Anti-Zionist and far-left activist groups announce a vigil for the late Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in New York City tomorrow.
The event will take place in Washington Square Park, a central location in Manhattan.
The vigil is endorsed by at least seven smaller, extremist activist groups, such as the Bronx Anti-War Coalition and Crown Heights Bites Back. The leading anti-Zionist groups in the city have not signed on.
“This vigil is a solemn reminder that Amerikan colonial violence is a singular evil. We honor all those who have been killed at the hands of Amerikan pigs,” the groups say in a statement. “We stand with Ayatollah Khamenei because he stood for us.”
Some of the groups have held similar vigils for the terrorist leaders Yahya Sinwar of Hamas and Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah.
