Anti-Israel demonstrators turned violent on Monday night in New York City as they attempted to disrupt the 2024 MET Gala that was taking place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.<\/span><\/p>\n

Violence broke out when the mob of more than 1,000 protesters were blocked by police from crashing the star-studded Met Gala as part of a \u201cDay of Rage\u201d protest organized by the Palestinian activist group Within Our Lifetime. Protesters held up leaflets that read \u201cEnd the occupation of Palestine,\u201d \u201cShut down the campuses,\u201d \u201cEnd the genocide,\u201d and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Video shared on Instagram by the account Jew Hate Database showed a mob of anti-Israel demonstrators surrounding a man wearing a Star of David headscarf, stealing the scarf, and beating him near the Met Gala, an annual fundraiser\u00a0which is\u00a0<\/span>held for the benefit of the\u00a0Met<\/span>ropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s Costume Institute and marks the opening of the Costume Institute\u2019s annual fashion exhibition.<\/span><\/p>\n

The clip showed one person screaming at the man \u201cGet the f\u2014k out of the way\u201d as the group of demonstrators tried to make their way down the street. When the man stepped back slowly into a flowerbed, one of the protesters approached him and stole the Star of David headscarf from his head before fleeing. The mob continued to force the man backwards, but he managed to snatch back his headscarf from the angry protester. A fight then broke out, and several demonstrators were seen on camera repeatedly striking the man in the face and head before he managed to break free and flee the scene. A witness who filmed the attack from the opposite side of the street said she took the video to the local New York City Police Department (NYPD) precinct.<\/span><\/p>\n
