Eye witness reports that just prior to the eruption of violence by the pro-palestinians, Vega was engaged in a peaceful conversation with a palestinian supporter. Suddenly, a mob surrounds him.
Vega states:
“What brought me out here is this sort of anti-Israel atmosphere that this administration is holding over the United States. I want to show the Israeli people there are American people in our nation that support the state of Israel… And that is why am standing here with an American flag on my right hand, and Israeli flag on my left hand, in a show of solidarity with the Israeli people.”
As Vega marched with his two flags he was pushed, punched, kicked and spat on. One demonstrator tried to ignite the Israeli flag he held.
The question is asked, is it worth it to endanger yourself in this way? Is it worth it to stand for your beliefs, knowing the right to peacefully assemble is guaranteed? Or should we stand down knowing there is a possibility of attack, and let those who think differently control the conversation–by their threats and then actions as seen in this video?

Veterans also tend to be Republican more so than Democratic. And this administration well knows that.
Of course. No big mystery there.
Thank you for your service Ruben. You have my respect and gra$#%&!@*ude. I do a lot of volunteer work for Veterans it is my way of trying to give back to all of you. God Bless you
Thank you for the reply. A lot of people don’t understand how bad some of these countries truly are, as in displaying themselves as a Trojan horse. Then they take over everything.
We despise Obama and his regime too.
Heroes of liberty? Let’s get real! Not a Obama fan nor a dem! But no war has been for liberty!!!
This shows how much they hate us. Soon American s will be unable to travel to Europe because of the muslims.
They get nothing with Marines at the gates of hell. They get hell.
We really appreciate you guys- it’s as bad as the way our Vietnam vets were treated except that was by our people- didn’t know you had signed up to be a political pawn? Thank you all !
Congress has been bought and paid for- they are all a bunch of traitors and if they vote for the Iran deal they should be shot!
