Pro-Palestinian rally met by Israel supporters in Midtown as Hochul slams ‘abhorrent’ demonstration after Hamas attack
NY Post ^ | 9/10/23 | Jared Downing and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators, organized by the Democratic Socialists of America, rallied Sunday in the Big Apple — stomping on and burning the Israeli flag — as Islamic terrorists in the Gaza Strip continued their assault on the Jewish state.

Scores of counter-protesters turned out in support of Israel at the Manhattan rally, too, with verbal clashes between the opposing sides escalating throughout the day and at least one skirmish breaking out near the United Nations compound in Midtown.

One attendee in the pro-Palestine camp was pictured holding up an image of a Swastika on their phone — a day after 700 Jews were slaughtered by Hamas.

The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — the party of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Jamaal Bowman and a couple dozen other prominent New York politicians, had announced the 1 p.m. rally in Times Square on Saturday just hours after Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel that left hundreds dead and thousands wounded.

The announcement drew immediate condemnation from Gov. Kathy Hochul, who called the planned demonstration “abhorrent and morally repugnant.”

These Pro-Palestinian savages are showing the world who they are: Nazi goons who want to bring genocide to the Jews.

Sounds like an insurrection to me.

I watched a lengthy video of that event that showed the pro-Israel demonstrators on one side of the street and the pro-“Palestinian” antagonists on the other. The difference couldn’t have been more stark. The pro-Israel crowd was peaceful and orderly, and they looked like normal well groomed, neatly dressed people. The anti-Israel crowd, on the other hand, was totally out of control, jeering, taunting, shouting vile things, and they looked like a bunch of filthy animals. I found it doubly interesting that their group also had some hangers-on who looked and acted like the typical domestic “dindunuffins.” Birds of a feather.

I’m sick of all of ‘em, the animalistic third worlders as well as the equally depraved domestic “n-words” (referring only to the violence-worshipping gangs of thugs that infest the inner cities, and who are increasingly spreading into other areas). Collectively, they are a plague on the world, deriving pleasure from preying on innocent people. None of the people who act like this contribute anything to this world except pain, misery, and death, and if there is any justice at all their own demise will come soon and will be every bit as excruciating as the violence they inflicted upon their victims.

Agree. I’m sure the forces of the Department of Justice will handle this as they did Jan.6. /S

I don’t know any Jews who voted for The Squad. Doubtless they exist, but for all I know they’re happy as a pig in sh!t that Israel was attacked. They’re nuts.

I think it is time for whomever the new speaker is to condemn DSA as a terrorist/anti-American organization which needs to be dismantled, its leaders arrested and sent to Gitmo.

The elected officials who participated in this demonstration to show they stand with terrorists MUST face punishment for this. They represent our government!

Hired protestors and flags supplied. How did they come up with so many Israeli flags so quickly? I can’t believe they are so common and available over night.

Pharaoh had the right idea.

He burned Gaza to the ground, then gave it to Solomon for a wedding present.................

“Pharaoh had the right idea.

Like the US sent down fliers warning people in Nagasaki and Hiroshima... Israel should warn anyone in Gaza to ‘get out’ immediately... and then fire-bomb the place to rubble.... and then bull-doze everything flat. Anyone still left hiding in the tunnels would be buried alive. First the warning, second the clearing and cleaning. That would solve their idiotic “assault by rockets” problem.

The Gaza peace deal was violated immediately and wasn’t worth squat. This clearing and cleaning should have been done immediately after that peace deal was broken. But even Israelis suffer from normalcy bias, apparently. This is what always happens when you allow evil to grow and fester. This is what America is also stupidly doing wrong. We will ‘also’ learn the hard way, sadly.

The Koran allows fake 'deals' and they can lie to their enemies with impunity. So any 'treaty' with an Islamic entity is not worth the paper it is written on..............
