This is not the same as the red, black, white and green flag Palestine Liberation Organization flag we have seen carried in Bay Ridge for years.
The Hamas flag once again seen in the streets of NYC during a “protest”

Katie Smith’s video was shared in this tweet.
This man covered his entire head with a scarf and the Hamas flag, except for his eyes. Why?
?This is some of the “peaceful protestors” from yesterdays protest in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. They were literally protesting in H*mas garb and waving their flag but the left gets triggered when we call them H*mas supporters.

How is this not domestic t*rrorism?! pic.twitter.com/cSvh6pR416
The green flag again:
Seen in video here
I have been writing about Nabka since 2018 (see here) and we have not seen that flag in Bay Ridge during previous years.
While we support people’s freedom to protest, we don’t want to see a terrorist group’s flag in our community.
Channel 1 News said that thirty-four people were taken into police custody during yesterday’s protest. ABC News said 40 were arrested. (See here)
The tone of this Nakba protest was different, it was like the angry march that happened in Bay Ridge in October 2023. (See here)
Some men threw mangos at the police. (See video)
The Within Our Lifetime organization tweeted about the police being “neutralized” because some jerks put bike locks on the police barricades.
Nerdeen Kiswani, the head of Within Our Lifetime usually has strong chants to free Palestine, but today she was chanting about the police.
This year, some chanted about the NYPD: “Muslim cops, what do you say? How many kids did you beat today?” (See the video)

New grievances from the pro-Hamas crowd, chanting like drones, on the streets – well, sidewalks- of NYC:
"They want to cram us on a sidewalk
On a hot day
Creating unsafe conditions
Making people prone to fainting
And passing out
And having to scream super loud… pic.twitter.com/t4aGSmil7Z
Kiwani’s chant: “They want to cram us on a sidewalk. On a hot day Creating unsafe conditions. Making people prone to fainting. And passing out. And having to scream super loud Instead of using a mic. So they can keep us out of the stree.t Just for them to block the street themselves”
During previous Nakba protests in Bay Ridge, the passionate chants were about freeing Palestine.
A protester was taken into custody for using sound amplification – not for calling the NYPD piggies, as someone claimed. (Source)
Not one Bay Ridge politician told the community that Nakba was happening on Saturday, so that residents could avoid the area!
No politicians attended the event, yet two tweeted and actecd like nothing was different this year, despite problems at a protest in Bay Ridge in October 2023 – see video :
A day later, Senator Gounardes tweeted.
What Gounardes didn’t do was look into what really happened and speak with the NYPD about situations that occurred.
Sometimes the photos and videos don’t show what happened a minute before or what the police saw. Like this video that looks like this:
NYC Councilman @JustinBrannan , do you think the Academy Award for best dramatic performance in a stunt fall portraying abuse of a woman at the hands of the @nypdnews should go to this Bay Ridge "protester" from your district? pic.twitter.com/OHrzkzcd0H

We need new politicians, who don’t think representation is a tweet after an event “just to say something.”

It’s baby Lantern fly season. They look like small spiders now.
In an empty spray bottle, mix half vinegar and half Dawn dish soap. Spray at Lantern flies.
Vinegar can kill grass and other plants, so if they are near something you like, mix Dawn dish soap with water and spray.

NYPD is preventing the crowd from rallying against genocide in the street so they can stand around on their phones in the street. pic.twitter.com/jyJKYQJZx3

Palestinians of all ages were present to peacefully protest.
The people didn’t like being in one area, so Nerdeen Kiswani, the head of From Within Our Lifetime chanted:

In 1948, around 700,000 Palestinians were cleansed from the area they knew as Palestine, which is now Israel. They call it the “Nakba,” which means the catastrophe.

The signs say 76th Nakba because it is seventy-six years after 1948.
NOW: After rallying for a little over 2 hours, pro-Palestine protesters have now taken to the streets and are marching down 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge pic.twitter.com/Ds2rCRJvXX

Video by Katie Smith – see here
Before the march, some people put bike locks on the police barricades. This makes people less sympathetic to their cause because the police are doing their job.
There were a lot of police officers on bicycle this year. (See video)
Also different this year, journalist, Katie Smith showed that the police were on the rooftops (See video) and fire escapes (see video) Last year, protesters were on some fire escapes and rooftops.
Around 5:00 pm, it was raining and the crowd, most entirely made up of teens and people in their 20’s were angry.
There was a huge police presence – it wasn’t just the 68th Precinct officers. Some men threw mangos at the police. (See video) Police in riot gear showed up. In October, when there was a Palestinian protest, protesters were arrested, so the police were prepared. (See here)
The crowd divided up and marched down residential streets chanting. Helicopters and the police stayed with them.
Some people were arrested for lighting flares. (See here) Others were arrested for not listening when the police asked them to get out of the street and go to the sidewalk.

May 18, 2024Nine-Year-Old Girl Groped on the Way to School on 8th Avenue and 59th Street on 5/16 at 7:30am
On Thursday morning, a nine-year-old girl was touched over her clothing by a man on 59th Street and 8th Avenue (the police shared 9th Avenue) in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Then the man ran away. (See news here and here)
The police have shared the photos above.
Why haven’t politicians from this area shared the man’s photo so parents are aware?
