This month, pro-Palestinian protesters affiliated with the anti-Israel group Within Our Lifetime shouted hateful slogans and waved flags of terrorist groups in a "Day of Rage" they organized in New York City . “Long live the intifada,” the demonstrators shouted, according to one video account. “Resistance is justified where people are occupied.
" It wasn't the first time. On May 31, these agitators succeeded in “taking over” New York City’s Brooklyn Museum. In videos WOL shared on X, hordes of protesters chanted as they swarmed the museum grounds , crowded the doors , and hung flags from the institution’s edifice.
Later video shows WOL Chairwoman Nerdeen Kiswani standing “inside the de-occupied” museum, shouting into a microphone, “Brooklyn Museum, you can’t hide. Divest from genocide!” WOL claimed that “within an hour,” the “Israeli-trained NYPD stormed the museum, targeting and violently arresting activists,” including Kiswani. An NBC News report provides much-needed context to WOL’s version of events.
The Brooklyn Museum has said its employees were “physically and verbally assaulted and harassed” by assembled protesters, who damaged art installations outside the museum. In total, the New York City Police Department said it arrested 34 protesters during the attempted takeover. Neither the Brooklyn Museum nor the NYPD responded to the Washington Examiner’s request for further details.
WOL has used a string of protests to increase chaos .
