Hundreds of Pro-Palestinian protesters marched across New York City's Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge, blocking traffic and shouting, "Long live the intifada" and "Free Palestine."
Some of the protesters draped a Palestinian flag over the edge of the Manhattan Bridge. The police department later took the flag down.
The "March for Palestine" protest was advertised on the crowdfunding website indiegogo.com, which organizers used to raise $1000 to fund flags and other supplies. "We will turn the Brooklyn Bridge into a sea of flags," the organizers proclaimed.
The indiegogo post refers to Israel's actions in Palestine as "ethnic cleansing" and complains of Israel's "occupation and apartheid like regime."
"Israel’s project has never been peace but a zionist [sic] dream," the organizers declare.
"Israel=Racism & Genocide," read one sign carried by a protester.
