At least 206 Jewish anti-Israel protesters were arrested Monday after hundreds rushed the New York Stock Exchange and staged a sit-in outside the Manhattan landmark, police said.
Scores of pro-Palestinian protesters wearing red shirts stormed toward the building on Broad Street in Lower Manhattan — then chained themselves to the doors just before the stock market’s opening bell at 9:30 a.m., footage shows.
A handful of demonstrators, who hail from the Jewish Voices for Peace group, could be seen removing their jackets as they set up shop outside the building — jackets they wore in a possible bid to conceal their anti-Israel attire and thwart any attempt to stop them ahead of time.
The group immediately started screaming “Free Palestine” and quickly brandished signs reading “Jews for Palestine’s freedom” as they blocked off the building and demanded the US government “fund FEMA, not genocide.”
At one point, they dressed the iconic bronze Fearless Girl statue in one of their shirts emblazoned with the phrase “Stop arming Israel.”
Roughly 200 protesters were nabbed by cops, the group’s political director, Beth Miller, told The Post, with police later confirming that 206 were booked.
Cops could be seen cuffing multiple protesters and hauling them away on Department of Correction buses.
The crowd is believed to have swelled to as many as 500 people before dispersing at noon, cops added.
“Today there were 500 Jews who came here, in front of the New York Stock Exchange, to shut down business as usual on Wall Street with a message to say the US government should stop sending weapons to the Israeli government and stop profiting from the genocide of Palestinians,” Miller told The Post.

Stand On Zanzibar, or A Torrent Of Faces.
They will have the peace of the grave.
I haveca solution for this.
I wouldn’t have thought the NY Stock Exchange was even open today....
You’re right - who can understand? It’s beyond normal people and we’re not dealing with anything resembling normal anymore!!!
I think we need a law to send all protesters to whatever country they’re supporting when it comes to differences like this..
Throw them all in the Hudson!
BTW... the NYSE should have been closed today?
“Jewish”
Like Biden is “Catholic”.
And Obama is “heterosexual”.

While both the Jewish organizations pride themselves on their “Anti-Zionist,” pro-BDS platforms, judging by their major source of funding they would more accurately be classified as progressive organizations with Jewish branding. Much of their funding comes from foundations whose main activities are not necessarily focused against Israel, but rather social agenda goals such as advancing privacy laws in the United States, unionizing workers, and lots of demonstrations against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a candidate for the Republican nomination for president who is trying to out-Trump Donald Trump.
The movement was found in San Fransisco in 1996 by three Jewish Berkely University students: Julia Kaplan, Julie Iny and Rachel Eisner. Committee members include: philosopher Noam Chomsky; author Naomi Klien; Pulitzer Prize winner Tony Kushner (“Angels in America” and “Munich”); and actor Wallace Shawn, best known as the voice of Rex in the “Toy Story” movie series.
Usual anarchists. They just change costumes.
Probably just as well, or they would be busy starting wildfires in the name of climate change.
The headline is somewhat misleading.
It first sounds like both Jewish groups and Palestinian groups were there causing problems.
I couldn’t picture huge groups of Jewish protesters doing anything like that, and certainly not an arms distance away from those Pali fanatics.
Jews for Hitler.
Chomksy was all in with the Khmer Rouge. Even when their crimes were exposed. He’s a kapo
It sounds like an insurrection.
some of them may have Jewish names, inherited from their grandparents
but they are definitely not acting according to Jewish moral teachings
in short, they’ve chosen to replace morality with communism in their lives
identifying them as Jewish in the headline (or on their own signage) is very misleading
Let’s publish their names so future employers will know what they are getting.
The left is a suicide cult, the Jewish left doubly so.
bttt
No bail. Full jail time including max fine.
No exceptions, no excuses.
And once they’re in those countries, they have to stay there never to return to America 🇺🇸.
