“It’s HORRIFIC. What has become of this city,” she added. “This is truly an alternate universe. Do we even have a future here?” 

Biden finally broke his silence to express outrage at the senseless death of Goldberg-Polin. On October 7, at a music festival for peace in Israel, Hersh was an innocent victim who was wounded In the brutal attack. He lost his arm helping friends and strangers during Hamas’ savage massacre. He also promised that “Leaders of Hamas will pay for their crimes.”

The IDF named the six Israeli citizens kidnapped and murdered by Hamas as Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Ori Danino, Eden Yerushalmi, Almog Sarusi, Alexander Lobanov, and Carmel Gat.

The comment by the protester took place at a “Flood New York City for Gaza” rally on Labor Day, as throngs of demonstrators — some waving Hamas flags — marched through Manhattan and set off flares and smoke bombs. 

Protests that started in Union Square moved onto Washington Square Park, where some protesters got into skirmishes with NYPD cops trying to corral the demonstrations.
