The demonstrators can be heard chanting, “Raise your hand if you’re a Zionist. This is your chance to get out.”
After nobody responded, a man shouted, “Okay, no Zionists here. We’re good.”The incident occured at the 14th Street-Union Square station, American media sources reported.
Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) took to X on Wednesday to slam the protestors.
“Anti-Zionism is a modern manifestation of antisemitism,” Torres wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in response to a video of the protestors. “Anyone threatening to purge ‘Zionists’ (i.e. most Jews) from public places is an antisemite. Period.”

An ABC news report said that police see this behavior as “overt anti-semitism” which goes beyond free speech and could be classified as coercion. Police have asked those who felt intimidated on the subway to come forward and submit complaints.

So were these nazis hauled in ? If there aren’t laws to criminalise this type of behaviour we’ve got to press our representatives to institute some. Armchair deploring of such beasts is not helpful. I’m writing to my senator- but I don’t live in nyc.
“and the new brown shirts wore keffiyehs…”
Very nazi like.
If the government can sue Trump even though no banks or others claimed injury, then the government can sue these individuals for disrupting the subways even if nobody steps up to claim duress.
Wht we need now is Rav Meir Kahane Z’TL & the JDL. PERIOD END OF STORY
They are Brainless Clueless that’s why they repeat everything that any idiot who decides to start chanting like Parrots just like they can be convinced very easily to be suicide bombers
Call it what it is, pro-hamas Jew haters.
Just keep voting for democrats recommend by self appointed askanim
The NYPD (pertaining to this article), stated that the victims should “file complaints”. The complaints will gather dust in a file. The real question is where are the NY National Guard that Gov. Hochul promised would patrol the subways? Also, why doesn’t the NYPD have constant patrols on the subways. From 1965-1974, there was one transit cop on every subway train and every station, from 8PM-4AM. Unfortunately, in an economy move, they were removed. It is time to reinstate those patrols, with expanded hours, dalong with the cops who used to dress up as Chassidim, in order to trap the robbers, and other deviants, who prey upon Jews.
No Zionist on Sunday and no normal American on subway these days,
This must end but won’t, only if Trump is being re- elected 2024 otherwise America is FINISHED KAPUT
Although we know that Hashem is in control and behind all these incidents, we are also commanded to do our hishtadlus to protect ourselves. We should demand that Agudah and all the other relevant organizations stand up to insist that these people be brought to justice. There are cameras everywhere and I’m sure somewhere they can be seen putting on the masks and then identified. If this would happen to a black community or even pro Hamas by zionists, there would be witch hunt. If we can’t do anything but keep silent then we need to get out of New York, this is shades on nazi Germany in the early 1930’s. And the reactions are the same. So much for ‘ never again’. If we jews get out of new York the economy will plummet here. We need to make a statement or we only have ourselves to blame. Then the rest is up to Hashem
If you chas v’shalom are forced to fight one of these ashholes, go for their face covering. They’re clearly more comfortable getting punched than they are revealing their identities.
CHILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The USA needs to ban free speech
