A large anti-Israel protest in Brooklyn turned violent as protesters clashed with police.
The rally, called “Flood Brooklyn for Palestine,” demanded the US to cut ties with Israel and expressed anti-Zionist sentiments.
Protesters refused to disperse and engaged in disruptive actions such as lighting fires and throwing eggs at the police. (Trending: Biden Official Caught Working For Terrorists)
Today in Bay Ridge there was a rally against “Genocide in Gaza”. No speaker mentioned HAMAS atrocities against innocent Israeli civilians. And crowd chanted HAMAS slogan: “From the river to the sea Palestine will be free!” – advocating for eradication of Jews from Israel. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/VQlAkNEbwN

“It got pretty heated,” a law enforcement source told The Post. It was uncertain how many would face charges.
“Say it loud, say it clear, we don’t want no Zionists here!” drum-beating protesters yelled. “Zionism is Genocide.”
“We are not like other groups simply calling for a cease-fire,” one woman said.
“We are calling not simply for an end to genocide. We are calling for an end to the siege, an end to the blockade. An end to the occupation.” (Trending: Joe Biden Does the Unthinkable For Hamas)
This was not a rally for a two state solution or for liberation of Gaza from HAMAS or public call to free hundreds of kidnapped Israelis & Americans. It was a shameful pro-HAMAS & anti-Israel rally that I strongly condemn.

Republican City Councilmember Ari Kagan, who is Jewish, said, “This was not a rally for a two state solution or for liberation of Gaza from HAMAS or public call to free hundreds of kidnapped Israelis & Americans. It was a shameful pro-HAMAS & anti-Israel rally that I strongly condemn.”
The rally was part of a broader wave of anti-Jewish sentiment in New York City, with incidents like a Jewish deli being defaced with a swastika.
The deli, known for its pro-Israel stance, condemned the hate and highlighted the ongoing conflict’s complexities.
