Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters gathered in New York City on New Year’s Day, marching through Times Square and calling for an intifada.

The demonstration, organised by the Palestinian Youth Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and the People’s Forum, featured chants of “There is only one solution: Intifada revolution."

Participants waved PLO flags, while Jewish anti-Israel fringe groups such as the Jewish Voice for Peace and the Neturei Karta sect joined the march.

Videos posted online captured a keffiyeh-clad woman shouting racial and antisemitic slurs at counter-demonstrators, including at a black woman in the small pro-Israel gathering.
