(92,948 posts)bloviation about that, it's put out there for the shock value, that is all. I seriously doubt they will have anyone who is actually a member of hamas there.
There is quite a bit of resistance and most of the town is donig what they can to counter them.

(15,093 posts)Skokie was a largely Jewish community. The residents revolted, the Nazis were denied a permit and the march was cancelled. However, what I remember most clearly is that the word on the street was if the march proceeded, the marchers would be taking their lives into their own hands, that there would be minimal police presence and that a few Nazi heads might get blown off by snipers. Interesting that there was a massive Mafia presence in the Chicago area at the time.

The Foundation is encouraging people to make a donation to the MHRN for every minute of the rally. The funds for the project will go towards purposes that the neo-Nazis detest, such as increased security for Jews and Jewish institutions, trainings for community members on how to de-escalate and intervene in hate incidents, and educational events about the dangers of white supremacy and racism.
The JKR Foundation made an initial pledge of $10 for every minute of the march, up to $2,500.
...
MHRN co-director Rachel Carroll Rivas told The Huffington Post that theyve received pledges from hundreds of people in the last few hours, from the Jewish community in Montana, and local and national allies.
Hopefully having folks pledge per minute the racists march, deters them from doing so, Carroll Rivas told HuffPost. Maybe we raise no money, and thats the best thing, or we do raise the funds. Either way, well take those funds and put them towards things white supremacists hate.
Montanas Democratic and Republican lawmakers spoke out against the proposed rally in an open letter, warning that those who seek to publicize anti-Semitic views shall find no safe haven in Montana.

I haven't alerted and won't alert for that reason. But what is the justification?
