NY Leaders Condemn Pro-Palestinian ‘Intifada’ Channels at NYC Synagogue Protest

Demonstrators gathered outside a synagogue in New York City on Wednesday night to call for the death of Israel’s leaders, including the Mayor of Anti-Israel leaders, including the concerns of the New York public.

“Invaders of Drolen Land” took place outside Manhattan’s Park East Synagogue, which was hosted by Nefesh B’nefesh, a benefit that helps American Jews send to Israel. Demonstrators called for an Intifada – a widely used term for violence against Jews – and the death of Israel in defense of power. They also chewed “We don’t want any Zionists here.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul, Dn.Y.Ye, condemned the protest as “a blatant attack on the Jewish community.”

“No new Yorker should be threatened or harassed in their house of worship,” Hochul said in a statement. “What happened last night [Park East Synagogue] he was humiliated and openly attacked in the Jewish community. Hate has no place in New York. “

Dora Pekec, a spokeswoman for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, told FOX News Digital that Mamdani was “reluctant to do so.”

“He believes that every New Yorker should be free to enter a house of worship without being threatened, and that these sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law,” Pekale said.

During the Ancient Mayor, Mamdani refused to abandon the phrase “Gojize insumi: In time he denied that he was ‘stifling’ others from using the phrase after discussions with New Yorkers Jews.

Meanwhile, outgoing Mayor Eric Adams, who is currently visiting Israel, also condemned the protests on Thursday and pledged to visit the Park East Synagogue when he returns to New York City.

“Houses of worship where people go, consider each other and respect each other. The church that says they disturb those don’t exist,” said Adams, while drawing a contrast. “

Rabbi Elchanan Poupo, host of the Jewish World podcast, posted one of the few videos on that protest, racking up more than two million views.

“The antisemites just demonstrated outside the Park East Synagogue and chanted Intifada,” Poupoko said in his post. “The rabbi of the synagogue is a Holocaust survivor who remembers the horror of Kristinnacht. Now, he sees the same things of the people who broke his glass. This was never about Gaza.” This is an attack on the Jewish people. “

Rabbi Arthur Schneier is the Senior Rabbi at Park East Synagogue. According to the Synagogue’s website, he was born in Vienna in 1930, survived the Holocaust in Budapest, Hungary, and came to the United States in 1947.

KristiAllnacht, or “the night of broken glass,” refers to the violent anti-Jewish protests that took place on the night of November 9-10 in 1938 that marked the turning point of the Jews’ exodus, the Falosasti Memorial Museum said.

Throughout his mayoral campaign, Mamdani maintained his commitment to protecting New York’s leaders, despite backlash from Jewish leaders and his mayoral opponents, former Gov. Orew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.
