Other protesters set US flags on fire and chanted “death to America”.
Videos show at least one masked activist proudly displaying Hezbollah’s flag with the image of an assault rifle and the words: “The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon.”
An NYPD officer tried to put some distance between the marchers and counterprotesters including Laura Loomer, a well-known Jewish Donald Trump supporter.
Loomer,protested, “That is a terrorist flag!”
She later claimed on X that she was “assaulted, harassed for being Jewish, screamed at by grown men, had my life threatened by a man in a HAMAS Bandana, and witnessed countless innocent New Yorkers get accosted by terrorist supporters.”
Several female activists then ganged up on Loomer, making fun of her appearance and telling her, “Kill yourself!” but she would not back down.
A man wearing a keffiyeh scarf wrapped around his head and holding a defaced Israeli flag riddled with holes shot back, “Israel is a pariah state.”
A woman yelled, “We love Hezbollah!” while another protester could be heard yelling that “America is a terrorist state!”
The mob later stopped traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge, and proceeded to cause havoc outside Barclay’s Center, Borough Hall and inside City Point Mall.
Shai Davidi, a pro-Israel professor at Columbia Business school who is active on Twitter, posted a series of tweets in response to the insanity.
I've seen and shared many disturbing videos over the past six months, but I've never seen anything like this.
These were the sights today in New York City. Not in Rafah. Not in Kabul. In New York City.
This is domestic terrorism.

This is domestic terrorism.
Protestors waving the yellow and green Hezbollah flag. Hezbollah is an Iranian-backed foreign terrorist organization based in Lebanon.
And now in New York City. A protestor wearing the Hamas green headband – the same one worn by Hamas terrorists during the October 7th Massacre.
Hamas is an Iranian-backed foreign terrorist organization based in Gaza and the West Bank.
And now in New York City. Protestor calling “Death to America.”
This is domestic terrorism.
An Jewish American student from @Columbia showed up to counterprotest. They burnt his U.S. flag, lit his shirt on fire, and shouted “Death to America”
No arrests were made.
Protestor’s response to the burning of the American flag: “Burn it down again and again and again” Protestor praising the burning of the American flag and saying that Bin Laden “did what he had to do”
This is domestic terrorism.
Within Our Lifetime is the organization behind these protests.
If you take one thing away from this, then let this be it: Within Our Lifetime – the organization behind these protests – should be declared a Domestic Terrorist Organization.
It doesn’t matter if you’re Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, or an Atheist.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a liberal or a conservative.
It doesn’t matter if you support Biden or Trump.
If you are an American, this should trouble you.
This is a threat to America.
These scum were allowed into our country supported by libs and libyidds .
They should all be deported. Drop them in Iran.
They are most likely funded by other countries, like Russia or even Iran. It just doest make sense how they just pop up as soon as Israel is attacked, not the other way around.
I think it is GREAT that these protesters scream “DEATH TO AMERICA” and profess their allegiance to Hazbollah. Except for the unemployed losers that already joined them, they will not get many people to agree with them. More likely, people will realize what Israel is dealing with.
Now we all understand the Trump Muslim ban
Not much shock considering this has been building up for the last few years. They just need an excuse to start a real pogrom .
and if nothing done soon it will spural to point of no return.20 years ago no one would dare
