More than 7,000 anti-Israel protesters shut down the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday, marching to cheer on the Hamas terrorist group amid Israel's incursion into Gaza.
"Freedom by any means, land back by any means," a 24-year-old man shouted during the three-mile Flood Brooklyn for Gaza march, the New York Post reported.The protest was like many around the world, but this one began near the Jewish Hasidic Lubavitcher headquarters where a Sabbath festival was being held, according to the Post.
"We're mobilizing all across New York City, flooding Brooklyn," to call for the "liberation each and every single Palestinian," said 21-year-old protester Abdullah Akl. "We are here as New Yorkers to say that we're against this and we're against the politicians, the local politicians as well like New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York State Gov. Kathy Hochul, who have both pledged unconditional support to Israel," Kiswani said.
