On Labor Day, a huge crowd of anti-Israel protesters stormed New York, marching into the city center lighting flares and setting off smoke bombs, some of them proudly waving terrorist flags.
The mob, which police sources said may have numbered up to 5,000, gathered in Manhattan's Union Square in the early afternoon before launching into a raucous march to Washington Square Park.

The crowd carried Palestinian, Syrian, Iranian and Hezbollah flags and chanted “Liberate Palestine!” and “Resistance is justified when under occupation,” Hezbollah is a Lebanese terrorist organization that has fought alongside Palestinians against Israel in the Gaza war.
In contrast, the pro-Israel rally on Sunday was peaceful and featured prominently American and Israeli flags.

On a muggy Sunday night, about 2,000 people gathered at Columbus Circle in New York. Six Israeli hostages An impromptu vigil of song, prayer and tears was held about 24 hours after news of the death of the prisoner, whose body was found in Gaza last weekend, sending shock waves through Israel and the Jewish world.

The crowd waved American and Israeli flags, some wore yellow ribbons in defence of the hostages, and some wore dog tags, shirts that read “Bring them home now” or other symbols of the fight for the hostages.
Last weekend, Hamas terrorists shot six hostages in the head before Israeli forces rescued them, a brutal and cold-blooded massacre that has so far not been condemned by pro-Palestinian groups.
