Intimidation is the stock in trade of jihadis and their allies everywhere.
“Pro-Palestinian protesters shut down Grand Central Station in NYC,” by Michael Starr, Jerusalem Post, April 8, 2025:
Betar warned all Jews in the area to avoid Grand Central Station in a post on X/Twitter. The account added that the protesters were masked and armed.
Activists wearing keffiyehs entered the American landmark waving Palestinian flags and banging drums in response to a global strike called for by Palestinians over the ongoing war in Gaza, WOL leader Nerdeen Kiswani explained in a social media post.
Kiswani said the NYPD had shut down the entrances to the station because the authorities didn’t want people to hear their message. She mentioned elsewhere that law enforcement had attempted to block them from entering the station but failed.
The WOL X account, however, also bragged that “Pro-Palestine protesters shut down entrances to Grand Central.”
“We just wanted to platform our message to one of the largest transportation hubs in the world,” Kiswani said on X….
Kiswani claimed that heavy objects were thrown at the protesters from the windows of the buildings above them. This reportedly included garbage water and a bag of feces. The WOL leader emphasized that the projectiles could have killed someone and smashed a car windshield. She also claimed that she was assaulted by police when she attempted to report the matter.
“This is what being Palestinian or even supporting Palestine looks like in New York: Zionists can commit acts of violence with impunity,” said Kiswani. “Palestinians and our allies can’t even gather without facing repression.’…

All it will take is one out of control protester to get the mob to destroy and to kill. And with the masks they will escape identification. This will happen sooner than we think. The brownshirts are back
Rick Gordon says
Very true – there is little hope for such ignorance, hate, and stupidity.
Mike Kennedy says
The army should have gone in and taken these people out using what ever force is necessary. Hamas is an enemy to all mankind, but especially to isrealis and Americans. Try these people as enemy combatives.

Amen

Protests of this kind are illegal. A protest must be within certain bounds to be considered legal.
These people are terrorists. Would Al Capone and his gang have been allowed to do what these ghouls have done and not be arrested? Would John Gotti….a really terrible criminal… and his mafia gang have been allowed to do this in support of their criminal enterprise?
All who took part should be behind bars, waiting for court hearings. Instead, the leader of the goons is complaining that they were mistreated. Psychopaths are always the *victims.*

“ The WOL leader emphasized that the projectiles could have killed someone and smashed a car windshield.”
If a projectile had killed a protestor, so be it. As they say, no big loss.
If it had broken a windshield, that’s another story. Find the person who threw it and make him pay for a new windshield

The left doesn’t like bottles of piss being chucked when it’s at them?

If someone is caught in NYC with a gun legal in any other state, they get arrested.
These thugs weren’t arrested? Is NYC capitulating to those who BLEW UP TWO BUILDINGS not that long ago?
And the feds should arrest ALL of them on terrorism charges. Anyone not a citizen goes to Gitmo until trial.
Huapakechi says
Any “protester” not a citizen can enjoy a ride to El Salvador to join the other narco terrorists.

Is New York still a part of the US?
JDow says
I am not sure what US law says about the rights of terrorists to even a drink of water might be. I do know that terrorists are free game not protected by things like the Geneva Convention. March the National Guard into the venue and start arresting passive protestors and bystanders and shooting ones actively trying to resist, destroy property, or injure in any way anybody else.

James Lincoln says
So, just who was arrested?
OLD GUY says
If these protesters where carrying weapons they should be detained and arrested if they are not licensed to carry and if they are they should lose that carry permit if involved in a civil disturbance. Protestors who disrupt or threaten other peoples lives should be arrested. This should never be allowed to happen at a site like Grand Central Station NY. Getting away with this will only embolden them to plan and carry out more of these events around the country.

NYC: Masked and armed pro-Hamas protesters shut down Grand Central Station
……………………………..
Why is the NYPD being told to allow this?
