Anti-Zionist protesters heckle Jews and chant for an intifada outside a New York City synagogue.
The protesters gather outside the Park East Synagogue in Manhattan to protest an event by Nefesh B’nefesh, a group that helps Jews immigrate to Israel.
The protesters chant, “There is only one solution, intifada revolution,” “No peace on stolen land,” and , “We don’t want no two states, we want ‘48.”
“Palestine is Arab,” they chant in Arabic. One woman holds a sign that says “Zionism is a death cult.”
One woman shouts “You fucking Jewish pricks” at Jews walking past. Another shouts “you’re a Fucking rapist and racist the two worst things in the fucking world” at a man with an Israeli flag.
Jewish counterprotesters gather across from them, in front of the entrance to the synagogue. Police and metal barricades separate the two sides.
The Jewish group shouts, “Fuck Hamas,” “You’re cowards,” and, “you’re protesting at a synagogue.”
