NEW YORK — There are a few common threads that run through this week’s anti-Netanyahu government protests in New York City: There is pride. There is anger. The crowds are generally older and overwhelmingly secular. And there are few concrete answers offered for the political and societal crisis that engulfs Israel.
A number of protest groups, including UnXeptable, Kaplan Force, Brothers in Arms and others, have combined their efforts in organizing wall-to-wall protests, including in Times Square, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, outside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hotel, outside the hotel where Netanyahu met U.S. President Joe Biden and another planned for Friday outside the United Nations, where Netanyahu will deliver a morning speech to the annual General Assembly.
