How to read this. Each entry separates what the footage shows from what someone remembers. The first paragraph describes only what is visible or audible in the clip. Anything else — what happened before the camera started, who the person is, what the police did afterwards — is marked as testimony.
Watch the video before you take our word for the description. That is why it is linked. If we have described something wrongly, tell us at the corner on a Saturday and we will correct it.
The videos are hosted by the members who filmed them, not by this site. Following a link takes you to that host, and what they log is theirs, not ours.
If something happens to you at the corner, the Know your rights section sets out what to write down and who to report it to. Recording in a public place is lawful in Colorado, including recording the police.
Facebook posts photograph our demonstrators and call them antisemites
Facebook; photos from Boulder
Two public posts by Tania von Roessler. On 10 October: "This is in Boulder today! Antisemites in full force on the left and the pic on the right is of Natasha Resnik the freedom fighter with her friends." Her photos show the group's yellow ISRAEL MURDERS CHILDREN banner at the corner, and four people posing together. When it was captured on 19 October the post had 598 reactions and had been shared 7 times.
On 17 October: "Boulder today. As usual Antisemites are on the move! The chick ( or a guy) on the left has ..." The rest of the text is folded behind Facebook's "more" link. Her photos show a demonstrator from behind carrying a handwritten sign that begins "IMPEACH PEDOPHILE TRUMP", and a demonstrator holding a Palestinian flag beside the group's banner. When it was captured on 19 October the post had 174 reactions and 410 comments.
Our members' faces are blurred in the screenshots here. They are not blurred in her posts.
The rest of the 17 October post, folded behind "more" in the screenshot, asked: "Why are Pro Palestinian Women so Ugly?" She has since taken that post down.
Natasha Resnik is one of the counter-protesters who come to the group's Saturday standing, and members say she harasses the group there every week. Witness testimony
Stands in front of us with flags to stop a crowd seeing us play music
No Kings rally, Glen Huntington Bandshell, Canyon & Broadway, Boulder
The group is playing music at the No Kings rally. A woman carrying Israeli flags stands directly in front of the musicians, between them and the people watching. Someone says "she's allowed to do it". She asks the members their names; one gives his. A member tells her "we know you're a Zionist, but if you guys come out and harass us", and asks her for the definition of genocide.
She argues it with him for about three minutes: that the Palestinians living inside Israel are "a little bit of proof that Israel is not trying to genocide", that "even Hamas claims more than half of the deaths as their own combatants", and that the casualty figures come from Hamas. He answers that the 1948 Convention says "in whole or in part", so Palestinians living in Israel are "irrelevant" to it; that he is citing the World Health Organization; and that she is accepting half of one side's statistics while refusing half of the other's. She asks whether his friend, a doctor who had been in Gaza, saw "the hostages in the hospital, cuz that's a war crime"; he asks whether she has seen the Israeli prisons and what is done to people in them. She tells him "you have nothing", twice, and goes. A member says she has gone and that she will probably come back. The music carries on under all of it.
Standing in front of people to stop them being seen or heard is covered by C.R.S. 18-9-108, disrupting a lawful assembly: significantly obstructing or interfering with a lawful gathering "by physical action, verbal utterance, or any other means", with intent to prevent or disrupt it. The rally was organised by No Kings Boulder, not by us. Colorado Revised Statutes, Title 18, section 18-9-108
The claims in this video, answered
Each claim is quoted from the video, condensed where a speaker repeats themselves. Each answer links to the entry on our Palestine page that sets out the sources.

“There are two million Palestinians living inside Israel. That is a little bit of proof that Israel is not trying to commit genocide.”
They are the descendants of the people who were not driven out. More than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled or fled in 1948, from around four hundred towns and villages, and almost none were allowed back. And the Convention does not ask whether a group was destroyed entirely: it says "in whole or in part", and in 2007 the International Court of Justice found the killing of some 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica to be genocide. The record →
-
“Even Hamas claims more than half of the deaths as their own combatants.”
