On the ground in Bay Ridge Brooklyn for the Palestinian #Nakba74 protest

At last years nakba protest in bay ridge an anti Zionist Jewish trans person was assaulted by a man draped in a Palestinian flag after allegedly arguing with a neturei karta member

The crowd begins to chant: “from New York to Palestine, globalize the intifada”

This is a soft call for violence against Jews globally, as the second intifada was characterized by terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians with suicide bombings, vehicle attacks, etc.

One of the main organizers of this nakba protest @WOLPalestine has made a hit list of “Zionist charities” … “feel free to use this map as a guide to know who your enemy is”

Jewish anti Zionist group neturei karta stands around as Palestinian activists cheer for the only “one solution”

Pro Palestinian crowd chants: “There is only ‘one solution’ intifada revolution”

To commemorate the nakba Palestinian activists in bay ridge chant

“Resistance is justified, when people are occupied”

&

“We don’t want two states, we want all of it”

Pro Palestinian signs and shirts:

“Jews against apartheid”

“Intifada until victory”

Activists and protest marshals begin to notice me and block my camera ironically while chanting for justice for the slain Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh

Protest marshals call me a scumbag and tell me to fuck off. They communicate with earpieces and walkie talkies

Palestine protest marshals chant “from the river to the sea” at a reporter and force him to leave the protest

Some of the Palestine protest marshals letting me know I’m not welcome. Most marshals are wearing yellow armbands, some have walkie talkies and ear pieces. The Yankees hat one talked the most shit, the other guy mostly blocked my cam

One marshal was a pleasant looking lady with a yellow armband signifier and a shirt advocating for violence against Jews globally

Her buddies told her I was a baddie after she politely let me take her picture

Spotted a man at the protest wearing a shirt of the “RAF,” Red Army Faction communist terrorist group

Scenes from Brooklyn: Radical communist photographer, Palestine protest marshals with yellow armbands eyeing me wherever I go as they chant “there is only one solution, intifada revolution”

The falafel and hummus was iight

One lead Palestinian activist demonizes unapproved media: “they infiltrate our rallies and marches to take pictures of us..”
