“We are not like other groups simply calling for a cease-fire,” added the woman, wearing a T-shirt of one
of the event’s organizers, the radical leftist group Within Our Lifetime.

“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.”

The anti-Israel mob included all ages, from young children to 20-somethings to gray-haired elders.

“Say it loud, say it clear, we don’t want no Zionists here!” protesters cheered while beating on drums and
waving Palestinian flags.

“We will free Palestine within our lifetime!” the crowd cried, holding signs reading, “Zionism is genocide”
and “Resistance is justified when people are occupied.”

Worst attack on Israel in 50 years: How we got here

2005: Israel unilaterally withdraws from the Gaza Strip over three decades after winning the territory
from Egypt in the Six-Day War.

2006: Terrorist group Hamas wins a Palestinian legislative election.

2007: Hamas seizes control of Gaza in a civil war.

2008: Israel launches military offensive against Gaza after Palestinian terrorists fired rockets into the
town of Sderot.

2023: Hamas launches the biggest attack on Israel in 50 years.

Over 1,400 Israelis are dead, more than 4,200 are wounded and at least 100 were taken hostage, with
the death toll expected to rise after Hamas terrorists fired thousands of rockets and sent dozens of
militants into Israeli towns.

Hamas terrorists were seen taking female hostages and parading them down the street in horrifying
videos.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced “ We are at war ” and vowed Hamas would pay “a
price it has never known.”

Gaza health officials report at least 3,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 12,500 injured.

“Please keep the world clean!” the sign read.

Many attendees weren’t surprised by Saturday’s show of force for the rally, which was promoted as a
demonstration for the “end [of] US-sponsored genocide in Gaza.”

“It’s Brooklyn, so it’s little Palestine,” one protester named Amy said.

“We are calling for full liberation of all of Palestine . . . to every single inch, from river to the sea,” shouted one protester,
repeating a refrain used by Hamas terrorists and their anti-Israel backers.

“I’m here because I’ve been feeling angry about what’s happening, and coming out here and yelling in
support with the community is a good thing for everyone.”

City Councilmember Ari Kagan ripped the protesters, stating the demonstration was calling for further
violence under the guise of a rally for freedom.

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,”
the Jewish Republican representing part of southern Brooklyn said on X.

Protesters brandished signs reading “Zionism is genocide” and “resistance is justified when people are occupied.”
James Keivom

“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.”

Other critics took to social media to tear into the marchers for their radical demand calling for the end of
Israel.

“Whole neighborhood are Hamas supporters. Disgusting,” one seethed on X.

“This Bay Ridgeite thinks if Hamas didn’t kill >1,000 civilians, including the beheadings of women and
children, they wouldn’t be in this predicament,” another wrote .

The NYPD confirmed that an unspecified number of demonstrators were taken custody.

Demonstrations have erupted since Hamas terrorists descended on Israel, murdering 1,400 people,
including babies and children. The attack unleashed war as Israel vowed to destroy Hamas.

In one Manhattan demonstration against the conflict, angry pro-Palestinian supporters displayed
swastikas and burned an Israeli flag.

On Friday, 139 pro-Palestinian protesters attending a demonstration organized by the Democratic

Socialists of America were arrested for blocking traffic in Manhattan.
