At least 206 Jewish anti-Israel protesters were arrested Monday after hundreds rushed the New York Stock Exchange and staged a sit-in outside the Manhattan landmark, police said.

Scores of pro-Palestinian protesters wearing red shirts stormed toward the building on Broad Street in Lower Manhattan — then chained themselves to the doors just before the stock market’s opening bell at 9:30 a.m., footage shows.

A handful of demonstrators, who hail from the Jewish Voices for Peace group, could be seen removing their jackets as they set up shop outside the building — jackets they wore in a possible bid to conceal their anti-Israel attire and thwart any attempt to stop them ahead of time.

    America and Israel. The only two countries in the world with Jews.

    FACT.

        I see. So based on your “evidence,” 60% of the percentage of the 80% of Jews that live in America in that combined 80% total of Israel and the U.S. are “Zionists” (even though that’s not what your poll said).

        This is what the poll said:

        Among U.S. Jews overall, 58% say they are very or somewhat emotionally attached to Israel,

        “Somewhat emotionally attached to Israel” is not Zionism by any stretch of the imagination.

            No. No it does not. I live in Indiana. I was born here. I have an emotional attachment to it.

            If Canada decided to invade and turn this into Upper Ontario, because Canadian names are weird, I not only wouldn’t give a shit, I’d welcome the universal healthcare.

                No. And the people who claim they have an emotional attachment to Israel are not necessarily advocating for that either. A point you now seem to be intentionally missing.

                    That isn’t even relevant to the ‘emotional attachment’ thing. You’re just bringing up irrelevancies because you want Jew to equal Israeli and vice-versa.
