Thousands of Pro-Palestine protestors have taken to the streets of New York, demanding the total eradication of Israel.
The protests labeled “Flood Brooklyn for Palestine” descended into chaos as the day turned to night.
The protestors quickly turned to riots, with many clashing with the NYPD, lighting fires and causing chaos.

The New York Post has more on the story:
The aggressive protesters dug their heels into the ground when the NYPD tried to push them out of 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue, where 5,000 ralliers converged earlier in the day to demand that the United States withdraw support for its closest ally in the Middle East.
Officers began plucking individuals out of the massive flood — as well as from the inside of one pick-up truck carrying ralliers — of the Palestine flag-waving horde in an effort to quell the out-of-control rally.
“It got pretty heated,” a law enforcement source told The Post.

Such vile people participate in these movements.
Completely missing many of the fundamental problems plaguing the Israel/Hamas conflict.
Many are so delusional they fail to comprehend that Israel is at war with a terrorist organization, not with the people of Palestine.
Even Elon Musk posted about the chaos:
This was New York tonight…

CBS News shares more on the ‘protests.’:
“I don’t see how bombing Gaza is preventing more people from joining Hamas,” demonstrator Zoe O’Brien said.
ADVERTISEMENTPolice say 139 people were taken into custody and placed on buses after blocking traffic outside of Gillibrand’s office on the East Side.
The NYPD says they were given summons for disorderly conduct.
Demonstrators say a quarter of Gaza residents are being displaced, and they’re using their voices here to help in any way they can.
Once again, many of these protestors don’t understand that Israel is not intentionally targeting civilians.
Hamas group is a terrorist organization lobbing missiles at Israel within civilian destinations.
The only alternative right now is for Israel to roll over and accept the death of their people.
Israel regularly alerts Palestinian civilians of their bombing missions.
Don’t get me wrong.
Israel has plenty of blame for this conflict occurring.
The issue is that many of these protestors and chronically online people don’t understand that the world is NOT black/white.
