Pro-Palestinian protestors in New York reportedly interrupted an event in support of Democratic US presidential candidate Kamala Harris by throwing smoke bombs at the scene, resulting in the arrest of dozens.
In footage circulating on X, formally Twitter, a video published by the unofficial independent news outlet FreedomNews shows police officers pulling what appears to be pro-Palestine protesters out of the crowd and arresting them. Additionally, the video shows a considerable amount of smoke, possibly from a smoke bomb allegedly being thrown.
Additionally, at least one of the people is seen wearing a keffiyeh, covering his entire face, and a green headband that can possibly be inspired by Hamas's terror brigades's green band.#BREAKING: Chaos Erupts as Pro-Palestine Protesters Storm Democratic After Party Event, Throw Smoke Bombs During Kamala Harris Campaign#Manhattan | #NewYork Currently, numerous pro-Palestine protesters have stormed a Democratic after-party event in Harlem, Manhattan,… pic.twitter.com/RvUgA9lgO7

Alleged pro-Palestinian protesters in viral video
In another post circulating on X and published by the pro-Palestinian activist group Withing Our Lifetime, a congregation of people can be viewed as a pro-Palestinian protest due to the Palestinian flag being waved and multiple people donning various keffiyehs.
In the video, the alleged protesters are facing the road while a large black vehicle flanked by two large white vehicles appears to attempt to pass by.
Furthermore, pro-Israel activist Emily Schrader shared a video of the alleged protest in New York outside of a restaurant hosting a Democratic Party event, stating, "It’s no secret I’m not a fan of Kamala. Her record on national security is horrendous (border crisis) and she has tied herself to Islamic regime in Iran allied lobby NIAC."Zionist Mayor Eric Adams pictured leaving the Kamala Harris campaign event where Within Our Lifetime Protestors chanted directly to him, “Eric Adams you can’t hide!

She further added, "Here, anti-Israel protesters disrupt a Harris campaign event and set off smoke bombs because “Palestine” The irony is these people don’t care about Palestinians, they care about hating Israel, Jews, and yes, America — both Democrats and Republicans."Zionist Mayor Eric Adams pictured leaving the Kamala Harris campaign event where Within Our Lifetime Protestors chanted directly to him, “Eric Adams you can’t hide!

Schrader then emphasized that "The Palestinian cause is inherent anti-America!"
