Anti-Israel activists hold funeral event for terror chief Nasrallah in NYC

2025-02-24

[IsraelTimes] Several dozen anti-Israel protesters hold a funeral for Hezbollah terror leader Hassan Nasrallah in New York City.

The protest takes place in Manhattan’s Washington Square Park on the same day as Nasrallah’s funeral in Lebanon.

The protesters chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine is almost free,” “Settlers settlers go back home, Palestine is ours alone,” and “From New York to Gaza, globalize the intifada.”

Several people in the crowd hold photos of Nasrallah and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. A Hezbollah flag hangs at the head of the group.

Several dozen pro-Israel counterprotesters blow air horns, wave Israeli and American flags and chant, “USA.” Police separate the two groups.

“Fuck Palestine,” a passerby shouts.

Unlike most anti-Israel rallies in the city, there appear to be more pro-Israel counterprotesters.

Courtesy of Skidmark, the Jerusalem Post reports on the organizers of the thing:

A vigil for Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine, Hezbollah’s former executive council head, was scheduled to be held in New York City on Sunday, mirroring the terrorist group’s funeral ceremony in Beirut earlier in the day.

The Bronx Anti-War Coalition

…the usual communist Black Bloc protest group doing the bidding of Iran because they hate Jews as a matter of principle …

called on supporters' to bring flags, flowers, and candles to Washington Square Park to pay tribute to Nasrallah and Safieddine, “who both ascended to martyrdom” when killed in separate Israeli airstrikes last year.

“Let us demonstrate to the world in the heart of the empire that the path of Resistance is immortal,” the group said Saturday on Instagram.

The revolutionary group shared calls from Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine to participate in the funeral service in Beirut.

Betar US, a Revisionist Zionist movement, on Saturday said it would film the event and provide footage to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

A brilliant idea! No point in giving it to the NYPD, who wouldn’t be permitted to act on it anyway.

It urged US citizens to protest at the event and bring Israeli and American flags.

“Nasrallah killed hundreds of Americans and Jews,” Betar US said on X/Twitter. “This is a terrorist event.”

ALLEGATIONS OF 'ZIONIST' PLOT TO ATTACK
Within Our Lifetime

…Palestinian anti-Israel group, also working for the Mad Mullahs of Iran, among others…

leader Nerdeen Kiswnani said Zionist groups were planning to attack the event.

“Regardless of where you ideologically lie, they shouldn’t be emboldened enough to crash every pro-resistance pro-Palestine event and action in NYC,” he wrote on X.

#2 I like the idea of holding a funeral event for Nasrallah. We can have balloons and champagne and strippers and tequila and little snack cakes that look like pagers. Aloha Snackbar!

As for the American Communist Party dudes, it is hard to see how anyone with a brain could be a communist in this day and age. Did you sleep thru the last hundred years of history?
