A 'Zionist' instigator confronted anti-genocide, pro-Palestinian protesters outside the New York Times building in New York, accusing them of supporting terrorism. Protesters repeatedly told her to move on and refused to engage with her. The confrontation escalated when a Jewish woman challenged the instigator, saying, "genocide is not a Jewish value," before telling her that genocide, occupation and violence are not representative of Judaism but of Zionism. The exchange was captured on video outside of the New York Times building. Support stories that matter.
