At least 206 Jewish anti-Israel protesters were arrested Monday after hundreds rushed the New York Stock Exchange and staged a sit-in outside the Manhattan landmark, police said.

Scores of pro-Palestinian protesters wearing red shirts stormed toward the building on Broad Street in Lower Manhattan — then chained themselves to the doors just before the stock market’s opening bell at 9:30 a.m., footage shows.

A handful of demonstrators, who hail from the Jewish Voices for Peace group, could be seen removing their jackets as they set up shop outside the building — jackets they wore in a possible bid to conceal their anti-Israel attire and thwart any attempt to stop them ahead of time.

    Seriously, we should stop listening to americans, brits and germans on this. The literal rest of the world is feeling nauseous but they are still repeating propaganda while people are being massacred.

    Of course this have to do with the rise of ultranationalism. Germany for the germans, make america great again, Brexit. Isreal for the jews.

        what? They are parked in a ghetto. They just want their land back. Are the native americans nazis for wanting self-governance? Were they wrong for wanting scalps white men. No they were not.

        Were the Irish in the wrong for the homerule struggle? No of course not. The brits came and stole their land.

        Nobody want to deport israelis. White people still live in south africa as far as i know. They sure whine a lot but nobody got deported did they?

          It’s also not an either/or situation. It’s not either the Palestinians have the land or the Israelis have the land.

          The land can be shared. So can the government. And that government can be 100% secular.

              I think we can talk about it regardless of where they are. And we should talk about it. And the more people that talk about it, the closer we get to realizing it. It will, of course, take a critical mass of people in Israel to agree, but that’s exactly why you keep talking about it.

                  That’s ludicrous. You expect me to just shut my mouth about my idea of a peaceful future just because bad things are happening now? Fuck no.

                    Huh no I expect you to act according to a very simple principle of justice. Bombing hospitals is against international laws and the responsible should pay. Otherwise everything you say is just demonstrative.
