Anti-Israel ‘rage playdate’ held outside Sen. Schumer’s home without permit

The NYPD wasn’t playing around with a group of anti-Israel protesters who brought their children Saturday to demonstrate outside Sen. Chuck Schumer’s Brooklyn home.

About 60 people gathered for what was billed as a “rage playdate” outside Schumer’s Prospect Park West building, where they had coloring pages about “Zionist bullies” and plead for President-elect Donald Trump to defund the Jewish state.

But the NYPD quickly moved the protesters away and blocked off the street because the agitators had not gotten a permit.

Parents clashed with officers, calling them “dictators” and yelling “KKK NYPD.”

“I will sue the s–t out of you,” one organizer told an officer.

Others chanted, “Schumer, Schumer you will see, Palestine will be free” and held signs that read, “Israel kills Palestinian children.”

“Chuck Schumer enables genocide,” one an organizer claimed.

Schumer’s office did not immediately respond to an inquiry from The Post.

A children’s activity book featuring a character created by the Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali was handed out on Saturday amid speeches from organizers who refused to identify themselves.

“Children like me keep having their homes taken by the Zionist bullies,” it quotes the character, Handala, as saying.

The workbook was created by the Palestinian Feminist Collective, one of the radical organizations highlighted in a recent report by the Network Contagion Research Institute and the advocacy group New York City Public School Alliance.

The report outlined the PFC’s pushing of resources allegedly linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a US-designated terrorist organization.
