Protesters Chant ‘We Support Hamas’ Outside NYC Synagogue [WATCH]

A Queens synagogue. A Jewish school. And a chant that makes your stomach drop.

An anti-Israel crowd descended on the Yeshiva of Central Queens synagogue in Kew Gardens Hills Thursday night, waving Palestinian flags and chanting support for Hamas, according to video circulating online.

“Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here,” the group could be heard shouting as police barricaded them across the street from the synagogue.

Across from them, furious counter-protesters waved Israeli flags and chanted, “USA, USA, USA” in an attempt to drown them out.

Assemblyman Sam Berger (D-Queens) said the crowd had to be “sequestered to a residential block, away from the synagogue and two schools they came to harass.”

“I am horrified for the young Jewish families I know who live on that block, huddled with their small children in the late hours of the night as agitators yelled their support for a terrorist organization with a bloody history of murdering Jews,” he said.

The condemnation came fast — and bipartisan.

“Hamas is a terrorist organization that calls for the genocide of Jews,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in an X post. “No matter your political beliefs, this type of rhetoric is disgusting, it’s dangerous, and it has no place in New York.”

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) ripped the demonstration as “insane.”

Mayor Zohran Mamdani hadn’t addressed the chaos as of Friday morning.
