Dorian, a 24-year-old protester at the pro-Palestine rally holding a sign reading “Zionism is terrorism” said the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel was justified.
Marching along Eastern Parkway, Dorian, 24 chanted "Free, free Palestine" while explaining that he believed Hamas was in the right to slaughter over 1,400 civilians in the Jewish state.
“Freedom by any means, land back by any means,” the 24-year-old Queens resident told The Post.
“I believe the settler state of Israel must be taken down," he added. I don’t think all Israelis are guilty but I think they are all taking part in a major genocide by allowing the murder of Palestinians."
Other protesters proceeding along Eastern Parkway, many clad in keffiyehs, pounded on drums belted viciously anti-Israel chants.
“One, two, three, four, occupation no more. Five, six, seven, eight, Israel is a terrorist state,” the crowd cheered.
