New York City Mayor Eric Adams said he was “extremely troubled” by the protestors who waved Hamas and Hezbollah flags in front of the Nova music festival exhibit in New York City on Monday night in a “Citywide Day of Rage” sponsored by pro-Palestinian group Within our Lifetime.
The Mayor paid a special visit to the exhibit of Tuesday, in solidarity with the people of Israel.
Hamas should be destroyed, Adams said, adding it was disgusting to see its flag waved. “You cannot call for peace while you’re celebrating what happened on October 7,” he said.
More people should see the Nova exhibit to understand the extent of the devastation that took place on October 7, he added.
The Mayor visited in response to protestors who displayed vile acts of hate outside the exhibit on Monday.
Anti-Israel protesters waved flags of terror groups and chanted slogans championing attacks on Israeli civilians during a chaotic demonstration outside the exhibit on the Nova festival massacre, JPost reported.
Organized by the pro-Palestinian group Within Our Lifetime, the demonstration was dubbed “A Day of Rage for Gaza” and began with a rally at Union Square before participants headed to Wall Street where the exhibit has been set up since April.
“Long live the intifada,” protesters could be heard chanting in video from the demonstration. “Resistance is justified where people are occupied.”
Protesters set off flares, flew flags of Hamas’s armed al-Qassam Brigades terror wing and of the Hezbollah terror group, and carried banners with slogans such as “Long live October 7” and “The Zionists are not Jews and not humans.”

What does the President think? It seems we don’t have one. His immoral, evil, Hamas supporting man needs to be removed from the White House immediately with his whole administration.

That is so incredibly powerful!
Hashem ינקם דמם!! May the hostages be released soon, and may Hashem send Moshiach to finish off the war, heal all those who need healing, both in body and soul, and bring us all to ירושלים now, before yom tov starts!!!
What a bunch of fancy empty words! Every other law in this country has been broken by everyone in government starting with Biden, therefore this law of public speech and demonstrations can be broken to especially when they are not laced, but are full of pure hatred and antisemitism
Eric Adams is all talk! No action!
It takes a man of strong moral convictions to stand up against such hateful, violent insurgents. They don’t care about the truth – they just want others to believe their created ‘facts’. Mayor Adams, May you be healthy and stay safe…. We appreciated your advocacy!
