Tensions ran wild in Midtown on Sunday as thousands of fuming New Yorkers with ties to Israel and Palestine marched in dueling protests.
Authorities did everything they could to separate pro-Israel and pro-Palestine demonstrators who flooded streets called for each other’s blood.
This came after the Democratic Socialist Party announced they would be holding a “free Palestine” protest in Times Square on Oct. 8 after Palestinian forces invaded Israel, killing and kidnapping hundreds. The gathering was deemed poor taste by many elected officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul who denounced the action as “abhorrent.”
