AhlulBayt News Agency: Pro-Palestinian activists disrupted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s book signing event on Thursday at the New York Public Library, protesting his support for Israel.
During the event for Schumer’s book Antisemitism in America, protesters continuously chanted “Free Palestine” and accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.
Some demonstrators criticized Schumer’s support for Israeli policies, shouting slogans such as, “There is a real Holocaust happening in Palestine.” Others called him a “Zionist” and declared, “You don’t speak for the Jewish people. You’re a liar.”
Security eventually removed protesters from the building, but they continued demonstrating outside.
The incident reflects growing opposition within the U.S. against politicians backing Israeli military actions in Gaza.
