This question will use data published by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), which runs the United States Crisis Monitor.
The ACLED's Crisis Monitor categorizes demonstrations by driver and publishes counts of demonstration events for each week. One driver the ACLED tracks is "pro-Palestine/anti-Israel", which came in at 173 demonstrations in April 21-28, the highest number since tracking began in October 2023.
This question resolves YES to each above-listed threshold that is met or exceeded in-terms of the ACLED's pro-Palestine/anti-Israel demonstration counts for any week in May. Any threshold not met or exceeded in any week in May resolves NO after all counts are published.
"demonstration count" means the combined total of protests plus riots
"any week in May" means Sunday-Monday 7-day periods which start in the month of may, meaning the following weeks: May 5-11, May 12-18, May 19-25, May 26-Jun 1.

3.00ACLED has updated its data into June. The highest figure for May has ended up actually being the very first week at 230 demonstrations (pro-Palestine/anti-Israel coded protests and riots). Therefore all the numbers that would resolves YES have already resolved. All other numbers therefore resolve NO.
ACLED demonstration data for the first two weeks of May (5-11 and 12-18) are both now in, and I'm comfortable resolving to any numbers on the first data point since it appears to me to now be relatively final. Accordingly, there were 227 demonstrations (protests + riots) during the week of May 5-11. This means the 50+, 100+, 150+, and 200+ thresholds have all been met and should resolve YES.
I will leave the remaining thresholds open until ACLED has every week of May updated, plus one extra week into June, and then resolve NO to any thresholds that weren't met (and YES if any additional thresholds are met).
@cash Just noticed an error in the above post. I assumed that at that time I was looking at the full week of April 28th-May 4th, but it appears that the date range (April-April) removes some of the data from early May. So 168 protests and 8 riots, I am guessing, refers to just April 28-30. If one extends the range into May, the demonstration number for the April 28th-May 4th week actually went way higher, at 435 protests and 14 riots tagged as pro-Palestine/anti-Israel:
Data is also now out for the week of May 5-May 11 (as can be seen in the above picture), showing 180 protests and 4 riots. This means the 50+, 100+, and 150+ options should resolve YES. I'm going to opt to wait for another week of data to be published before resolving those options, however, so that I'm sure I'm resolving based on finalized data for that week.
ACLED's May 2 report includes a map that shows New York and California have the highest concentrations of protests, with New York also being the site of the most police interventions.
