Violent 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.
