posted by Hannity Staff - 12.26.23

Pro-Palestinian protesters hit the streets of New York City on Monday and clashed with members of the NYPD; multiple arrests were made.

The crowd of more than 500 people chanted things like “Long live the intifada,” “While Ur Shopping Bombs are Dropping,” and “No Joy In Genocide.”

The protesters swarmed the popular tourist areas, including the Rockefeller Christmas Tree.

From The New York Post:

A few scuffles broke out in the crowd after nightfall, including outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral, which sent cops running through the mob.

At least six arrests — four for disorderly conduct, one for menacing and one for graffiti — were later reported near Grand Central Station and Union Square, as protesters and cops clashed, according to law enforcement sources.

As the crowd thinned at Union Square Monday night, dozens of protesters waving the Palestinian flag remained. At least one person was seen being arrested by police there.

They left “Zionism is terrorism” and “Free Palestine” stickers and “Murdered by Israel” flyers on the exterior of the Union Square Holiday Market.

Some scrawled pro-Palestinian slogans, including “From NY to Gaza, Globalize the Intifada,” “Netanyahu is a warmonger” and “Israel kills babies.”

Footage of the protests was circulated widely on social media.
