Fox News host Greg Gutfeld calls for 'official end of hate-speech' as he slams pro-Palestine protestors from NYC
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News host Greg Gutfeld announced his frustration with the labeling of "hate speech" as he voiced his disappointment regarding the pro-Palestine demonstrations in New York City.
New York City witnessed a substantial turnout of protesters waving the Palestinian flag, demanding the liberation of both the people and the region from Israeli occupation.
Protesters also engaged in confrontations with their pro-Israel counterparts, as both groups staged demonstrations following recent terrorist attacks by the militant group Hamas.
Greg Gutfeld slams Pro-Palestine protestors in NYC
'The Five' host Greg Gutfeld, began by remarking that the protests in New York City had seemingly put an end to any condemnation of hate speech.
"Happy Columbus Day. We forgot that it's Columbus Day. I say that knowing that to some, it's hate speech," Gutfeld said, "But I think today is the official end of all hate speech. When you have people on the streets laughing and cheering for the death and rape of Americans and people around the world."
Continuing his rant, Gutfeld made an inappropriate comment about transgender individuals, which was unrelated to the topic at hand.
"I don't want to hear about hate speech from anyone about misgendering a woman with a penis," the Fox News host added, "The ship has sailed because you are the same people that are defending this. How quickly will the scope of Israel's response be used against Israel? How dare you hurt innocent civilians, say the people cheering the murder of innocent civilians."
Israel-Palestine protestors clash in Times Square
Numerous groups of protesters organized rallies expressing their perspectives on the Israel-Palestine conflict at various locations in New York City, including Times Square and the United Nations building.
The demonstrations were initiated by pro-Palestine groups in front of the UN building, advocating for resistance against the Israeli occupation.
As they began to disperse from the area, pro-Israel rallies arrived and launched their protest in response to the terrorist attacks carried out by the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
According to Spectrum News, the two groups eventually engaged in a minor confrontation, requiring police intervention to separate them and maintain order.
Additionally, the protests at Times Square were managed by the police through the use of barricades to control the demonstrators.
