Anti-Israel Ivy League Protesters Who Blocked NYC Roads and Bridges Vow to Do it Again
“many of the protesters who were arrested come from privileged backgrounds and attended some of the nation’s most prestigious colleges”
Of course they vow to do it again. Even though many of them were arrested, they faced no real consequences.
The New York Post reports:
Anti-Israel Ivy League elitists who tried to paralyze NYC revealed as they vow ‘we’ll do it again’
Ivy League graduates, an artist with millionaire parents and a woman honored by the Obama White House were among the hundreds of anti-Israel radicals who brought chaos to Manhattan commuters this week.
They also included a Fulbright scholar, multiple NYU graduate students, a filmmaker for HBO and Netflix — and out-of-town protesters who gave cops home addresses as far away as Georgia and Florida.
And after being arrested and released, the protesters were defiant on social media, with one gleefully tweeting photos highlighting her involvement and another boasting: “We’ll do it again.”
The protests Monday were carefully coordinated by at least six anti-Israel groups to cause maximum disruption, with blockades of traffic out of Manhattan on the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges and at the New Jersey-bound lanes of the Holland Tunnel.
NYPD and Port Authority Police Department cops made more than 300 arrests and issued desk appearance tickets for disorderly conduct charges — meaning they were released without bail and are due back in court later this year.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg could drop or downgrade charges, but his spokesman said they are still pending.
The Post has learned many of the protesters who were arrested come from privileged backgrounds and attended some of the nation’s most prestigious colleges, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Cornell and New York University.
They gave home addresses that included tony areas of Brooklyn such as Cobble Hill, Park Slope and Prospect Heights, sources told The Post.

Arrest them again and let their posteriors get cold in Rikers
that most of the (far) leftists come from the “privileged” class and abound at the country’s (what once were considered) finest universities should come as no surprise: Karl Marx was not born into a poor family.
“Of course they vow to do it again. Even though many of them were arrested, they faced no real consequences.”
Revealed wisdom, indeed…
In the mornin’ you go gunnin’ /
For the man who stole your water /
And you fight ’til he is done in /
But they catch you at the border /
And the mourners are all sangin’ /
As they drag you by your feet /
But the hangman isn’t hangin’ /
And they put you on the street /
So, you go back, Jack, and do it again /
Wheel turnin’ round and round /
You go back, Jack, and do it again…
“We’ll do it again.”
Exactly what Hamas said about the October 7 pogrom, which, despite the ceasefire in effect, took more Jews’ lives in a single day than any day since the Holocaust.
