They chant "settlers go back home, Palestine is our home," but they are literally occupying Brooklyn, which is my home and the home of my ancestors for over 100 years.

Multiple arrests in Bay Ridge. NYPD blocked the march from moving in any direction, then played LRAD threatening arrests. Crowd chanted “Gaza!” as they tried moving back.

Protestors chant “Let them go!” at the two corrections buses holding protestors (and a journalist). The buses are split by gender. The femme bus was calling for a medic, unclear why. A young woman was detained, her friends crying and terrified, but confirmed she’s uninjured. pic.twitter.com/zCtfCJLfnA
