Video evidence of NYPD punching, brutalising, & arresting peaceful protesters

"New York police have beaten & arrested several protesters at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Brooklyn."

As the protesters reached an intersection, "officers rushed in & grabbed people out of the crowd seemingly at random.

"Officers tackled multiple protesters to the ground & then proceeded to punch them."

The first US faculty-led Gaza solidarity encampment

At The New School in NYC, nearly two dozen academics pitched tents inside the lobby of the university’s main building.

"For the state violence our students were subjected to & traumatized because of, we could not stand on the sidelines any longer.... We have to get all war profiteers out of our universities.”

~ Suneil Sanzgiri, lecturer

Analysis

No Major American University has Deplored the Destruction of Gaza Universities

And harmless student demonstrations have been met with harsh police response & criminalization unmatched since Kent State called in the National Guard in 1970, which killed four students.

Current charges that these peaceful rallies are antisemitic are bad faith propaganda & ridiculous.

Report

As many as 300 protesters were arrested in Brooklyn on Tuesday night, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for a “Seder in the Streets” to stop arming Israel.

The demonstration was held one block away from the home of Chuck Schumer & came just hours before the Senate overwhelmingly approved $14 billion in arms funding to Israel.
