Anti-Israel Activists Hijack May Day Protests in New York City
“to voice support for the Palestinian cause and make radical demands of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani”
When you heard that the left was gearing up for these supposedly pro-labor ‘May Day’ protests, you just knew that the anti-Israel crowd was going to try to make the day all about them. This is what they do,
A mob of protesters in New York City, many of them CUNY students, used the day to advance their message and were not shy about showing support for Hamas.
FOX News reports:
Anti-Israel NYC protesters chant support for Hamas, demand Mamdani make major changes at rally
Anti-Israel protesters gathered at Columbia University for a From Harlem to Gaza march Thursday evening to voice support for the Palestinian cause and make radical demands of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
The march marked the second anniversary of the dismantling of the Gaza Solidarity Encampments at Columbia University and the City College of New York (CCNY), as well as the infamous takeover of Columbia’s Hamilton Hall.
Students who took over the building unfurled a banner that said “Hind’s Hall,” a reference to Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old who was killed in Gaza during Israel’s war with the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
The crowd consisted of students and supporters, many clad in keffiyehs, headscarves associated with the Palestinian movement. One protester wore a “freeze the rent” button from Mamdani’s mayoral campaign, even as the group criticized the mayor.
As the group of protesters gathered outside the university gates, select members delivered speeches and messages, giving others time to join. One of the speakers said she was delivering a message from Elmina Aghayeva, a Columbia student who was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Aghayeva was released from ICE detention after a meeting between Mamdani and President Donald Trump…
When they made it to City College, the group stood within barricades set up by NYPD officers and continued chanting before getting into more speeches. After being escorted by police during the march, some protesters began taunting officers with chants of “Oink, oink, piggy, piggy, we will make your lives s—ty.” One speaker also referred to police as “f—ing pigs.”
Isn’t it fascinating that these people see New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as an ally? Is anyone surprised?
Naturally, he made an appearance at one point.
These people are exactly who you think they are.

I wonder where the Dems will hold their National Convention for 2028? Should be interesting…..please let it be Chicago….all these various groups including the Communists marching in Minneapolis will be at each other’s throats soon enough. Egg them on from the sidelines with whispers of betrayal and other means of confusion and mistrust. The film I watched of the Mn. communists showed well organized and funded groups marching for a Revolution like it is going to be 1917 Moscow again. The interviews were unbelievable with demands that copy word for word what history has already seen.
No. No Chicago. They should hold it in Gaza City. It’s appropriate.
Yesterday when I was reading the article in LI about May Day I was thinking where was the Jew hatred? Lo and behold, here it is!
mayday being a communist agenda is automatically jhatred
Hijacks?! That would assume the communists don’t support Israel’s destruction. No, it was simply another part of their core coming to the surface. It’s so unsurprising I’m surprised it rated a post.
Ditto.
Yup freezing the rent and “freeing Palestine” are the same thing. Especially as “free Palestine”
basically just means be as violent and hateful as you possibly can with no consequences!
Perhaps people should have joined the rally with signs saying “Freeze Palestine”.
Useful idoit dont realize the hijacked a commie shindig.
Why are these people still here if they’re so miserable with our way of life. There are other places they’d be much happier. They should go there. Problem solved.
correct
so they didnt hijack it
its like the msm reporting..the blmplo protests were peaceful until outside agitators showed up etc
alll bs
they are one in the same
