Anti-Israel Protesters Disrupt Biden’s Mega-Fundraiser In New York City

Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters flooded the street on Thursday outside of a fundraiser for President Joe Biden at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, eventually making it into the event that also featured former Democratic Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

The protest event, referred to as “Flood Manhattan for Gaza,” was replete with protesters waving signs and chanting slogans like, “Free, free Palestine!” and “Genocide Joe has got to go!”

Attendees paid anywhere from a few hundred dollars to half a million dollars to attend the high-profile fundraiser. Photos with the three presidents cost $100,000, according to the New York Post. Approximately $25 million was reportedly raised for Biden’s campaign.

Some of the protesters became verbally and physically aggressive, according to multiple videos shared on X.In one video, a man is seen being harassed and shoved by the anti-Israel protesters.

In another video, a protester yells at a reporter: “F*** Fox News! Get a real job!”

Yet another video seemingly shows protesters heckling the president inside the venue.

The Biden administration has taken heat from anti-Israel groups for its initial support of the nation’s war against Hamas.

The administration has changed its stance on the war in recent months. During his State of the Union speech, Biden pushed back on Israel, saying in part: “To the leadership of Israel I say this: Humanitarian assistance cannot be a secondary consideration or a bargaining chip. … Protecting and saving innocent lives has to be a priority.”
