Update (Monday):
“If anyone is flying out of JFK Airport today, please plan to travel to the airport ahead of time,” Chief Philip Rivera, the head of transportation of the New York Police Department, wrote in an X post.
Rivera said pro-Palestinian protesters are expected to cause delays at JFK Terminal 4 (departures).
“There are planned protests today and will cause delays. We don’t want anyone to miss their flights! Safe travels and Happy New Year,” he said.

Social media reports show NYPD officers only allow people with an “Employee ID or Boarding pass” to enter train stations to JFK Airport.
#NOW “Employee ID or Boarding pass!” Long line at Jamaica station to take JFK Air Tran to the airport as police limit access to employees and people with boarding passes only.

“Reports of massive law enforcement mobilization around strategic entry points into JFK airport to protect travelers from pro-Hamas protestors. This includes resources from NYPD, NY State Police, Port Authority Police, National Guard, and multiple state and city resources. May God bless them all. Enough is enough. Long past due to take back our streets. Thank them when you see them,” one X user said.

Days after hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters surrounded the World Trade Center in New York City and screamed “Allahu akbar,” a flyer circulating social media platform X shows a possible rally at John F. Kennedy International Airport on New Year’s Day.
The pro-Palestinians are chanting “intifada revolution” and shouting “Allahu Akbar” outside the entrance to the World Trade Centre complex. They are sending the message very loudly about who they are. Hear them.pic.twitter.com/hLzM2ah91C

Joel Mowbray, a former columnist for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a non-partisan institution focusing on national security and foreign policy, pointed out the protest flyer is full of hate:
Pro-Palestinian “protesters” are now openly embracing Hamas. Key word is “flood.” Hamas calls 10/7 massacres “Operation Al Aqsa Flood.”
So “Flood JFK for Gaza” is an open support for Hamas’ campaign of raping, murdering and beheading Jews — and Muslims & Christians. Vile.

Organized protesters are expected to arrive by foot and vehicles at JFK Terminal 4 (departures) around 1400 ET Monday. The terminal serves several international airlines, including El Al Israel Airlines Ltd.
“On New Year’s Day, pro-Hamas mobs plan on shutting down JFK airport, but don’t worry, New York’s governor @GovKathyHochul and @NYCMayor Eric Adams will be hard at work nursing their New Year’s Eve hangover. Once they’re over it, they’ll pretend it did not happen,” one X user said in response to the flyer.

Another person said: “Ah yes, disrupt people trying to get home for the holidays for your cause. I’m sure they will agree with you and support it now.”
Marxist groups appear to be funding these anti-Israel protests, as some point out. What’s troubling, just like when Marxist groups supported Black Lives Matter, the federal government appears to be ignoring these folks who are shutting down highways, bridges, business districts, and airports nationwide.
Though they no longer seem to put their names on these hateful fliers, it’s no surprise if divisive orgs like @nycDSA , @WOLPalestine , etc., still endorse these pro-terror “protests.” Defund THEM for supporting baby-beheaders—and toss OUT their “progressive” allies!

Last Wednesday, anti-Israel protesters blocked critical roadways to JFK.
🇺🇸🇵🇸🚨‼️ JFK is blocked too! It’s a ceasefire now protest.
Folks, the best way to make somebody anti Palestine is to make him miss his flight.
I stay by my traditional stance: “do not block traffic”.

BREAKING: Pro-Palestine Protests Disrupt Major US Airports, JFK and LAX Causing Chaos.
Watch how quickly this would stop:
– Cut off social welfare for protesters who block streets
– Every protester should be arrested and heavily find
– Anyone who is non-citizen or green card… pic.twitter.com/OzvsEUDoYs— I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸 (@ImMeme0) December 27, 2023
The coordinating organizers are listed below 👀
Any testiculated DA could shut it down before it happens and start filing RICO charges for what already happened in JFK recently

Where is the Biden administration denouncing these rogue organized protesters shutting down critical infrastructure? There should be zero tolerance for any group attempting to disrupt airports. Maybe Biden’s federal government is too busy weaponizing agencies against Trump supporters to actually care about real threats to the nation.
