Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters, including some waving Hamas and Hezbollah flags, marched through New York City on Monday, lighting flares and setting off smoke bombs.
The White House condemned the flying of Hamas flags at the demonstration, stating 'there is absolutely no place in America for the poison of antisemitism - none.'
Protesters participated in violent chants of 'Free Palestine!' and 'Resistance is justified when people are occupied,' showcasing a charged political atmosphere.
Video showed NYPD officers shoved aside while attempting to stop the march, indicating the challenges faced by law enforcement in managing the protests.
