Pro-Palestinian protesters shout “shame” at a New York City cancer hospital that cooperates with medical centers in Israel.
“Another complicit institution: the Sloan Kettering Center,” an activist yells to the marching crowd of pro-Palestinians as they walk past the hospital.
“Make sure they hear you; they’re in the windows. On this day, shame on you. You support genocide, too,” the activist continues, as at least one child can be seen peering through the window.
Sloan Kettering has participated in collaborations with the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, but the activist leading the chants against the New York hospital did not appear to mention this to fellow protesters who proceeded to shout “shame.”
Not a good look as pro-Palestinian protestors target a cancer hospital on New York’s Upper East Side. The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center also houses a paediatric day hospital…
