A recent protest organized by New York University (NYU) students in Manhattan took a disturbing turn as signs with anti-Semitic messages were displayed, marking the latest instance of rising hatred towards Jews and Israel in New York. The protest, which took place in Washington Square Park, saw dozens of Gen Z demonstrators waving pride flags and wearing kaffiyehs while demanding “freedom for Palestine” and the “divestment” of Israel’s government. One young woman held up a pink sign reading “Keep the world clean” with an illustration of the Star of David inside a trash can. Another protester held a similar sign bearing the same message. The demonstration was organized by Ryna Workman, a law student known for her previous statements referring to Hamas’ attack on Israel as “necessary.” Workman uses the pronouncs they/them, and recently had an offer to join a prominent international law firm rescinded over her sickening pro-terror statements. NYU spokesman John Beckman responded to the protest, saying, “These signs are anti-Semitic, repugnant, and a disgrace. We don’t know the identity of the people pictured, but we take this seriously and will be looking into it.” He emphasized that anti-Semitism violates the university’s rules, and violators may be subject to university conduct proceedings.
