On New Year’s Day, when an ISIS-inspired terrorist carried out a deadly car attack in New Orleans’ French Quarter, Jewish leaders blasted a large group of anti-Israel demonstrators who had gathered in Times Square to demand a “intifada revolution.”
“There is only one solution: intifada revolution” was the rallying cry of the demonstration, which was coordinated by the Palestinian Youth Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and the People’s Forum.
Video shared on social media shows a female protester in a keffiyeh yelling at counter-protesters outside the event, “We’re sending you back to Europe, you white b–ches.” Return to Europe! Return to Europe,” she said again.
One speaker yells over a megaphone in the center of New York City, “2024 was a year of struggle against the crime of Zionism.”

According to the Times of Israel, they declared, “We will be here every single year for generation after generation until total liberation and return.”
Signs bearing the slogans “No War on Iran,” “End Zionism,” and “End All US Aid to Israel” were carried by protesters.
“We will honor all our martyrs” was another chant from the crowd.
Many Jewish leaders were appalled by the display.

According to Mark Treyger, CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council, “they have no interest in facts, humanity, or peace.”This is the same crowd that marched through Times Square the day following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
Treyger, whose grandparents survived the Holocaust, told The Post, “They blamed Jews for the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, which is one of the oldest and deadliest forms of antisemitism.”
Former Brooklyn state assemblyman and American Against Antisemitism founder Dov Hikind said the anti-Israel demonstrators were seriously ill.
“It is very clear that these individuals are aiding terrorists and America’s adversaries,” Hikind stated on Thursday.
“This hate speech has not been addressed by the authorities. Hikind told The Post, “I’m waiting for Donald Trump to take antisemitism seriously once he takes office.”
The protest on Wednesday took place just hours after Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a suspected terrorist, killed at least 14 people on New Year’s Eve in New Orleans by smashing a pickup truck with an ISIS flag into revelers on Bourbon Street.
In a gunfight, police shot and killed 42-year-old Jabbar. In the French Quarter, a popular tourist destination, three homemade pipe bombs were discovered nearby, one of which was in Jabbar’s truck.
Jabbar, a US-born military veteran, lived in a Houston trailer park community that is primarily populated by Muslim immigrants, according to an exclusive report from The Post.
Masjid Bilal, the neighborhood mosque, is a short stroll from the dilapidated house.
According to officials who spoke to The Post, Jabbar spent ten days in Egypt last year.
He was a reservist in the US Army from 2015 to July 2020 after serving on active duty from March 2007 to January 2015.
The New York Board of Rabbis’ executive vice president, Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, referred to the demonstrations as “antisemitism.”
Their affiliation with a terrorist group that openly calls for the extermination of the Jewish people, according to Potasnik, “provides compelling evidence of who they are.”
