Anti-Israel protests erupted in New York City, with demonstrators clashing with police during President Biden's high-profile fundraiser at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Organized by the group Within Our Lifetime, protesters chanted slogans like 'Intifada revolution' and set off smoke bombs, leading to at least 32 to 40 arrests. The protest followed Biden's reaffirmation of U.S. support for Israel during a recent debate with Trump, which incited anger among the demonstrators. Videos showed chaotic scenes with police in riot gear making arrests amidst the smoke-filled air. Despite the turmoil outside, over 640 donors attended the fundraiser, where Biden emphasized his commitment to running for a second term. The protests reflect ongoing tensions in New York City related to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
