These protesters have nothing to do with Palestinian rights or peace. Their goal is eliminationist — that any recognition of Israeli humanity is unacceptable, even if comes from someone like Mamdani and is part of a peace vigil. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

‎Pro-Hamas Jihadi terrorists in New York City disrupted a peaceful vigil that was supposed to be about common empathy, humanity, peace, and solidarity to commemorate October 7 and all lives lost to chant for Hamas, Intifada, chaos, and war, while displaying images of their icon & hero, Yahya Sinwar. These modern day brownshirts can't stand the sight of Jews or Israelis, no matter how conciliatory or declaratively anti-Zionist, having any space to express grief or exist in public spaces.

And now this.
Organizers of the Oct. 7 vigil Mamdani is attending tonight are unable to start because pro-Palestinian protestors are drowning them out with their chats. Israeli organizers are trying to read testimonies from Israel and Palestinian victims and call the Gaza War a genocide. Protestors have taken seats intended for mourners, and one holds a sign of Sinwar.
