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..”

Covering a pro Ukraine protest in NYC to “Save Azov Stal” and support the controversial Azov Battalion. Many protesters gathered with supportive signs dawning the battalion symbol with includes a wolfsangel, a symbol also used by an SS panzer division
One pro Ukraine protester has a
“Azov =/= Nazis, Azov = Patriots”
The protester included the azov battalions logo which uses the infamous wolfsangel
Protesters I spoke to denied any nazi connections to the group
Another pro Ukrainian protester with an Azov battalion logo on their sign describes the group as
-simple folks
-become fighters against Russian invasion to fight for Ukrainian freedom
When asked about the symbolism of the battalion logo she also denies any nazi connection
Last week community activists “took back” and claimed a vacant retail space that was under construction. Today construction workers tried to “claim the space” and police were called
First thing I saw when I pulled up was a police line across from activists securing the door that’s been smashed. I’m unsure how many if anyone is still in the space
Officers work to clear the door as some activists argue with them and others point me out
Going to tweet thread my POV of the January 6th riot, many unreleased clips I was too lazy to upload in the past, and some interviews I had with rioters on the Capitols steps
I pulled up once people already breached most of the Capitol area, here’s the first thing I saw
Here’s another shot of the large crowd outside the Capitol. Mostly peaceful trump supporters with American flags just hanging around Capitol grounds, although some already breached the Capitol building at this point
This was the first person I interviewed, who just exited the Capitol after being pepper sprayed
When asked the protester said as of then the election wouldn’t be overturned but was seeking transparency in the election process
