“No Work, No School” and no shame!
New York City residents and the NYPD are bracing for anti-Israel protests throughout the city, planned for Monday, October 7.
It will mark the one-year anniversary of the savage terror attack of Hamas terrorists on Israel in the holiday of Simchas Torah. They murdered 1200 people, injured many more and kidnapped 251 people to Gaza.
Many anti-Israel groups are planning demonstrations for Monday, in particular, the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), which is orchestrating a nationwide “Week of Rage” on college campuses beginning on Oct. 7.
The anti-Israel organizations “Within Our Lifetime” (WOL) called on protestors to “flood New York City for Palestine” to mark the anniversary of the assault that killed around 1,200 people in Israel.
Last week, WOL amassed in the hundreds for a demonstration outside the Loews Regency New York Hotel where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was staying before addressing the United Nations.
“On Monday October 7th Flood New York City For Palestine, stand with Gaza and uplift the Palestinian people resisting genocide by any means necessary since 1948,” the group wrote in a post to X.
“Call out of work and school, take to the streets and join us throughout the day.”
The protests are expected to be spread out across the city from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with a flyer for the event calling for gathering at Wall Street, City Hall, Washington Square Park, Union Square, Grand Central, Times Square and Columbus Circle.
Law-enforcement sources said the NYPD would be out in full force, including working extra shifts and on their days off.
This is in addition to the extra security coverage by the NYPD at Shuls, Yeshivas and other houses of worship as Jews worldwide marked Rosh Hashanah.
Mayor Eric Adams announced the extra security measures at a press briefing last week.
“While we acknowledge that the city will respect and protect people’s right to peacefully protest, there will be a zero tolerance for those who violate the law, impede traffic and damage property while doing so,” Adams said.
