NEW YORK, N.Y. — Pro-Palestine demonstrators temporarily shut down Grand Central Station on Monday in a disruptive protest coinciding with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the White House, according to the New York Police Department and protest organizers.

The demonstration, organized by the group Within Our Lifetime, began outside the United Nations headquarters before protesters marched to Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan. Videos posted online show crowds blocking entrances and holding banners inside and outside the station.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sharply criticized the protest and called for accountability. “Disgusting. These antisemitic mobs shutting down transit centers need to be condemned and the organizers should be held accountable,” Duffy wrote on X. “Now, they have to worry about pro-Hamas agitators. Enough is enough.”

    “My neighbor in NJ is a zionist but they aren’t murdering anyone or stealing land even if they support Israel doing so.”

    You implied your neighbor supports Israel murdering Palestinians or stealing land. Your words, not those of Kronos.

He sees people burning and little babies blown uo and kids mutilated and cut up, and he just cheerish and celebrates it %100 , but he is a good Nazi on the inside and he personally never actually mutilated kids himself but this is where his heart is and what he believes in. He stands by Nazi genicidal aparthied state right to genocide and colonize but he is a good Nazi believe me. /s

      This hypocrite does not understand what Zionism is. ISIS had the same idology as Zionism, and they even invited islamist extremists from all over the world for land and dual citizenship, and colonized and genocided syrian, kurdish, and iraqi christiians and muslims of other sectors. This user needs to read thw definition of Zionism and read history instead of his inhumane, evil, hypocrite and disgusting nonsense
