described as "mostly peaceful" a march at which protesters were filmed trying to kick in the doors of Grand Central, shouting "Cry, bitch, cry" at an Israeli woman, and screaming "You Zionist pig."

On Mother's Day we should honor Anna Jarvis, who invented it, then turned against the commercialized version of it, then found herself in a "sanitarium" paid for by the flower and card industry who didn't want her interfering with their profits. She died there in 1948.
