This type of language coming from the Mayor of the largest city in the country is disturbing. Palestinians, Arabs and others are entitled to the same rights to protest as every other resident of NYC. Vilifying them as “terrorist supporters” is what will lead to hate crimes.
At a moment when innocent people are being slaughtered and children kidnapped in Israel, it is disgusting that this group of extremists would show support for terrorism. I reject this. New York City rejects this. Do not use our streets to spread your hate.