Hamas did not say it. Israel's prime minister did: on 12 May 2024 Benjamin Netanyahu said on the Call Me Back podcast that fighters made up nearly half the dead, and that Israel had held the ratio of civilians to combatants to "about one to one". The Gaza Ministry of Health does not sort the dead into fighters and civilians at all, so no such share can be drawn from its figures, and on 29 January 2026 a senior Israeli military official said "it is unknown exactly how many of the dead are members of terror groups". Of the killings the UN Human Rights Office has verified, each against at least three independent sources, close to seven in ten of the dead were women and children. And the findings of genocide do not rest on the ratio: they rest on four of the five acts in Article II. The record →
-
“Those numbers come from Hamas. Even the World Health Organization's figures come from Hamas.”
The ministry publishes named lists — name, sex, age and identity-card number — and the people who have checked them are not Hamas. An analysis in The Lancet in 2023 found no evidence of inflated reporting; a capture-recapture study in January 2025 put the real number about 41 per cent above the ministry's; and on 29 January 2026 a senior Israeli military official called the ministry's figures "largely accurate" and put the toll at "around 70,000" — Israel's own army, using the number she says comes from Hamas. Every one of those is a floor. More than 8,000 people have never been recovered, and the ground they are under is being levelled and carried out of Gaza by the truckload while the UN's investigators are refused access, so some of it will never be counted at all. None of it includes the people killed by the famine the IPC confirmed in August 2025 or by untreated illness: a letter in The Lancet in 2024 suggested that counting those too could put the deaths attributable to the war at 186,000 or more — an extrapolation rather than a count, and worth quoting as one. The record →
-
“Did your friend see the hostages in the hospital? Because that is a war crime.”
It would be. It would also not make genocide lawful: the Convention makes it a crime "whether committed in time of peace or in time of war", with no exception for self-defense. And on what is done to prisoners, the figures are the Israel Prison Service's own: 3,101 Palestinians were held in administrative detention, without trial, in October 2026. In March 2025 the UN Commission found that Israel had systematically used sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinian detainees. The record →
Counter-protesters stand in front of our sign until it is moved to the edge of the street
10:51 a.m. Canyon & Broadway, Boulder
At 10:51 a.m. the group sets up its sign several feet back from the edge of the street. A minute later a counter-protester stands directly in front of it. At 10:54 Aaron Brooks joins him and gradually moves across the front of the sign. At 11:10 more counter-protesters arrive and walk directly in front of the sign. At 11:15 the group moves the sign to another spot and stands with it right at the edge of the street, where it cannot be blocked. A member then asks a police officer about the law, saying the group's lawyer describes harassment as the attempted interruption of any peaceful gathering. The officer replies that for harassment "there has to be some sort of physical threat involved", or "physical touch", or telecommunications, and that "nothing about just gathering and them, like being here interrupting your gathering, is a part of that statute." No action is taken. The clip ends on the text of C.R.S. 18-9-108.
Interrupting a gathering is covered by a different statute from the one the officer described. Disrupting a lawful assembly, C.R.S. 18-9-108, is committed by anyone who, intending to prevent or disrupt a lawful meeting, procession or gathering, significantly obstructs or interferes with it "by physical action, verbal utterance, or any other means." The harassment statute, C.R.S. 18-9-111, does not require physical contact either: it also covers following a person in a public place, and repeatedly insulting or taunting someone in a manner likely to provoke a violent response. Colorado Revised Statutes, Title 18, sections 18-9-108 and 18-9-111
Surrounded and talked over while speaking with one counter-protester
Canyon & Broadway, Boulder
A member is talking calmly with a man carrying a flag, about the Pearl Street attack, Gaza and Zionism. Other counter-protesters gather round and talk over the conversation; the member asks "one at a time, please" and asks them to back up. One tells him "You're just anti-Jewish." A woman who says she is an Israeli Zionist delivers a long statement, and when he tries to answer it he is told to "just listen, absorb." When he says that members of the group have seen the occupation firsthand in the West Bank, she replies that they "should have stayed there."

