In Chicago, hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators rallied outside an Israeli consulate in the city on Sunday, taking aim at the country’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu., drawing sharp criticism from city Mayor Olivia Chow. She claimed “the rally to support Hamas” planned for outside City Hall is “unsanctioned, without a permit and I unequivocally denounce it,” according to the newspaper.
“A group of four of us were attacked by maybe 30,” Palestine supporter Aldair Labarda told the outlet. “I was pepper sprayed three times in the face. I was punched in the face repeatedly, I was punched in the head, I was punched in the chest, my shirt was ripped.”Video footage captured another group stomping on an Israeli flag, ripping it and lighting it on fire — prompting a skirmish between the two sides near Times Square. Police said there were three arrests.
“I condemn plans to rally in Times Square tomorrow in support of the perpetrators of these horrific actions,” Hochul said. “The planned rally is abhorrent and morally repugnant.”
