Eric Adams called actions by anti-Israel protesters 'pure antisemitism.'
The city’s top elected official prefaced his remarks by saying, “We must always protect the right to free speech,” but blasted those who held up Hezbollah and Hamas flags, both considered terrorist organizations by the United States, as well as protesters who carried a banner saying, “Long live October 7th.”“I have a moral obligation to speak out when the messages that some New Yorkers are sharing go beyond the pale,” Adams said. “These are reprehensible and vile comments.
Any New Yorker who stands for peace cannot stand next to those waving Hamas and Hezbollah flags, especially at an exhibit commemorating the victims of the Nova Music Festival massacre. That is pure anti-Semitism.“You do not call for peace and then come to a memorial site,” he told reporters at the exhibit. “That is like you are desecrating the graves of innocent people.”
Adams has been a prominent pro-Israel Democrat, while others in his party have been more understanding toward anti-Israel protesters. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , for example, hasthis month. “Let’s bring peace so we don’t lose lives of innocent people. Today you’re seeing solidarity. The loudest is not the majority in the city.