“Two million Arabs live in Israel. How is that depopulation?”
They are the descendants of the people who were not driven out. More than 750,000 were, from around four hundred towns and villages. The Law of Return gives citizenship to any Jewish person anywhere in the world, while the refugees and their families are refused return to villages a few kilometres away. The Absentees' Property Law took the property even of Palestinians who never left the country. The record →
-
“The only democracy in the Middle East, the only place where LGBTQ+ people can be alive.”
A democracy is judged by how it treats everyone it governs. In 2018 the Nation-State Law declared national self-determination "unique to the Jewish people." In the occupied West Bank, Palestinians are tried in military courts while settlers on the same land are under civil law. How any group of citizens is treated does not answer the apartheid findings of Israel's own human rights organizations, Yesh Din and B'Tselem. The record →
-
“Who better to correct you than an Israeli Jewish Zionist? That's the only person that's relevant.”
An argument stands or falls on its evidence, not on who makes it. But take her test anyway: the strongest witnesses on our Palestine page are Israeli. Yesh Din and B'Tselem, Israel's own human rights organizations, found apartheid. Benny Morris, an Israeli historian who remains unapologetic about them, documented the 1948 expulsions from the state's own military archives. Jabotinsky, one of Zionism's founders, called the project colonization. The record →
-
“Zionism is simply Jewish self-determination in our ancestral homeland. It's not about ethnic cleansing.”
Its own architects described it differently, in writing. In 1923 Ze'ev Jabotinsky wrote that Zionist colonization could go ahead only "in defiance of the will of the native population," behind "an iron wall which the native population cannot break through." In 1948 more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled or fled, and almost none were allowed back. The record →

“We can be safe from another Holocaust. We have a place to escape to.”
The movement was founded at Basel in 1897, decades before the Holocaust. And the safety of one people cannot be paid for with the destruction of another: in September 2025 the UN Commission of Inquiry found Israel responsible for genocide in Gaza. The record →
-
“Zionism did not start in the 1800s. The word comes from Zion.”
The word is ancient. The movement to build a state is not. Herzl published Der Judenstaat in 1896, and the First Zionist Congress met in Basel in 1897; his diary entry was "At Basel I founded the Jewish State." Before settling on Palestine he weighed Argentina, and in 1903 the movement voted to investigate Uganda. The record →
-
“Israel has given up land for peace. We are not an expansionist project.”
Around 700,000 settlers now live in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, which the Fourth Geneva Convention forbids. On 19 July 2024 the International Court of Justice found the occupation unlawful and said it should end. The record →
-
“We are trying to free Palestine from Hamas. After October 7th we said enough. This is attempted genocide.”
The war did not start on October 7th. Gaza had been closed since 2007, "effectively an open-air prison" in Human Rights Watch's words, and in the nine months before that day Israeli forces killed 234 Palestinians in the West Bank. Either way, the Genocide Convention makes genocide a crime "whether committed in time of peace or in time of war," with no exception for self-defense. The UN Commission of Inquiry found four of the five acts it defines committed in Gaza. The record →
-
“We are not colonialists. We didn't come there.”
The movement chose the word itself. Its bank, founded in 1899, was the Jewish Colonial Trust. Jabotinsky called the project "Zionist colonization." Nobody has to characterize it from outside. The record →
-
“We were there. We've been there.”
Jewish presence in this land is ancient and real, and nobody here disputes it. The question is whether a movement founded in Switzerland could take land from the people who held it. In 1945, by the British administration's own count, Jewish ownership came to roughly six to seven per cent of the land. Ramallah was 99 per cent Arab-owned, Nablus 87. The record →
-
“The land was never theirs. They were under occupation.”
