Actor Michael Rapaport unleased on radical New York Governor Kathy Hochul following an anti-Israel protest outside of a Manhattan synagogue that turned ugly on Tuesday night tell her she should, “resign in shame.”

During the protest, the pro-Palestine crowd chanted “Death to the IDF,” “Long live the intifada,” and proclaimed that “Israel should not exist,” as a Hezbollah flag waved in the crowd.

Times of Israel reports:

Protests outside synagogues in the city tend to be especially vitriolic.

Activist groups around the city are sharing advertisements for the protest, while Jewish community members are circulating calls for a counter-demonstration.

In November, Pal-Awda protested outside the same synagogue. The demonstrators harassed Jewish passersby with antisemitic epithets and chanted “Death to the IDF” and “We need to make them scared.”

That demonstration, targeting an event about moving to Israel, sparked outrage, leading to New York City Council legislation that requires the police to formulate and publicize plans for handling protests at houses of worship. The legislation became law last month, but police are not yet required to implement new measures.

Rapaport took to social media to slam Hochul writing on X, “HALLOWEEN SPRING FLING, Now right now in NYC, lunatics dressed in Halloween terra costumes are outside of…. You guessed it a Synagogue in NYC.”

“@GovKathyHochul you’ve had 3 years to do a mask mandate & see if this stops the bullshit, you did nothing.”
“RESIGN in SHAME.”

 

The protest comes after radical socialist NY Zohran Mamdani’s first veto in office which jettisoned a bipartisan bill aimed at combatting antizemitism.

The bill, Intro 175-B, would have required the NYPD to create and publicize plans for protest-free security perimeters (buffer zones) around schools and educational institutions during protests.

It was part of the New York City Council’s Five-Point Action Plan to Combat Antisemitism, introduced after multiple incidents of antisemitic protests near Jewish schools, yeshivas, and institutions especially following the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.

Mamdani claimed in a statement that the bill was too broad, raised First Amendment concerns, and could restrict legitimate protests like the “mostly peaceful”  pro-Palestinian demonstrations that terrorized Jewish students on college campuses in the city.

Introduction 1-B, a companion bill for houses of worship, passed with a veto-proof majority.

Intro 1-B requires the NYPD to create and publicly post plans for security perimeters (buffer zones) around houses of worship (synagogues, churches, mosques, etc.) during protests to prevent obstruction, intimidation, or interference with access.
