Thousands of people waving Palestinian flags gathered in the city of Paterson, NJ on Sunday to celebrate the renaming of a section of a busy street to Palestine Way, Middle East Eye reports.
Paterson City Council voted unanimously in April to rename a five-block area of Main Street Palestine Way in honor of the city’s large Palestinian community.
“Palestinians are making countless contributions to our communities every day in the United States of America,” claimed city mayor Andre Sayegh, who is of Lebanese and Syrian heritage. “History is happening here, when we finally unveil not Palestine Street, not Palestine Boulevard, but Palestine Way, because Palestinians always find a way.”
The estimated crowd of 5,000 erupted into cheers, as Sayegh revealed a bright green Palestine Way sign that also featured a US and Palestinian flag.
“This allows us to always remember the Palestinian struggles overseas. It’s a celebration, but it’s also showing that Palestinians are humans, we’re Americans, and we will never forget where we came from,” said Councilman Alaa Abdelaziz, the city’s first Palestinian-American councilman.
South Paterson is often referred to as “Little Ramallah” for its Palestinian-owned businesses, many of which reference Palestinian cities in their names such as Jerusalem Jewelry, Nablus Sweets, and Ramallah Travel Agency.

I think that is wonderful!! For every Arab coming to America from Israel, should be replaced by a Jew coming to live in Israel ! If 2 million observant jews would come to Israel, 2 million votes would be an equivalent to about 45 seats in the Knesset adding to the current total of religious parties of 23, the observant Jews would by themselves have a Majority. So to all those non believers of Israel, whatever happens to you in Golus, is your fault!! All you American Jews can protect Torah in Israel.
The Zionists would never allow their shmad to be decreased. That’s against the whole purpose of Zionism. As they said, better Zionism without Zion than Zion without Zionism.
Thank you President Biden. Your support of domestic terrorists in democrat controlled cities are much appreciated.
Martyr Lane, Blow-up alley, Stab me Road, Terrorist Boulevard, Moo-Ham-head Street………..these are names of other areas in Paterson, NJ. Finally the Palestinians have their own land. Now there will be peace in the middle east.
