Dozens of people were arrested in New York City while protesting against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s participation in the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday.
Actors Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder, as well as activist and whistleblower Chelsea Manning, were among the protesters arrested during a sit-in that blocked a main road leading to the UN.
Handcuffed and escorted by a New York Police Department (NYPD) officer, Einbinder was recorded in a video shared on social media saying, “Netanyahu out of New York, no bombs on Lebanon, no bombs on Iran, stop the genocide.”
Nerdeen Kiswani, founder of Within Our Lifetime, a Palestinian-led community organisation, criticised Mamdani’s video, saying it was “a far cry from campaigning on arresting Netanyahu. Instead of arresting Netanyahu, the NYPD arrested the protesters.
“This is the exact opposite of what Mamdani ran on,” she wrote.
US is going to be the new Argentina. All the genocidal nationalist leaders and their supporters are going to move here after they get called out in their own countries.
The US is the “real” Argentina… forgot all the Nazi scientists you got working for you?
Unlike Argentina, that’s not a myth lol
We’ve been minting our own fascists since Hitler was a twinkle in his father’s eye
The scientists mostly weren’t the problem. It was all the guys they recruited to start the CIA and FBI, etc that did the real damage. And the Argentina thing wasn’t a myth.
Ah, my bad, I was thinking in total Nazi + Nazi collaborators, the US takes the cake there, but yeah Argentina apparently got a lot of the big nazi bosses, thanks to Peron, despite having a smaller absolute number of nazis compared to the US.
And by myth I was thinking of the whole Hitler in the lighthouse thing lmao
