rachel: they were in washington square park. in nantucket, this was a tree lighting ceremony.dents were not part of the protest were upset that this was a nonpolitical moment and they didn't want to see these protesters. julio roses, an independent journalist who has been at many of these protests and others over the last several -- joe: the antifa protests, atlanta. rachel: he has been at the border. he will tell you, interesting interview, a lot of the protesters here have many similarities to antifa, with blm. a lot of concern for national security. listen to this. >> they share a common hatred. they hit the united states and what it stands for, it stands for imperialism, capitalism and all these things and so at these palestine rallies i have seen antifa iconography, blm supporters out there and it is because they share this radical ideology in the sense the united states as we know it needs to be completely overhauled and changed to atone for all these different scenes. will: this is the beginning of the christmas season when thanksgiving is over. you saba protests during

this comes after they gathered here crammed in to washington square park. we know about 35 organizations were behind the rally. on black friday, organizers nationwide were calling on protests against shoppers. one protester said he thinks it's israel punishing the innocent. >> there's no measures being taken to -- conditions being set on what the money that we're giving israel. it's do whatever you want with it. israel is just punishing everyone in gaza, the west bank. >> we also saw a smaller pro israel counter protest, people waving flags, chanting "bring them home." today's protest following other rallies. we saw here in new york city yesterday, one of them blocking the thanksgiving parade route with protesters chanting "free palestine." police stepping in. watch. this massive rally happening after the parade. hundreds marching from madison square park to the macy's store. people said while you're shopping, bombs are dropping. edward, just in to new york city align, since the surprise hamas attack in israel, there's within more than 300 protests in the c

they are consistent protests, and rallies, in washington square park. that are under the guise of pro palestinian, and yet a lot of the chants are consistently calling for a globalized antifa, which has historical significance being violence towards jews. calling for bloodshed of jews. and the extermination of jews. i've been hearing calls for gassed the jews, hitler was right. i'm the granddaughter of holocaust survivors. hearing these words throw not around in such a careless way is harmful. for its harmful. and the biggest proponent of free speech. i think it's important, i think that it's an amazing value that the university has been enforcing for a very long time. it's amazing, the country, it's the united states of america. free speech is one of our most valued rights. but what scaring me is the line between free and hate speech is becoming extremely blurred. these are calls for violence towards jews. these are not calls for peace. these are not calls for palestinian rights. these are calls for the blood of jews to be shed. and that is what is sca

thank you, back to the live pictures of the anti-israel protest happening near nyu, this is washington square park in new york city, and expecting major protests tonight as well at the rockefeller center tree lighting. let's bring in katie pavlich, i want to ask you more about the college students not feeling safe on their own campuses. i mean, how is that happening today, katie? >> well, there was a hearing at the beginning of the month where congress brought in a number of college students who were testifying about this very problem. and they say it's been going on for a long time, but this most recent israel-hamas war which of course happened because of the terrorist attack on october 7th, really pushed it over the edge. and the response from school administrators, from professors has not only been lacking in condemnation for the behavior towards the jewish students, but also the condoning of the behavior justifying some of the things that are being said, some of the behavior, and it has not been peaceful. of course, there is free speech on campuses and in cities across country, but free speech

. >> at washington square park where protests take place, i was confronted by someone who screamed at me, hitler was right and the good jews are the ones from germany. i really -- every night i think about this how somebody at an nyu event said this to me. i can see them in one of my classes. >> i think, you know, it's really visceral for a lot of students, guy. we're seeing this more and more on campuses across the country. you've written about northwestern and other places where you have seen this stuff pop up. these students are dealing with it day to day. >> yeah, i'm absolutely sick of hearing some of these students and faculty even talking about genocide from the perspective of israel perpetrating a genocide allegedly. what are earth are they talking about? yes, there's innocent people being killed because hamas uses innocent people as human shields. israel goes out of its way to avoid those types of casualties whereas hamas does the opposite. they try to inflict those casualties on their own people and of course on the jews and israel as we just saw 1 1/2 months ago. and yet th

there was something that started, a pro-palestinian rally that started at washington square park.h support they are protesting about. but it inconvenienced me. the violence, threatening a teacher. the three palestinian young men, college students killed in vermont. there is a place for protests and there's the kind of protest. if he inconvenienced us but certainly should not threaten us with violence even when we have protests that some of the school board meetings across the country. when i objected to was the violence and the threats of violence. you said how can you protest and call for a cease-fire when you're going to behave like that? that's a great juxtaposition. i hope it causes everybody to have a little self and understand just because we believe strongly in a point doesn't give us the right to act more feverishly and for that matter violently and about how much you think your point is right. whether you are right, you're wrong or whether i agree or disagree but i agree don't do it on a holiday weekend. >> jesse: i didn't know you can ice skate. he >> judge jeanine: his
