Pro-Palestine protesters mount Wall Street's famous Charging Bull and challenge NYPD officers to punch them as they crash Governor Kathy Hochul event

Hundreds of pro-Palestine protestors flooded the streets of Lower Manhattan, clashing with police as some mounted on top of Wall Street's famous Charging Bull statue, defacing it with 'death to Israel.' On Thursday evening, pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered in Union Square before heading to the financial district to condemn US military aid to Israel. The 'Emergency Action For Gaza' rally targeted Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York as she delivered remarks at a Wall Street restaurant. Video footage captured the chaotic scene, as demonstrators were seen mounting on top of the Charging Bull statue and defacing it with the message 'Death to Israel,' using a black marker to etch the graffiti behind the bull's ear.

I like James Woods but when was the last time he had to take the subway anywhere? If Keanu Reeves said this I might pay attention.

Mentally ill, poor soul. But as a political statement you might say 'well done'

There's so much noise in the world now over so many things that the millions of injuries and deaths as a consequence of the COVID vax is going almost completely under the radar, except for in the alt news — which they're now trying to censor even more than ever.

Billionaire George Soros is PAYING anti-Israel mob leaders who are ordering students to spark Marxist 'revolution'

Three of the major figures in the pro-Palestine encampments in US universities are fellows at the Soros-funded US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR). USCPR 'community-based' fellows are paid up to $7,800 for their labor, while 'campus-based' fellows are given between $2,880 and $3,660 for spending eight hours a week organizing 'campaigns led by Palestinian organizations.' The organization instructs its fellows to 'rise up' and spark 'revolution.'

Biden's Education Secretary Cardona threatens to 'remove federal dollars' amounting to $5 BILLION from any school that doesn't shut down anti-Israel camps and condemns 'abhorrent' protests

Columbia University and other Ivy League colleges allowing anti-Israel camps could have over $5 billion in federal funding ripped away, President Biden's top education official warned Tuesday.

Department of Education Sec. Miguel Cardona strongly condemned the 'abhorrent' protests taking over college campuses nationwide and confirmed Columbia University is under a federal investigation.

Ivy Leagues universities, which received an estimated $5 billion in federal funding last fiscal year, have seen their campuses overrun by pro-Gaza protestors for weeks.

Protestors at Columbia, which got $1.2 billion from taxpayers in 2023, are calling for the school to end its investment in Israel-related entities.

Often their cheers have devolved from pro-Palestinian sentiments to anti-Israel remarks. One of the encampment's leaders has said Zionists should be killed.

'If a school refuses to comply with Title VI, yes, we would remove federal dollars,' President Biden's Department of Education Sec. Miguel Cardona warned Tuesday at a Senate hearing.

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race in education programs receiving federal financing.

'And I should share with you that we do have an open investigation at Columbia University,' Cardona added.

If Columbia is found in violation of of Title VI, Cardona would ensure that federal funding going to the institution stops.

According to the Department of Education's website, Columbia University is under two investigations for Title VI infractions.

One was opened November 16, 2023, and another was opened a week ago on April 23, 2023.

In fact, most Ivy League schools are under ongoing investigation for civil rights infractions, according to the Department of Education. Out of the eight Ivy League schools six are currently being investigated.

All of the investigations were started after the October 7 Hamas invasion of Israel.
