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.

    That is not what I said. Please re-read what I wrote:

    Of course, you have yet to even acknowledge this activism despite that the fact that they STORMED THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

    Not good enough for you to even acknowledge in a post about that activism apparently.

    You still have not acknowledged what they did, let alone suggested that they did a good thing.
