NEW YORK CITY: Some 7,000 pro-Hamas Muslim and Far Left agitators storm the streets, making asses of themselves, as usual
7,000 belligerent pro-Islamic terrorist/anti-Israeli protesters — including some proudly waving Hamas, Hezbollah, Syrian, and Iranian flags — stormed through NYC on Labor Day, lighting flares and setting off smoke bombs as they marched toward the heart of the city.
NY Post (h/t Nita) The chaotic demonstrators gathered at Union Square in Manhattan in the early afternoon and began their raucous march to Washington Square Park.
Video footage shows NYPD officials attempting to halt the march, only to be shoved aside by a few of the demonstrators.
The crowd, which law-enforcement sources said hit around 7,000 at one point, waved Hamas terrorist flags along with Palestinian, Syrian, Iranian and Hezbollah banners, chanting “Free Palestine!” and, “Resistance is justified when people are occupied.” Hezbollah is a Lebanese terror group that has been fighting with the Palestinians against Israel in the Gaza war.
One protester waved a traditional Muslim keffiyeh head rag to block a TV camera, while another called a news crew “a disgrace” to the US. A counter-protester with an Israeli flag was berated by the crowd.
“Throw it away, and put that piece of hit in the garbage,” an anti-Israel demonstrator yelled. “Say it loud, say it clear, we don’t want no Zionists here!”
Others called the counter-protesters “baby-killers.”
A New Yorker who pedaled up on a Citi Bike tried to stand up to the anti-Israel mob — only to be booed and cursed out.
“I just think they’re wrong,” the man, who only wanted to be as identified as Bruce, told The Post. “I think that nobody is pushing back. You gotta push back respectfully. I think they’re misinformed.”
Four people were arrested, law-enforcement sources said.
The mass protest is just the latest show of disorder by anti-Israeli marchers since the Jewish state retaliated for the sneak attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7 — with protests spreading to college campuses in the city and throughout the nation.
