“No Work, No School” and no shame!
New York City residents and the NYPD are bracing for anti-Israel protests throughout the city, planned for Monday, October 7.
It will mark the one-year anniversary of the savage terror attack of Hamas terrorists on Israel in the holiday of Simchas Torah. They murdered 1200 people, injured many more and kidnapped 251 people to Gaza.
Many anti-Israel groups are planning demonstrations for Monday, in particular, the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), which is orchestrating a nationwide “Week of Rage” on college campuses beginning on Oct. 7.
The anti-Israel organizations “Within Our Lifetime” (WOL) called on protestors to “flood New York City for Palestine” to mark the anniversary of the assault that killed around 1,200 people in Israel.
Last week, WOL amassed in the hundreds for a demonstration outside the Loews Regency New York Hotel where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was staying before addressing the United Nations.
“On Monday October 7th Flood New York City For Palestine, stand with Gaza and uplift the Palestinian people resisting genocide by any means necessary since 1948,” the group wrote in a post to X.
“Call out of work and school, take to the streets and join us throughout the day.”
The protests are expected to be spread out across the city from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with a flyer for the event calling for gathering at Wall Street, City Hall, Washington Square Park, Union Square, Grand Central, Times Square and Columbus Circle.
Law-enforcement sources said the NYPD would be out in full force, including working extra shifts and on their days off.
This is in addition to the extra security coverage by the NYPD at Shuls, Yeshivas and other houses of worship as Jews worldwide marked Rosh Hashanah.
Mayor Eric Adams announced the extra security measures at a press briefing last week.
“While we acknowledge that the city will respect and protect people’s right to peacefully protest, there will be a zero tolerance for those who violate the law, impede traffic and damage property while doing so,” Adams said.
The fact that these events are allowed to proceed raises serious questions about how hate speech and incitement to violence are being adresed.
From one had the govement deploys police and counter terrorist forces to protect Jews and from other hand let these haters to have meetings? these is absurd or surrealistic reality that we face.
NYC is for all people to live in Peace. something went wrong in our system.
Yes what went wrong is that the more people move away from traditional values, the more extreme, violent, emotionally unstable they become.
The Rebbe tried to derail this downward spiral way back when it started in the 60s with school choice (putting parents in charge of their kids education not government or lefty activists) moment of silence (again parents should be guiding their childrens ideology) and sheva mitzvos bnei noach
255 hostage.
Absolute idiocy. Quite morbidly amusing how these uneducated people, and the world at large, do not understand the favour Israel is doing the world.
Does NY want another 9/11 or something, that they cannot bear to be parted from their lovely terrorist friends?
Besides the point such protests, that are known to be violent, should be illegal.
Which people?
Confused brainwashed college kids?
Illegal alien terrorists?
Did you check in with the local Muslims who have lived in peace with us for years and ask if these news bites speak accurately for them?
The local blacks did not instigate the BLM movement.
Are the local Muslims being blamed for instigating this hate against our community when it’s foreign forces at play in bed with the news propaganda stations?
Sheer absolute total EVIL!
Perhaps you mean antisemitic?
Is there no drawing the line anywhere? Freedom of speech allows for peaceful protests…How is supporting terrorism, on the anniversary of brutal mass murders, considered a peaceful protest?
And pray tell, who actually thinks these protests will be peaceful? (Surely not the victim in LA r’l who was killed at such an event.)
The elections are coming up
The communists really need disruption and chaos.
These agitators are the same as the BLM and antifa. See Leeroy press . He’s been documenting these same people showing up to cause trouble under different guise and causes.
They are paid violent agitators.
Isn’t it against the law to support terrorists. Where’s the LAW.
You ask if anyone checked in with the peace loving Muslims. We can’t keep checking in with them, they should be checking in with the rest of the world and making their feelings more widely known. A handful of Muslims have done so, and you can find their clips on You Tube; but for the most part they are too afraid of their fellow troublemaking Muslims to air their feelings publicly. The truth of the matter is that whether they do or don’t harbor disguised animosity towards us, more Muslims just want to be left alone to lead a peaceful… Read more »
