On Sunday night, a group of individuals without religious belief attempted to disrupt the Ypsilanti, Michigan Christmas Tree Lighting.
This was in response to a demand for a ceasefire resolution put forward by leftist activists who are opposed to the State of Israel.
The group comprised of members from the LGBT community, Antifa, socialists and pro-Palestinian groups disrupted festivities for Michigan families attending a Christmas carol event and tree lighting.
They shouted slogans such as “America is a terrorist state” which forced the crowd to relocate to the Freighthouse.
This unfortunate incident ruined an evening that was meant to be enjoyed by all.

The secular left is attempting to eradicate Christmas.

The families were forced to move.
