a year in which he hit .272 with 28 homers and 83 RBIs. The Red Sox finished 81-81 last year but missed the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
However, the expectations are much higher this season after signing Walker Buehler and Bregman, as well as trading for Garrett Crochet.
The Red Sox and Rangers will finish out their series on Sunday afternoon at 2:35 p.m. ET. Richard Fitts, one of the Red Sox’ Top 30 prospects, will pitch against Jacob deGrom, who is making his season debut for Texas.

The Boston Red Sox lost 4-3 to the Texas Rangers on Saturday, but all might not be lost for rookie and top prospect Kristian Campbell.
Campbell hit his first major league home run in the defeat, and now he’s reportedly working on a contract extension.
Per Chris Cotillo of MassLIVE:
On the night he hit his first major league home run, Kristian Campbell and the Red Sox are in deep talks on a contract extension, according to multiple sources.

At this time, we don’t have any idea on the kind of numbers being exchanged, but considering Campbell is already under contract for six years, any deal would figure to buy out at least one or two of his possible free agent years.
Team’s will often try to lock up young players to pre-arbitration deals, but the success rate is hit or miss. The Atlanta Braves have had great success doing this, signing Ronald Acuna Jr. and Ozzie Albies to team friendly deals. Under new Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow, the Red Sox have done this with Ceddanne Rafaela and Brayan Bello both.
Campbell is the No. 7 prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline. He hit .330 last year in the minor leagues, only appearing in 19 games at the Triple-A level before earning his major league call-up this year.
The Red Sox are 1-2 on the young season and will finish out the series with the Texas Rangers on Sunday afternoon at 2:35 p.m. ET. But will Campbell have a new deal before the time first pitch is thrown?
ANOTHER REHAB START: Brayan Bello, on the shelf for the Boston Red Sox, will pitch for Triple-A Worcester. Here are the details. CLICK HERE:
