Pro-Palestine demonstrators protested at the World Trade Center, the site of the terror attack on September 11, 2001.
An estimated 1,000 protesters descended upon the site, organizing a “funeral procession for children who were killed in Gaza,” as the New York Post reported.
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” the activists chanted. “Israel, you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide. Israel, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?”

Journalist Collin Rugg shared on X, “Hundreds of protesters decided to use the World Trade Center, the same location where the 9/11 attacks took place, to stage their protest.”
The latest protest follows a recent demonstration outside of U.S. airports.
Pro-Palestine demonstrators blocked the John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York, and the Los Angeles International Airport, commonly referred to as LAX, in California.
During the protest at the JFK Airport, demonstrators blocked roads, forcing travelers to walk past the blockades with their luggage.
During the Los Angeles protest, demonstrators shouted “Free Palestine” and threw rocks at police officers.
