This rerouting of the march is not an abuse of freedom of expression and freedom of assembly.

As Sinn Fein said in their 1996 submission to the review on parades in Northern Ireland

>> The right to march is a democratic right. It is fundamental to the civil and human rights of all citizens.

The right to march involves freedom of assembly and freedom of political expression.

The right to march is not absolute, it is a right which carries responsibilities; it is a right which must not be misused.

In any society, especially a divided society, the right to march must be exercised with due regard for the rights of others. <<

The right of the PSC to march is an important right that must be upheld, even though those marches' expression of hatred for Israel and its people is repugnant and militates against a political settlement that respects the legitimate rights of both the Israeli and Palestinian peoples.

Nevertheless, the exercise of this right must be balanced against the right of Jews to practice their religion free from intimidation and disruption.

Rerouting the march achieves this balance.

Americans are celebrating Fourth of July with parades, cookouts and a lots of fireworks!

Inflation has also significantly reduced during this time!

Many Americans weren't letting worries about their pocketbooks keep them from traveling and enjoying fireworks as they celebrate their nation’s birth with parades, cookouts and fiery splashes of colors against the evening sky.
