Fetterman Criticizes Protests in NYC

Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman recently referred to protesters in New York City as “pro-Hezbollah/Hamas traitors.” His comments followed a demonstration on Tuesday that he found concerning, particularly because it seemed to target Jewish communities, including near synagogues and daycares.

On Wednesday, he expressed his frustration on social media, questioning, “Where is my party’s condemnation?” This statement came after sharing footage that reportedly captured anti-Zionist chants at the protest.

A spokesperson from the Park East Synagogue, where a significant Israeli real estate event was taking place, emphasized their commitment to peaceful worship and acknowledged the efforts of the NYPD to safeguard the community.
