As tensions rise throughout Israel – with rockets being aimed at Jerusalem and now Tel Aviv, violent riots engulfing the country and world leaders condemning both sides for the conflict – the conflict is beginning to spew over onto American streets, with pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian protests are breaking out across the United States. On Tuesday, pro-Palestinian protesters held a demonstration outside the Israeli consulate in Manhattan, New York. Hundreds gathered for the demonstration to voice their condemnation of Israel, blaming it for the recent escalations, in support of the Palestinian people.
The demonstration, dubbed the “Emergency Rally for Palestine,” featured a flyer that instructs pro-Palestinian protesters to show up in masses at the Israeli consulate in New York. The word “Israeli” was crossed out in the flyer, however. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” it read. Embassy staff were sent home on Tuesday due to safety concerns, according to Fox News. A smaller group of pro-Palestinian protesters ended up clashing with a contingent of counter pro-Israel demonstrators positioned along the marching route of the “Emergency Rally for Palestine” protest, which ran down 42nd Street. Both sides of protesters, who were each barricaded off from one another, lunged past police officers to attack one another after a heated exchange of words took place.

In video posted on social media, the two sides could be seen going at it, exchanging verbal assaults, when finally a male pro-Palestinian protesters broke through barricades and police officers to attack a pro-Israel protester. The assault sent three bystanders from the pro-Israel side, who were caught up in the scuffle, to the floor after losing their balance in the skirmish. Tensions boiled over into the streets as the fight ended up sparking other scattered scuffles around the scene. In another video, a man covered in blood was seen being escorted by police to safety after a chair was allegedly thrown at him for making distasteful comments towards pro-Palestinian protesters, according to social media reports.

De Blasio is all for the terrorists / Palestinians. Secondly, many Jewish people vote for de Blasio / Democrats. The Democrats are no friends of the Jewish people.
YET THE DUNCS keep voting in a mass BLOCK FOR those same dems. Which is why i have little sympathy for them left.
So why weren’t these people arrested. People don’t you get that Islam and democracy don’t mix. We already know that their religion and Judaism don’t mix. Yes Christianity too.
I guess the common denominator does not make any sense to people any more, by removing it.
Yes, true but Jewish people keep voting for Democrats, they will have to use a little more critical thinking and common sense in future elections! Proverbs 26:11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness. (Written by Solomon the richest man in Israel 960 B.C.)
Amendment 1: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
OUR Government. Rag Heads are not protected in protests in the U.S. against any foreign government.
So why were these protesters NOT arrested for assault and battery?
It appears that anyone except Republicans can get away with anything in New York city. Their laws only apply to Republicans.
BECAUSE these days, laws ONLY seem to apply, TO we white/conservatives anymore..
There are no indigenous Palestinians that do not include Israelis, that’s real history. The British Mandate after WWI was broken up @ 1948 part was made into the country of Israel where Jews had been living for centuries but not converted to Islam which is the cusp of the matter. They did not succumb to the harsh treatment and tortures meted out by ‘devout’ Muslims, who now stiil a majority in the area want it all to include the eradication of Jews and Israel!
Israel needs to just go into Gaza and remove all the Palestinians and set up a no man’s land
Great—one more reason to riot.
ITS getting to a point, if Starwars was real, i’d just PARK AN ISD right over EVERY AREA the palestinians are in, and full on BASE DELTA ZULU them…
