Pro-Palestinian protests disrupt Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, Bowman rally

SUMMARY

Pro-Palestine protestors disrupted a rally held by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) on Saturday. Organized by Within Our Lifetime, the protestors condemned Biden's support for Israel, chanting "Intifada" and "Genocide Joe has got to go." This group recently faced backlash for damaging artworks at the Brooklyn Museum and targeting its Jewish director. Rep. Bowman responded to the disruptions, leading a "cease-fire now" chant. Bowman faces a tough re-election bid against AIPAC-backed George Latimer.
