   Several hundred students stormed the hallways of a New York City high   
   school after a teacher was found to have attended a pro-Israel protest,   
   causing the teacher to have to lock herself in an office to avoid the   
   uproarious crowd.   
      
   The incident at Hillcrest High School in Queens occurred on Monday after   
   pro-Palestinian students learned the teacher had a photo on social media   
   where she held a sign, saying "I stand with Israel."   
      
   Several social media posts show the large group of students chanting,   
   holding up Palestinian flags, and congregating in the hallway. Other   
   videos posted on social media showed a water fountain ripped out from a   
   hallway, along with damage to the floor of a boys' bathroom.   
      
   Students chanted "free Palestine" and called for the teacher to be fired,   
   the New York Post reported. The NYPD eventually broke up the riot and was   
   able to take the teacher out of the school building safely.   
      
   In a statement to the outlet, the teacher, who was not named for safety   
   concerns, said she was "shaken to my core by the calls to violence against   
   me."   
      
   “I have been a teacher for 23 years in the New York City public school   
   system — for the last seven at Hillcrest High School. I have worked hard   
   to be supportive of our entire student body and an advocate for our   
   community, and was shaken to my core by the calls to violence against me   
   that occurred online and outside my classroom last week,” she said. “No   
   one should ever feel unsafe at school — students and teachers alike.”   
      
   “It’s my hope in the days ahead we can find a way to have meaningful   
   discussions about challenging topics with respect for each other’s diverse   
   perspectives and shared humanity. Unless we can learn to see each other as   
   people we will never be able to create a safe learning community,” she   
   added.   
      
   Democratic Councilman Robert Holden and several students at the school   
   believed the rioters were ignorant of the situation in Israel-Gaza, and   
   that contributed to the protest.   
      
   "I don’t know why these students are so misinformed, so intolerant and so   
   radicalized. They don’t even know the history of the Middle East. They   
   haven’t been taught that," Holden said.   
      
   "It's evident they're clueless about Middle East history. When did our   
   education system fail so miserably?" he added in a post on X, formerly   
   known as Twitter.   
      
   The incident is the latest pro-Palestinian demonstration that has gone   
   beyond orderly protests, with several incidents in New York City occurring   
   in the weeks since the war between Israel and Hamas began last month.   
      
   Protests in Manhattan on Thursday saw about ten people arrested after the   
   New York Public Library was vandalized by protesters.
