After nearly two hours of chaotic clambering, anti-Israel protesters marched up Sixth Avenue carrying a massive Palestinian flag that stretched across nearly the entire city street. They blocked traffic while chanting “1,12,3,4 Israel loves war!” and “Free Palestine.” Some Jewish counter-protestors on the sidewalk shouted back “release the hostages!” The anti-Israel demonstration comes on the second anniversary of the Oct. 7 terror attack in Israel carried out by Hamas which set off the prolonged conflict still raging in Gaza.
