Times Square Protest: Calls for "Intifada Revolution"

Hours after a terrorist attack in New Orleans left 15 dead, a protest in Times Square called for an "intifada revolution." Organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and the People's Forum, the demonstration saw hundreds chanting slogans such as "There is only one solution: Intifada revolution." Protesters also carried signs condemning Zionism and US aid to Israel.

New Orleans Attack: ISIS Flag and Deadly Rampage

The New Orleans attack involved 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US citizen who had served in the Army and later lived in Texas. He drove a pickup truck into a crowd of New Year's Eve revelers on Bourbon Street, resulting in numerous casualties. Jabbar, who was carrying an ISIS flag, was killed in a shootout with police. The FBI recovered weapons and IEDs from the scene.
