Mobs of people waving Palestinian flags and holding signs ran wild in New York City this weekend. Police unsuccessfully tried to contain the crowds at certain points, but the mob was allowed to advance, for the most part.
This type of activity is only increasing, and the temperature keeps rising. The city needs to take control.
The New York Post reports:
Pro-Palestinian protesters took to the streets of New York City again Saturday, storming Times Square after they were rebuffed as they tried to enter the American Museum of Natural History for the second weekend in a row.The protest, which started at the Upper West Side museum at 2 p.m., included the expectation that demonstrators would enter the institution two hours later for an “anti-colonial tour.”Around 200 anti-Israel demonstrators gathered outside the museum by 4 p.m., carrying signs and chanting, “Free Palestine,” along with antisemitic slogans like, “there is only one solution, Intifada revolution.”Within Our Lifetime, the group that organized Saturday’s protest, asked demonstrators to show up to the museum in “small groups” adorned with Palestinian flags and banners, according to an Instagram post…Marchers who have joined the Within Our Lifetime rallies in recent weeks have vandalized buildings like the New York Public Library, including spraying graffiti and breaking glass doors…They were also seen going into the Shops at Columbus Circle, another spot they targeted last week.One protester got violent after a few men began shouting at demonstrators while they marched down Columbus Avenue.
People tore down posters of missing Israelis.
The mob stormed a McDonald’s restaurant.
And a Starbucks.
The shopping center at Columbus Circle.
This is not going to win them any support.
This is a mob. Plain and simple.
This is becoming normalized and that should not be allowed to happen.
