Matzav.com has learned that a group of Neo-Nazis, under the auspices of the infamous hater and bigot, Frederick Waldron Phelps, Sr., better known as Fred Phelps, will be marching in front of Khal Shomrei Emunah, which is located at 5202 14th Avenue in Boro Park. The shul is led by its rov, Rav Aviezer Cohen. The Neo-Nazi group will hold its “Death to the Jews March” beginning at 8:30 a.m. A simultaneous march will be held at the East Midwood Jewish Center, located at 1625 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush.

These are just two of countless marches and rallies held around the country by this group, which frequently pickets various events, especially military funerals and high-profile political gatherings, arguing that it is “their sacred duty to warn others of God’s anger.” When criticized, Phelps’ followers say they are protected in doing so by the First Amendment. Phelps is the pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), an independent Baptist church in Topeka, Kansas.

On Friday, the group will be marching at the Chabad of Great Neck located at 400 East Shore Road in Great Neck.

Counter-activists have been urging Jews to be present at the rally site in Boro Park to ensure that the Neo-Nazis attempted rally is halted before it even starts.

Matzav.com spoke with the New York City Police Department, which stated that it was not aware of the rally, but added that NYPD officers will respond if there is a need.

There are some great ways to counter-protest these loons. When they start chanting stupid things like "white power" you answer "WIFE power?" "yes, WIFE POWER!" with signs of women. :D

There are a lot of videos on YouTube of this.
