Progressives across the country have been protesting against Israel for months. The far left has accused the Jewish nation of genocide over its war with Hamas. The protests have erupted in a new wave of antisemitism against Jewish Americans.
Colleges and police have been struggling to contain these demonstrations. Some believe protesters are being aided by outside help, including foreign entities.
In one blue city, protesters have been vandalizing memorials. Much like in previous years, the far left is using the current climate to inflict hatred against America’s heritage. At one point, someone defaced a WWI memorial with the word “Gaza.” And according to one report, he was brought in by an unexpected helper.
From Fox News:
A teenage anti-Israel agitator who police say defaced a World War I memorial in New York City earlier this week has been arrested and charged, the NYPD says.The 16-year-old boy is accused of defacing the 107th United States Infantry monument…
The New York Post initially reported, citing sources, that the teen’s father turned him in, but police later denied that to Fox News. They attributed the arrest to good police work and an assist by a school safety agent.
A teenager has been accused of defacing a WWI memorial in New York. Photos show he allegedly sprayed-painted “Gaza” on the 107th United States Infantry monument. This comes as pro-Hamas protesters deface and vandalize buildings and monuments across the country.
Police apprehended the accused vandal. According to one early report, his own father turned him in to the police. The NYPD is now denying that report, claiming they received help from a school safety agent and “good police work.”
The city is crediting “the World’s Greatest Detectives” for catching the vandal. Although, it is not hard bringing down a 16-year-old kid who would have frequently used social media.
Despite this “victory” for the liberal city, it still has its hands full with countless demonstrations on college campuses and across the city. It seems Democrat Mayor Eric Adams is unable to maintain control of NYC, as liberals fear fully pushing back against members of their own party over this issue.
Key Takeaways:
- An anti-Israel protesters vandalized a WWI memorial in NYC.
- Police have accused a 16-year-old teenager of the crime.
- Early reports claim the boy’s father turned him in to the police.
