JONATHAN HAROUNOFF: Israel haters reach sickening new lows in New York City
Fox News
Jonathan Harounoff, Israel's spokesman to the United Nations, observes that anti-Israel agitators have taken their cause to "sickening" new lows in New York City.

The grotesque incitement to violence outside the hospital did not end with chants. One protester, donning a Hamas Al-Qassam Brigades headband, sneered at counter-protesters, "Where are your hostages? Where are they? Go look for them."This is hardly the first time Within Our Lifetime has staged outrageous protests outside New York City hospitals. Last year, that same group protested outside the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on the Upper East Side. Raucous shouts of "Shame" bellowed from the crowd over the hospital’s alleged "complicity in genocide." Determined to disrupt seriously ill patients inside, one organizer shouted on a bullhorn, "Make sure they hear you. They’re in the window."
After work, I walked past Tisch Hospital. Banners and stickers lined the sidewalk. An inverted triangle—a symbol increasingly used to identify and target Israelis and Jews--was drawn into a snow-covered car’s windshield. A leaflet, produced by Within Our Lifetime, was left discarded by a nearby bodega. The title on the page read, "Within Our Life: Points of Unity."
