I just got to the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at NYU. Looks like cops put up barricades around the encampment. People are here outside the barricades to show solidarity with the students. NYU students demand that NYU divest from Israel, close NYU Tel Aviv, & get cops off campus.

NYPD cop Anthony Smith (badge #: 23039) is here spying on protesters outside of NYU’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment.

“Over 40,000 dead!
NYU your hands are red!”

Pro-Palestine protesters are marching now outside of NYU.

Anarchists in NYC redecorated multiple Chase banks near Wall Street yesterday for its investments in Israeli weapons company Elbit Systems.

“Funder of genocide”, “Drop Elbit”, & “Free Gaza” were written in blood red paint, & the doors were chained & sealed shut with spray foam.

Chase Bank is the 6th largest stockholder in Elbit Systems. Even though NYPD tried to quickly take off the chains & foam & open the doors, much of the blood red paint still remains.

Here’s some more pics that were sent to me:

Here’s the group’s communique:

An anti-imperialist anti-colonialist actionist group in NYC dropped a banner reading "Gaza" & "فلسطين " in blood red letters from the highest level of the George Washington Bridge on Monday.

"We won’t stop until they stop, until Palestine and all of our people are free."

The group locked the banner with 4 locks for every letter in GAZA & then threw the keys into the Hudson River.

"For the first time in the bridge's colonial history, a banner and the Palestinian flag waved for the cars that crossed the lower deck of the bridge."

Here's the text of their communique:

NYPD Lt. Ben Kurian, one of the 2 cops who harassed & attacked migrant men in Times Square, once brutalized off-duty cop Larry Jackson & choked him w/ a baton.

The lawsuit cost NYC $5million.

Kurian was never disciplined for it. Instead, he was promoted. nbcnewyork.com/news/local/cop…

"According to a federal civil rights complaint, Lt. Ben Kurian, the cop seen on bodycam video wrestling with a migrant who was resisting arrest on a Times Square sidewalk, was once part of a group of officers accused of beating and choking a man in his own home back in 2011."

"According to the lawsuit, Kurian was responding to a 911 call about a disturbance at a birthday party when he allegedly used a baton to place the homeowner in a "choke hold" that was "so tight, he could hardly speak or breathe.""

#FreePalestine protesters marched in NYC yesterday for a #MLKDay March for Healthcare with stops at the United Nations HQ, Gracie Mansion, & medical institutions that have punished pro-Palestine healthcare workers. NYPD surveilled & repressed the march & made one brutal arrest.

#FreePalestine protesters marched in NYC yesterday for a #MLKDay March for Healthcare. There was a gaggle of pro-Israel (& pro-NYPD of course) trolls at Union Square where protesters were rallying. Lots of cops surrounded them to guard them. Protesters heckled the trolls.

Along with heckling a gaggle of Zionist bigots who showed up to troll, protesters played pro-Palestine music.
