NEW YORK — The progressive Democratic Socialists of America organization was harshly condemned by other US Democrats on Sunday for backing a New York City rally in support of Saturday’s Palestinian terror onslaught against Israelis.
Organizers billed the rally as supporting the Palestinian “right to resist,” shortly after Gaza terrorists slaughtered many hundreds of Israeli civilians in a surprise attack.
The New York branch of the Democratic Socialists of America advertised the event and expressed “solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to resist.”
The protest was derided by New York democratic leaders, including Governor Kathy Hochul, Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, US Senator Chuck Schumer, US Rep. Richie Torres, and New York City Comptroller Brad Lander.
Other New York State leaders, including US Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Attorney General Tish James, US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned the terror assault or expressed support for Israel
Israel would like nothing more than to live peacefully within its borders, to see Gaza and the West Bank flourish as neighbors. But the Palestinians, stirred up by propaganda, hate and money from Iran, can never accept that.
The widely criticized rally — where an Israeli flag was stomped on and burned and a pro-Israeli faction taunted with a swastika image — occurred just a day after Palestinian terrorists launched Saturday’s sneak attack on Israel on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, killing more than 800 people, mostly civilians, and abducting at least 150 more.
Among the pro-Palestinian side, the mood was celebratory and spiteful. Demonstrators chanted “700,” apparently referring to the confirmed number of Israeli fatalities in the attack so far, and held up the number seven on their hands while making throat-slitting gestures. Others flashed victory signs with their hands while shouting insults.
