Across the heavily policed street, a pro-Israel group stood behind security barriers hurling insults at the other gathering.
NEW YORK — Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered Monday in the heart of Manhattan, denouncing the Israeli government and demanding that the United States stop supporting its ally in the Middle East, after a massive weekend raid by Palestinian militants into Israel.
It was the second day in a row that the city had been the scene of tense counter-protests between pro-Palestinian residents and others defending Israel. They chanted "No justice, no peace," and "No justice on stolen land," while their placards compared the situation in Gaza to the Jewish uprising in the Warsaw ghetto in World War II.
"I'm not sure if they are bombed or not, if they are alive, if they're injured, if they are safe," she whispered, holding back tears.
