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.

    Fuck Israel and the US. I recommend everyone to watch Democracy Now’s piece on this

    Insane what our country is doing and has been repeatedly doing and still wants to do. If you somehow believe that the US is the “good guy” in any sort of circumstance you are completely and objectively incorrect.

    You don’t live in a democracy in the slightest.
