'Especially heinous': White House responds to NYC Labor Day protesters waving Hamas, Hezbollah flags
Fox News
The White House blasted anti-Israel protesters for waving Hamas flags and other terror group symbols during a raucous protest in New York City on Labor Day as "especially heinous."
"It is especially heinous to express support for Hamas on the same day as the funeral for an innocent American hostage who they brutally murdered. This is a moment for all Americans to come together and stand against Antisemitism and against the sickening hate and evil that Hamas represents," said Bates.
The protest on Monday, dubbed, "Flood NYC for Gaza," was organized by the group Within Our Lifetime. The group has led large protests in the Big Apple since Hamas's massacre on Oct. 7, at times forcing roads, trains and even parts of the airport to shut down in response. Meanwhile, the group's founder, Nerdeen Kiswani, has called for the expulsion of "Zionists" from the city. The group has been charged as being antisemitic by critics.
