Violence erupts in NYC as pro-Palestine protesters clash with police near Rockefeller Center

Pro-Palestine protesters chanted the anti-Semitic phrase “river to the sea” as they attempted to derail the annual tree lighting ceremony at the Rockefeller Center.

The actvitists swarmed the streets surrounding the Rockefeller Center on Wednesday, November 29.

Some activists were seen carrying a sign bearing a swastika, comparing the IDF to German Nazis.

NYPD officers pushed back the crowds, who and can be heard chanting “free Palestine”.

Pro-Palestinian organisers announced their plans to disrupt the festivities earlier this week.

Now you know why the countries surrounding Palestine don't want them.

What about deportation of extreme violent people that hate your country so much?

[jeanttedeleon]

when this people were not allowed to migrate they shout for racism but when they themselves are racist

Sheik Abdullah bin Zayed from UAE gave us a fair warning 5 years ago against admitting those people to our countries.
He explained, why THEY DO NOT DO THAT and he said we are ignorants taking them to our countries.

Take a good look people… This is happening in the West - in OUR countries. Remember this the next time you vote.

[thelamington]

And you wonder why Egypt, Jordan etc. won’t allow any refugees…

[YoramAizenberg]

We don't have to worry about "free Palestine" We now have to worry about "free NYC"

It’s disgusting, to see ppl from other countries living abroad and act like animals.

Countries like China, Russia, North Korea and Iran are finding this moral decline in the West wonderful, congratulations to everyone involved.

They just can't help themselves but show they are on the side of evil and violence!

[charleshowd]

Freedom of speech doesn't mean violence or stopping others enjoying their activities. Finally police are actually able to police.

'We dislike Israel. I know what, let's go and disrupt the lighting of a Christmas tree!" Perfect illustration of the absurdity of what passes for rational thought amongst these people.

The violently sanctimonious presumption of supremacy by these pro-Palestine protestors - not only over differing cultures and beliefs, but over Western Law - revolts me. My tolerance and understanding for their position is now near-drained.

[jodelyndulayan]

They should deported. They are causing chaos.

[catherinebrodie]

THIS IS ALL GETTING OUT OF HAND IT'S JUST DISCUSTING & THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT...BRING IN THE ARMY..WHY ARE THEY NOT ARRESTED.

[airborneferret]

From the Atlantic Sea to the Pacific Sea, the USA must be free!!

[sergioaragon]

I can’t believe nor understand the tolerance that America is showing to these people. See what happened to the UK and France. Don’t lose your country

[Petra]

Disrespecting our Country means it's time for them to go home!!! Our own Americans that peacefully went through our Capitol are in prison. What about these lunatics destroying, and Disrespecting our Country??

[GGG-fbf]

Ban the face masks at protests, enact regulations to Protect the police. The military should be installed.

[MrRAC]

Their Loyalty is towards their religion and not to the country they live in, they dont care if your country is destroyed
