Pro-Palestinian protesters were at it again this morning in Manhattan, blocking three bridges and one tunnel connecting the island to the rest of New York City and New Jersey.
Hundreds of arrests were made after pro-Palestinian protesters blocked traffic on the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges as well as the Holland Tunnel on Monday morning…
Around 9:30 a.m. Monday, the protesters blocked New Jersey-bound lanes of the Holland Tunnel.
Port Authority police responded and arrested 120 protesters before the tunnel reopened to traffic just after 10:30 a.m.
Here’s what that looked like (top clip) plus video of the arrests that followed as they chanted that the NYPD were the same as the KKK (bottom clip).
There are groups of activists blocking all four outbound paths to the Holland Tunnel. At the main entrance to the tunnel, protesters are now being arrested. A cop just said, to another, “Just get them one by one.” Now the activists are chanting “Let Gaza live!” pic.twitter.com/QiAKgNX9aK

Of course they were chanting “From the river to the sea.”

As always, the protesters are making friends among the commuters.
"This is New York, not Palestine, not Gaza!"

The scene was similar at the Brooklyn Bridge:

At least one driver got past the blockade after shoving some of the protesters out of the way.

As you can see in this video, protesters locked themselves together inside car wheels filled with cement.

Police eventually cut through these and made arrests.

In addition to blocking the bridges, another group of protesters stood in front of the entrance to the NY Stock Exchange.

This list of groups involved is exactly what you’d expect.
Mon Mohapatra, 30, one of the demonstrators at the Brooklyn Bridge, said the organizers on Monday represented various groups, including the Palestinian Youth Movement, Al-Awda: The Palestinian Right to Return Coalition, Democratic Socialists of America, Jewish Voice for Peace and others.
She said the protests were meant to draw a parallel to the situation in Gaza, where residents have been killed even after following orders to evacuate.
In total, 325 people were arrested. They are all facing misdemeanor charges. Now we just have to wait and see if the city with prosecute or give them a pass.
Anyone who wants to ban Moooooslims from immigrating into America is a RACIST and ISLAMOPHOBE. Just b/c these people contribute mayhem and destruction is no reason to punish the few good ones!
“...protesters locked themselves together inside car wheels filled with cement...”
Anything found blocking the bridges and tunnels should be rolled over the side into the water. Fish need structure.
People who support terrorists are terrorists and should be shot.
That includes asshats like Susan Saranwrap.
Cemented tire trick? Nothing some battery powered sawzalls couldn’t fix. Probably only have to begin cutting one arm...
The really could tick off the wrong contractor one day.
Cement filled car wheels make excellent millstone substitutes!
“Jewish Voice for Peace” is based in San Francisco and is associated with the PFLP terrorist group :
Chicago ‘Jewish Voice for Peace’ Speaker: Palestinian terrorist

A female Palestinian-Arab terrorist who murdered two Israeli students is to be a featured speaker at a Jewish Voice for Peace conference in Chicago. […]
More than half of the featured speakers listed on the Jewish Voice for Peace event’s website are Muslim or Arab.
But perhaps the most significant speaker will be Rasmea Odeh, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) who was convicted of murdering two Hebrew University students in Jerusalem in 1969. […]
Odeh was released from prison in a prisoner swap after serving ten years of her (life) sentence. …

Arrested? So what? Communist Soros judges free them.
Unless they are treated like January 6 protesters...
Eric Adams. New Yorkers deserve what they vote for.
That video of the policeman cutting that piped hand. Insane!
What a waste of police time.
Those protesters should be swimming with the fishes.
Who in their right mind would cement themselves?
Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) has also been funded in part by George Soros’ Open Society Foundation:
“... Like IfNotNow, JVP is a 501(c)(3) and has a 501(c)(4) arm. Both benefited from recent Soros grants.
The illegal pro-terrorist activities of both JVP and IfNotNow, as well as many other groups in the anti-Israel network, reflects the refusal of the IRS to enforce the tax code against the Left.
The IRS had previously found that the tax code bans funding of anti-war groups or any organization whose “primary activity is the sponsoring of…protest demonstrations in which demonstrators are urged to commit violations of local ordinances and breaches of public order.”
Such organizations don’t “qualify for exemption under section 501(c)(3) or (4) of the Code.”
IfNotNow and other anti-Israel protest groups are one of many leftist organizations whose very existence is a violation of IRS regulations. ...”
Check to see their immigration status. Anyone on a student visa or TPS needs to be on the next plane out.
Do not pass go
They should be charged with false imprisonment.
This is why I have no sympathy and no thoughts that a "ceasefire" would be anywhere close to a good idea.

325 arrested?
It hurts so much when I think of the wrist slaps and one dollar fines they’re going to be threatened with as punishment. Thankfully for them it hasn’t risen to the level of a sternly worded letter. That would be too harsh.
Really hurt them by adding soap.
Hopefully a copious number of ‘hickory shampoos’ were administered during the arrests ...
