Love when the left eats their own, don’t you.
There’s more police protection for the America hating shitheads s at the Met Gala than there is for Jewish students trying to get to class at Columbia.
Protesters broke through barricades in NYC and rushed the Met Gala.
Now they are fighting in the street outside the Met Gala.

Mass Arrests As Cops, 1,000 Protesters Clash Near Met Gala

A ANew York police reportedly made at least two dozen arrests Monday while clashing with more than 1,000 anti-Israel protesters carrying Palestinian flags near the star-studded Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
While marching toward the museum, protesters vandalized the One Hundred Seventh Infantry World War I Memorial, where an American flag also was lit on fire, the New York Post reported. Protesters scrawled “Gaza” in large black letters on the memorial and covered it in stickers that read “Stop the genocide. End the apartheid. Free Palestine.”
Some protesters climbed atop the bronze soldiers and waved Palestinian flags or draped them over the soldiers, the Post reported.
A video from FreedomNews TV posted on the X account of a self-described Ukrainian journalist showed police dragging a protester onto the street while officers in riot gear escorted another who appeared to be handcuffed. Another person wearing a mask was dragged to the ground and handcuffed as police warned protesters to stay on the sidewalk.
The nearly three-minute video also showed two other protesters on the ground handcuffed and a police officer in riot gear pushing back others with a baton. In another instance, a water bottle was thrown in the direction of officers.
Demonstrations reportedly were expected for the gala, an annual gathering of celebrities and fashionistas with enough glitz and glamor to light up the Las Vegas Strip, but coming at a time of worsening inflation that is pounding the pocketbooks of most Americans.
The protesters set out from Hunter College, where the Palestinian activist group Within Our Lifetime called for a “Day of Rage” protest to form and then march toward the museum, the Post reported.
“Disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not rest,” the group of about 1,000 protesters chanted as they waved Palestinian flags and wore keffiyeh face coverings, but they could not reach the museum, the Post reported.
Police managed to divert the crowd into Central Park before blocking the exits. The protesters then filed out of the park and were within sight of the museum, but dozens of police formed a blockade preventing them from heading north.
The group tried to reach the museum again by turning down East 81st Street but was again stopped by more police barricades at the intersection with Madison Avenue, the Post reported. Soon after, police met the protesters head-on three blocks uptown and began making at least two dozen arrests.
The influx of people in the area and the large police presence had protesters and commuters jockeying for sidewalk space, The New York Times reported. Some passers-by along Fifth Avenue were heard referring to the protests as “antisemitic” and “anti-American.”

The Jewish people cannot pretend that they are safe in America anymore. Wake up. Protect yourselves. Fight back before it is too late. We are a financially secure and intelligent people. Peace does not work when your enemy wants to destroy you. There are many non-muslims who back these jihadists to destroy the Jews. Be not fooled. Joseph Robinette Biden is an alleged Roman Catholic. Obama hides behind Rev. Wright’s church but is a muslim and a communist. There are many self-hating Jews who are democrats many in power in the dem party Arm yourselves and learn to use firearms and martial arts. Bring back the JDL. Leave the dem party and learn self defense. Vote Republican or Conservative and donate to them. Get your children out of ivy league schools – let these commie indoctrination camps rot in hell. The Holocaust can happen again. As for me I would rather go out fighting and destroy my enemies than pretend that the government will protect me. May Ha Shem help us but we have to help ourselves. Be like David, Samson and so many others. Frankly, it is better to see the hatred up front and out in the open than to ignore it. Know thy enemy and destroy them.

Forty years ago, I told my friends the day I buy a gun will be the beginning of Armageddon. That day is fast approaching.

Arrested. Yes, but how long were the loons held before being released with no charges? Arresting these thugs just gives them something to preen about.

In order for peace, you must kill a few protesters. There is no repercussion for these hateful Muslim and pro Muslim scumbags. They do more and more evil every day. Thank Biden aka Satan.

By their own words …… they will never stop!
So, it is time to stop them, with live ammunition.
