Several others successfully chained themselves to NYSE doors while wearing t-shirts saying “Not in Our Name” and “Stop Arming Israel” as the main crowd of demonstrators seated in front of the building chanted, “Gaza bombed, Wall Street booms, arms embargo now.”The New York City Police Department (NYPD) then moved in and began arresting the sit-in protesters as a small group of counter-protesters waved Israeli flags nearby.JVP said the NYPD arrested “hundreds of Jewish protesters, dragging them out of a sit-in on Wall Street by their arms and legs.” Credit: Talia Jane via Storyful
