Anti-Israel protesters in New York claim they were assaulted by staff at Egyptian UN mission [IsraelTimes] Anti-Israel activists in New York City claim they were assaulted yesterday by staff at the Egyptian mission to the UN. Video shows men at the mission pulling two activists into the building and appearing to strike them. Other footage shows two young men being escorted from the mission by police officers after the incident. They appear unscathed. It’s unclear what preceded the altercation. The protesters are holding regular rallies at the mission demanding Egypt do more to aid the Palestinians. The footage is shared widely by activist groups and spurs calls for additional rallies at the mission, including later today. The incident comes days after a video leaked of Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty berating Egypt’s ambassador to The Netherlands, asserting that the mission’s staff needs to take a harder line against those protesting outside the embassy. Protests have ramped up around the UN ahead of the UN General Assembly next month. The rallies are led by Within Our Lifetime, a hardline activist group that advocates for the violent destruction of Israel.
…now its thugs have assaulted protestors in NYC with a bike chain, handing them over to the NYPD. Across the world, Egyptian embassies are violently repressing protestors calling to break the siege and let food into Gaza. This regime normalizes with Israel, aids the blockade, and now exports its repression to our streets. We will not rest until Egypt opens Rafah, ends its collaboration with Israel, and takes action to stop the genocide. 📍 Join us at the Egyptian Mission, 304 E 44th St #306, New York, NY 10017. ✊🏽 Stand against complicity. Stand with Palestine. 🇵🇸 From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
