Condemning the New York City-Democratic Socialists of 
America (NYC–DSA) antisemitic and anti-Israel rally

Whereas, on October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists led a massive

Whereas this gruesome and unprovoked attack took place on 
Shabbat, on the holidays of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat 
Torah in Israel, and on the 50th anniversary of the start 
of the Yom Kippur War; 
Whereas Hamas is a United States-designated Foreign ter-
rorist organization whose founding charter states a com-
mitment to destroying the State of Israel; 
Whereas, on October 7, 2023, following news of the attack, 
the New York City-Democratic Socialists of America 
(NYC–DSA) stated that ‘‘[t]oday’s events are a direct re-
sult of Israel’s apartheid regime’’ and that ‘‘[t]his was 
not unprovoked’’; 
Whereas, on October 7, 2023, the NYC–DSA announced a 
rally in Times Square for October 8, 2023, ‘‘[i]n soli-
darity with the Palestinian people and their right to re-
sist 75 years of occupation and apartheid’’; 
Whereas, during the October 8th rally, attendees chanted 
phrases that supported the Hamas terrorist attack, in-
cluding ‘‘resistance is justified when people are occupied’’ 
and ‘‘by any means necessary’’; 
Whereas one attendee at the rally held up a swastika sign on 
their phone; 
Whereas attendees at the rally stomped on and burned an 
Israeli flag; 
Whereas the presumption that the Hamas-instigated war 
against Israel is the fault of the Jewish state is both 
antisemitic and unequivocally false; and 
Whereas the NYC–DSA rally was condemned as antisemitic 
and anti-Israel by leading New York elected officials in-
cluding New York Governor Kathy Hochul and New York 
City Mayor Eric Adams: Now, therefore, be it
