Todd Richman, co-chair of the Democratic Majority for israel, was physically assaulted by a group of Hamas supporters during a pro-Palestinian protest in New York City. The rally, organized by the group "Within Our Lifetime," turned violent as tensions escalated. Richman was bloodied when one of the protesters struck him with a tambourine and tore away his Israeli flag. This attack occurred during a larger demonstration that included participants waving Hamas headbands, and Hezbollah flags, and chanting anti-Israel slogans.
The protest was initially peaceful, but it quickly became aggressive as demonstrators vandalized property and clashed with pro-Israel supporters. Several protesters were arrested near Times Square after smashing car windows and harassing others. Anti-Israel demonstrations marking the anniversary of the october 7 Hamas attack on israel have been ongoing in various parts of the city since the weekend
One of the comments read, "Luckily all of it was recorded and they can all be identified and prosecuted. That's my hope at least."
Another read, "If they can rip off a flag, we can rip off a mask. Those violent pro-terrorist cowards deserve to be unmasked and held responsible for their criminal acts."
Another read, "If I had to switch places with anyone in that scene, I would rather be in his shoes, getting hit in the face by a tamborine, than any of those soulless, miserable individuals. I've never been more grateful to be on the side I'm on."
