Trisha Posner, a British-Jewish journalist and author, and CEO of the Antisemitism Watch organization, expressed shock and disgust at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in New York City commemorating October 7. Posner, who has written about antisemitism for over a decade, stated she was horrified by live broadcasts showing crowds chanting "Allahu Akbar" and "Long live Hamas." She described a 15-second video clip ending with a young woman covering her face in bewilderment, a feeling Posner shared.
Posner noted the open display of support for Hamas, including the carrying of Hamas flags and a picture of Hamas leader Sinwar at a memorial rally in Union Square. Protesters allegedly interrupted the commemoration, telling mourners that the Israeli victims of the October 7 massacre had been sent to hell and repeatedly shouting "Go to Poland."
Despite no longer being surprised by such events, Posner stated her revulsion has not diminished. She criticized the tendency to treat the open celebration of a massacre as an unusual phenomenon, asserting that "this is who they are." Posner found it chilling and disturbing to realize that individuals expressing such views live among them as neighbors and colleagues.
