A protester at New York University (NYU) was caught on film spitting on a banner that said 'Jewish' and then created a sign that said 'Jewish Supremacy.'
A protestor attending a rally at New York University flagrantly spit on a banner that said 'Jewish' then used it to create a sign that said 'Jewish Supremacy' in front of onlookers in a new video obtained by Fox News. Approximately 100 people attended the pro-Palestinian rally on Thursday, where protesters called for the school to cancel a study abroad program that would send students to Tel Aviv, Israel.
Speaking with Fox News Digital, NYU Senior Vice President for Public Affairs and Strategic Communications John Beckman said the individual in the video has no connection to NYU and NYPD officials identified him as a well-known antisemite who can often be found in front of the Israeli embassy and midtown. Beckman said the man often tries to attach himself to pro-Palestinian demonstrations and tries to provoke others into violent reactions.
Protests over the Israel-Hamas war have broken out across the NYU campus in recent weeks. Last week, professors and students, who are members of Students for Justice in Palestine and the recently formed faculty group, took over the NYU library for around 90 minutes, hanging banners and chanting while some professors spoke to a crowd of dozens of people. A petition subsequently circulated, demanding the university create a safe environment for Jewish students at NYU.
few days later, members of New York's Tisch family projected the faces of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas onto the NYU library building to support Jewish students after posters showing similar photos were ripped down. One student had previously admitted to tearing down the posters and confessed that her actions were based on 'misplaced anger.' NYU spokesman Joseph Tierlla later said the school took the matter seriously and was investigating.
