Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday ripped the “despicable” anti-Israel protesters who mobbed a downtown Manhattan exhibit that memorializes the Oct. 7 terror attacks.
“That is pure antisemitism,” Adams tweeted in a three-minute video, referring to Monday’s heinous protesters who waved Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist flags, unfurled a “Long live October 7th” banner and lamented that Adolf Hitler isn’t around to wipe out Jewish people.

The mayor said protesters were “desecrating the grave of innocent people.” FreedomNewsTVThe video capped a day in which New Yorkers recoiled over the widely condemned protests, which centered around the Nova Music Festival Exhibition on Wall Street.
Adams cut short a Tuesday news conference to film the video and also visited the exhibit, where he embraced a father whose daughters were murdered in the Hamas attacks.
“You do not call for peace and then come to a memorial site,” he told reporters at the exhibit. “That is like you are desecrating the grave of innocent people.”
