The story behind the viral photo of Muslim and Jewish children protesting at O'Hare

A Muslim and a Jewish father had never met before bringing their children to O'Hare International Airport Monday to join in a protest of President Donald Trump 's immigration ban. But after a photograph showing their son and daughter interacting went viral, they decided to bring their families together next week for dinner to celebrate peace.

Bendat-Appell brought his son to the airport after his weekly swimming lesson to help show the boy how to stand up for what they believe in. The boy's maternal grandparents were Holocaust survivors who spent time in refugee camps, Bendat-Appell said. And as a rabbi at the Institute for Jewish Spirituality in New York, Bendat-Appell said he believes strongly in using history to guide actions.

Yildirim, a store manager from Schaumburg, had come to the airport with his wife and four children to bring cookies to the lawyers offering pro bono services to immigrants that had been detained.

When the children jumped off their father's shoulders, Adin happily approached the little girl and asked her name. Meryem, a bit shy, managed a "hello" before the fathers exchanged phone numbers.

When they started hearing from hundreds of friends and acquaintances, they texted each other, in awe of the way the small moment became momentous.

As the response grew, they spoke on the phone and finalized plans for a Shabbat dinner at the Bendat-Appells' home next week.

At the airport I had a sign that said “Japanese-Americans in Solidarity with Muslims” and at one point I was directly across the street from a guy that had a sign that said “Japanese-Americans Against Unjust Detention”! I waved at him until he saw me and then we gave each other thumbs up signs.

The coolest part of the demonstration was when the Gyro Chef food truck rolled through slowly and everyone cheered. The trailer had loudspeakers blasting the Star-Spangled Banner and there were signs all over that said stuff like “Proud Iranian-American Immigrant” and “I Love America” and “I Respect You, You Respect Me”. I was hoping he’d give everyone free gyros, but he didn’t (to be fair there were like five thousand people there). It was great advertisement for his business, so if you’re in Atlanta, eat at Gyro Chef!

‘Sanctuary City’ Mayors Vow to Defy Trump’s Immigration Order

City officials, from New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, New Haven, Syracuse and Austin, Tex., said they were prepared for a protracted fight.

Martin J. Walsh, Boston: “To anyone who feels threatened today, or vulnerable, you are safe in Boston. We will do everything lawful in our powerful to protect you. If necessary, we will use City Hall itself to shelter and protect anyone who’s targeted unjustly. They can use my office, they can use any office in this building. They’ll be able to use this building as a safe space.”

Bill de Blasio, New York: “We’re going to defend all of our people regardless of where they come from, regardless of their immigration status.”

Rahm Emanuel, Chicago: “I want to be clear: We’re going to stay a sanctuary city. There is no stranger among us. Whether you’re from Poland or Pakistan, whether you’re from Ireland or India or Israel and whether you’re from Mexico or Moldova, where my grandfather came from, you are welcome in Chicago as you pursue the American dream.”

Ed Lee, San Francisco, with Sam Liccardo (San Jose) and Libby Schaaf (Oakland): “We will not give in to threats, or political grandstanding. Together, the Bay Area will stay true to our values of inclusiveness, compassion and equality, and united against any and all efforts to divide our residents, our cities, and our country.”

cumaeansibyl replied to your post “can you explain 3-0??? i don't understand :(”

"per curiam," which is Latin for either "we were so rushed we had to copy-paste a bunch of clerks' emails to make this" or "regular unanimity does not express how much we want you to fuck yourself." probably some of both in this instance!
