Masked anti-Israel protesters take over NYC subway car, tell ‘Zionists’ to raise their hands: ‘This is your chance to get out’ appeared on nypost.com by Patrick Reilly.
Masked anti-Israel protesters took over a New York City subway car on Monday and demanded to know if there were any “Zionists” on the train — then warned them: ‘This is your chance to get out.”
The sickening moment came after protesters rallied in Union Square Park in Manhattan and held up a banner that read “Long live October 7.”
One antisemitic demonstrator at the event yelled that he wished “Hitler was still here” to “wipe out” the Jews.
Later, the mob of protesters lit flares and waved flags associated with Hezbollah and Hamas in front of the Nova Music Festival Exhibition on Wall Street during an organized “citywide day of rage for Gaza.”
On the packed subway Monday, one man told a group of masked and keffiyeh-clad protesters, “Repeat after me” — then said: “Raise your hand if you’re a Zionist.”
The other protesters dutifully echoed him.
Then he said, “This is your chance to get out.”
No one appears to raise their hands, according to the clip, widely shared online Tuesday
“Okay, no Zionists, we’re good,” he said as others cheered.
Zionism is defined by the Anti-Defamation League as “the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people” in Israel.
Some 80% of US Jewish said in a 2021 survey that caring about Israel is a key part of being Jewish.
On Tuesday, Mayor Eric Adams addressed the virulent antisemitic behavior that pervaded Monday’s protests.
“My fellow New Yorkers, in this country we must always protect the right to free speech. But I have a moral obligation to speak out when the messages that some New Yorkers are sharing go beyond the pale,” Adams said in a video address.
“These are reprehensible and vile comments. I, and every New Yorker who stands for peace, stand united against them,” Adams said.
Since October 8, the NYPD has made more than 2,850 arrests at Israel and Gaza protests across the city, the mayor said.