Living under an empire is not the same as not owning land. Ottoman census, land and tax registers recorded the villages by name, and under Ottoman tenure the cultivator's rights were real and heritable. The people holding them were Palestinians. The record →
-
“Palestinians is what the British called the Jews that lived in Palestine.”
Filastin, a newspaper founded in Jaffa in 1911, addressed its readers as Palestinians: six years before the Balfour Declaration and eleven before the Mandate. From 1925 hundreds of thousands of people carried passports identifying them as Palestinian citizens. The record →
-
“Do you know where Judea is? Have you ever looked at a map?”
Judea was the name of one kingdom among several, then a Persian province, then a Greek one, then a Roman one, renamed by each empire in turn. Palestine has the same shape. Neither is a title deed. The record →
-
“We are Hebrews. I speak Hebrew. I am Israeli.”
A language is learned, not inherited: speaking Hebrew says where someone went to school, not who their ancestors were. Nor is ancestry a deed. The kingdoms of Israel and Judah fell to Assyria around 720 BC and to Babylon in 586 BC, two kingdoms among several on the same land. And the people living on that land today descend from the people who lived there then: the ancient DNA traces 81 to 87 per cent of Palestinians' ancestry to the Bronze Age population of the southern Levant. If descent conferred title, Palestinians would hold the oldest one. The record →
-
“Have you been to Israel? You don't know.”
Nobody has to have stood in a place to read its laws, its court records or the rulings of the International Court of Justice. And if being there were the test, the most relevant voices would be the Palestinians who live under the occupation. When she was told that members of our group had been to the West Bank and seen it for themselves, the test changed: they should have stayed there. The record →
-
“They should have stayed there.”
Said of people who had seen the West Bank, it means: go and live under it. There, which court tries you and which roads you may use depend on whether you are Palestinian or a settler. To wish that on someone as a put-down is to treat life under it as a fitting fate: fitting for the Palestinians who are born into it, and for anyone who takes their side. That is what makes the line racist. Not the anger, but the assumption that those conditions are acceptable as long as the right people are the ones living in them. The record →
Beer can thrown at the corner from a passing truck
Canyon & Broadway, Boulder
Someone in a passing flatbed truck with a camper on the back throws a beer can out of the window at the people on the corner. The can lands in the street; some of the beer reaches them. A member calls 911 on camera to report it, and the clip ends on the can lying in the street.

A woman stands facing the people on the corner for several minutes, wearing a hat with a raised middle finger on it and holding a sign that reads: "FU For: Rape is Never Resistance. Genocide Inversion 90% of Jews Killed in Poland in WWII. 3% of Gazans in a War they Started. Not Genocide."

“Rape is never resistance.”
Agreed, and nobody on our corner has said otherwise. In March 2025 the UN Commission of Inquiry found that Israel has systematically used sexual and reproductive violence against Palestinians since October 2023. The record →

“Genocide inversion.”
The finding of genocide comes from a UN commission applying the 1948 definition, not from a comparison with the Holocaust. The question is whether Article II applies, not whether one atrocity resembles another. The record →
-
“90% of Jews killed in Poland in WWII. 3% of Gazans. Not genocide.”
The definition has no threshold: intent to destroy a group "in whole or in part." The International Court of Justice found the massacre at Srebrenica, some 8,000 men and boys, to be genocide. The record →
-
“In a war they started.”
We don't accept the premise. The war did not begin on 7 October 2023. It began in 1948, when more than 750,000 Palestinians were driven out, and two hundred towns and villages were emptied before any Arab army crossed a border. Since 2007 Gaza has been closed: "effectively an open-air prison," in Human Rights Watch's words. When its people marched to the fence in 2018, Israeli forces shot dead 183 of them, 35 of them children. In the nine months before October 7, Israeli forces killed 234 Palestinians in the West Bank. Today 3,101 Palestinians are held without trial. October 7 was the latest volley in a war that started long before it. And even on their own telling, the Genocide Convention makes genocide a crime "whether committed in time of peace or in time of war". It has no exception for who fired first. The record →
