Pro-Palestine mob splatters fake blood on New York Times building, shuts down Grand Central Station, tears down American flags

A mob of pro-Palestinian supporters caused unrest in New York City on Friday night. The throng of protesters attempted to storm Grand Central Station, splattered fake blood on the New York Times building, and tore down American flags.

Thousands of demonstrators participated in the "Flood Manhattan for Gaza" protest on Friday night.

Protesters set fire to an Israeli flag and destroyed copies of the Jewish Post newspaper. Vandals plastered New York City storefronts with anti-Israel messages such as: "Zionism Is Terrorism" and "Resist Colonial Power By Any Means Necessary." Some protesters destroyed posters of Israeli hostages. Others demanded the elimination of the Jewish state.
