A group of Jewish students from CUNY’s City College were berated and told to “go back to Brooklyn” by anti-Israel protesters outside a kosher deli in Midtown South on Tuesday.
Moti Zilber, owner of Mr. Broadway Deli, described the scene as “very scary” and likened it to Nazi-era Germany, saying, “It feels like we’re in Germany over here.”
The protesters, masked and chanting antisemitic slogans, blocked the entrance and shouted vulgarities at the students, including “Back to Brooklyn, out the Middle East” and “From the river to the sea.”
Zilber stated, “They yelled all kinds of racist things at the students… These were young, violent kids who you can’t even talk to.”
The NYPD responded to a call from the restaurant around 9:30 a.m., and the demonstrators eventually dispersed without further incident.
The incident occurred as City College students met with Hillel International, the world’s largest Jewish campus organization, and comes amid renewed college protests over the war in Gaza.
Columbia University saw dozens of anti-Israel demonstrators on Tuesday, with two arrests made at Barnard College.

America is sick, sick sick….
I want to ask the protests free palestine from who from the palestinians?
maga : “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free OF JEWS”, just like the 1940s slogan promising that from the Ural to the Atlantic, Europe will be free of Jews. Since advocating genocide and ethnic cleansing is politically incorrect even among the Progressive Democrats (such as Harris and Walz), they leave off the last three words, but anyone who isn’t a fool knows whose throats they plan to cut and which ethnicity they wish to clean.
The real question is whether the American police will respond. Consider how they would act if the KKK attacked African Americans in a similar way. If the police response is less than how they would respond if the KKK attacked Blacks, then it is probably time to at the very least ask if need to arm ourselves and/or move (the optimists can go to the “red” states, the pessimists to Eretz Yisrael, etc., the real pessimists might even be asking when colonization of a goy-free planet will be available).
