The city was besieged by demonstrators from six groups who blocked major vehicle routes in and out of the city on Monday, leading to 325 arrests. ADVERTISEMENT Groups including the Palestinian Youth Movement, Democratic Socialists of America, Writers Against War on Gaza, Jewish Voice for Peace, Al-Awda and Critical Resistance all took part in the action. The New York Post first reported that the groups have ties to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, actress Susan Sarandon and colleges including Yale, Brown and UCLA and have received funding from a Rockefeller family foundation, and a Ben & Jerry's Foundation. The coordinated action hit the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge, and Holland Tunnel, stopping traffic out of Manhattan. Justin Finkelstein, an analyst with the Center on Extremism at the Anti Defamation League, told the outlet that this widespread protest was evidence of secret channels between the groups.

In reality it was a prison where young women were forced into sexual slavery and raped Finkelstein: 'I this is the most disruptive that I’ve seen. It’s slowing down daily movement of New Yorkers and making it impossible not to notice them. He added: 'I think that is their goal. They think these direct actions raise awareness of the Palestinian cause. Anything that gets them visibility is something they might consider.' Ocasio-Cortez has ties with the New York City Democratic Socialists of America, while Sarandon has been a vocal critic of Israel and a member of the Writers Against the War on Gaza, who were both present at the protest on Monday. Actress Susan Sarandon appeared at the protest on Monday at the Manhattan Bridge. In a video shared to X, formerly known as Twitter, the 77-year-old can be heard saying: 'No one's free until everyone's free. And it's my tax money that's paying for all these horrible weapons. It's a genocide, there's no bystanders in a genocide.' ADVERTISEMENT The Thelma & Louise star was dropped by a production company late last year after she made an anti-Jewish rant a pro-Palestine rally in New York City. Her remarks at the rally sparked widespread outrage, with critics saying they ignored the centuries of prejudice and antisemitism the Jewish community has endured. Sarandon publicly apologized for what she described as a 'terrible mistake' after claiming Jewish people 'are getting a taste of what it feels like to be Muslim'. The Palestinian Youth Movement that participated in the protest describes themselves as being a 'transnational, independent, grassroots movement'. Three demonstrators, wearing face coverings, are led off the bridge on Monday afternoon after hours of disruption Speaking at a protest on November 17, Susan Sarandon said frightened Jews in America are 'getting a taste' of how it feels to be Muslim RELATED ARTICLES * Can you spot the animal?

The group was co-founded by Loubna Qutami, a research associate at Brown University and an assistant at University of California (UCLA). Some of the groups protests include a protest on New Years Eve in New York City and a protest outside Macy's on Black Friday. The group said: 'It's not Black Friday, it's the People's Day for Palestine.' Meanwhile, the Jewish Voice for Peace describe themselves as being 'the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world'. The Anti-Defamation League branded the group a 'radical anti-Israel and anti-Zionist activist group that advocates for the boycott of Israel and eradication of Zionism'. The Rockefeller Brothers Foundation have given $490,000 'for general support' since 2019, with awarded given to the group in June of last year. According to NGO monitor, the group had previously received funds totaling $448,000 from the Schwab Charitable Fund between 2012 and 2014.

Al-Awda, which is Arabic for right of return, is headed by Abbas Hamideh and has been described by Influence Watch as 'maintaining ties with terrorist organizations'. The Post reported that the group had previously sponsored a pro-Palestine festival at the University of Penn. The event is said to have included former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters, a well known of critic of Israel, and former CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill who was fired for using the phrase 'free Palestine from the river to the sea'. Members of the New York City Democratic Socialists of America had also appeared at the protest on Monday. The organization says they aim to counter 'US imperialism' and disrupt 'the war machine in New York City with demonstrations. The group, who has close ties with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and had previously described her as their 'socialist superstar'. The group, which is demanding a cease-fire in the fighting between Israel and Gaza, joined with other protesters in briefly stopping traffic at numerous New York City bridges Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is speaking about the Israel-Gaza war and calling for a ceasefire during a press conference at the House Triangle/Capitol Hill in Washington D.C., USA, on December 14, 2023 The New York City Democratic Socialists of America had previously described Ocasio-Cortez as their 'socialist superstar' The New York chapter came under scrutiny after they failed to condemn the actions of Hamas' attack on Israel in October. Ocsaio-Cortez later denounced the groups demonstration alongside Congressman Jamaal Bowman who had previously been a member. Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAZOG) had also been apart of the demonstrations on Monday, which touts members including Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. ADVERTISEMENT Susan Sarandon is also a keen supporter of the group, with her and Martin both signing a statement of solidarity with the Palestinian people after the events of October 7. The group previously participated in demonstrations including one at John F. Kennedy International Airport last month. The Big Apple, which has the biggest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel, has been a hotbed for protests since the conflict started in October. On Monday, a sign at New Jersey-bound Holland Tunnel - where traffic was brought to a halt around 10am - read: 'Lift the siege on Gaza. Ceasefire now.' Groups of around 85 protesters sat at the entrance to the Holland tunnel with Palestinian flags, chanting and cheering as one person screamed through a megaphone Members of the NYPD Emergency Service Unit attempt with power saws to separate pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocking a Brooklyn Bridge roadway during a 'Shut it Down for Palestine' rally Groups of around 85 protesters sat at the entrance to the tunnel with Palestinian flags, chanting and cheering as one person screamed through a megaphone. They shouted in unison: 'Free, free Palestine. Stop the Zionist occupation.' At Manhattan Bridge, swathes of beeping vehicles could be heard as the protesters got in position and formed a human chain across the entry path into the city. Once they were locked in a line, another gang of protesters formed a row behind them, holding large signs and screaming: 'Shut it down!' At Brooklyn Bridge, around 40 protesters sat crossed-legged in the middle of the road as raging traffic was blocked from entering, just after the peak of rush hour. Demonstrators strapped their arms together with metal tubes, concrete and tires in their latest attempt to demand a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas. Videos showed that as the police presence escalated, some of the disruptive protesters were carted away in handcuffs.
