On Thursday, thousands of anti-Israel activists protested adjacent to the United Nations and in the streets of Manhattan against the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Around a dozen people were arrested.

Activists waved Hamas flags and even had a fake blood soaked effigy of Netanyahu to protest Israel’s war against Palestinian terrorists and Netanyahu’s speech to the UN scheduled for Friday.



While the protests outside the UN in the morning remained peaceful, NYPD arrested around a dozen activists who grew violent on Thursday evening in the streets outside the Loews Regency Hotel where Netanyahu was staying, according to the New York Times. A separate protest Thursday morning near the United Nations headquarters saw 25 people arrested.



Nerdeen Kiswani, the leader of the violent pro-Hamas group Within Our Lifetime, led her followers in chants calling for the end of the Jewish state outside the hotel during the Flood Manhattan for Lebanon protest.



Activists waving Hamas flags and carrying signs that read “New York For Hezbollah” chanted for an “intifada” while marching at various New York City landmarks including Madison Square Park and Grand Central Station.



Radicals marched on the Metropolitan Museum of Art after Nerdeen told them that embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams and other Democrats were gathered there for an event for the UN General Assembly.



Terrorist supporters were joined in the streets by anti-police and other left-wing radicals throughout the evening to support various causes.



As night fell, violent activists blocked streets, scuffled with police, and threw smoke bombs as police began making arrests.

Activists even threw trash into the streets to try and hinder bicycle police from pursuing them.

Those are Palestinian flags, not "Hamas flags". Tens of thousands protested Netanyahu's war crimes against the civilian population of Gaza. Most of the UN diplomats walked out. According to the NYT he spoke to a largely emptied hall. Netanyahu just ordered the murder of hundreds of Lebanese civilians by bombing Beirut homes rationalizing it with the absurd claim that Lebanese families had missiles in their houses. Right, and missile launchers under their beds no doubt. Hezbollah has extensive tunnel system in mountain rock large enough to drive semi trucks through & has no need to put missiles in civilian homes. Netanyahu's Mossad just carried out the largest act of terrorism since 9/11 by maiming thousands of Lebanese, including medical professionals & civil servants who rely on pagers in their jobs. Even a few dozen arrests among the masses of tens or hundreds of thousands of protesters is trivial. According to NYT, the protest was co-organized by the Jewish Voice for Peace.
