Anti-Israel 'Day of Rage' marchers clash with police, then rally outside UJA-Federation of New York

A masked anti-Israel "Day of Rage" march wound through Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday, clashing with police and ending up outside the headquarters of UJA-Federation of New York, the city's largest Jewish charity, according to video by @yyeeaahhhboiii2 for FreedomNews.TV posted by citizen journalist Oliya Scootercaster (@ScooterCasterNY).

The march began at Hunter College, where student protesters demanded that CUNY divest from Israel and chanted at Mayor Zohran Mamdani to "take a stand." Marchers insisted on walking in the roadway; police tried to push them onto the sidewalk and the video shows repeated scuffles with officers. Scootercaster reported clashes and an arrest earlier in the march outside the Jewish National Fund.

The crowd then marched to the United Jewish Appeal building, where the footage shows protesters with megaphones and signs at the entrance as NYPD officers and building security stood guard. Accounts of the march report chants of "globalize the intifada" and "resistance is justified." Afterward the group took to the streets again on Fifth Avenue near St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Rockefeller Center tree.

UJA-Federation funds Jewish and non-Jewish social services across New York and supports Israel. Organizers of Wednesday's march also turned on Mamdani and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, chanting that Tisch "has got to go."
