“It has never been more important to condemn this moral depravity, demand accountability and implement President Trump’s America First peace through strength agenda,” Rep. Elise Stefanik told JNS.

Some 150 anti-Israel protesters gathered at Washington Square Park in lower Manhattan, adjacent to the New York University campus, on Sunday evening for a vigil memorializing Hezbollah terror leader Hassan Nasrallah, whom Israel killed in a Sept. 7, 2024 air strike.
The gathering, in which many of the protesters covered their faces with masks and keffiyehs, came hours after a funeral for the terror leader was held in Beirut.
Those who stood on one side of the Washington Square arch shouted “long live the intifada,” “there is only one solution, intifada revolution” and “resistance is justified when people are occupied.” Antisemitic protesters waved a Hezbollah flag and held up images of Nasrallah and Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks whom Israel killed on Oct. 16, 2024.
