An anti-Zionist left-wing Jewish activist group partially shut down Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan on Friday evening – during rush hour – in one of the largest protests calling for a cease-fire in the three-week Israel-Hamas war the metro area has seen thus far. More than 300 protesters were arrested, according to the New York Police Department.

Local media ABC7 New York said the protest was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace. It forced the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to restrict access to Grand Central and advised customers to use 125th St. station around 6 pm EST.
One police officer told NYTimes more than 1,000 protesters packed the train station.
NYPD gave the protesters three warnings to disperse, though many did not comply with authorities, and upwards of 300 were arrested and charged with criminal trespassing.
Normal New Yorkers were disgusted by the mentally deranged “anti-Zionist” Jews, the level of self loathing and ignorance astounded the people trying to get home from work on via the Metroi North.
