Hundreds of people gathered in Times Square for a protest supporting Palestinians after a Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.
The assault led to over 800 deaths and thousands of injuries, prompting Israel to declare war for the first time in 50 years.
The Democratic Socialists of America organized the demonstration, featuring members from “the Squad” in the U.S. House of Representatives. (Poll: Was Trump better than Biden? VOTE)

The DSA said, “Today’s events are a direct result of Israel’s apartheid regime – a regime that receives billions in funding from the United States.”
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said, “People of Israel are facing violent terrorist attacks and civilian kidnappings” saying the rally was “abhorrent and morally repugnant.”
The protesters chanted, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Protesters were seen carrying signs that read, “Resistance is justified when people are occupied.”
Radical Islamic terrorists arrived in vans and shot at least 260 people attending a music festival in Israel. Israel was hit in several locations by more than 2,000 rockets.
The attack occurred roughly one month after President Joe Biden approved the release of $6 billion to Iran, which is a state sponsor of terrorism in the region. (Trending: Democrats Prioritize Illegals Over U.S. Military Veterans)
Although funds were intended to be used for “humanitarian causes,” critics say the actual use of the funds cannot be properly audited.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. is working to verify the American deaths and disappearances of Americans.
A specific number was not provided, but Blinken alluded to “several.”
Israel’s minister for strategic affairs Ron Dermer confirmed that Hamas hostages include American citizens.
“We have a lot of dual citizens in Israel,” Dermer said.
