A group students accompanied by a teacher from a New York City public school were spotted at a pro-Palestinian rally Wednesday holding antisemitic signs that compared Israeli’s to trash.
Several high school girls from Brooklyn’s Urban Assembly Institute of Math and Science for Young Women brandished signs reading “Please Keep the World Clean” and showing the blue Star of David in a garbage can.
The group of about 20 students, who had attended an New York University pro-Palestine walkout with their teacher in Manhattan’s Washington Square Park, were also heard by a Post reporter chanting for the eradication of Israel.
A 16-year-old girl in the group told The Post they had walked out of class to protest Israel’s “genocide.”
“Everyone is scared of Israel and their hate crimes. [President Joe] Biden is supporting a genocide,” she said.
The Department of Education did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The school, located in Downtown Brooklyn, says on its website that its “mission is to empower” students and that “our students develop their voice, confidence, and capacity to thrive and equitably compete in any college or career of their choice.”
The student’s signs were condemned on the X website as hateful toward Jews.
“Getting tired of seeing very uninformed and hateful people coming out of our education system. There is a serious problem with instilling our values as a society,” said user Alexander R.
Some of the comments wrongly connected the teens to another pro-Palestinian rally in the park involving hundreds of New York University students, which was also part of a nationwide walkout over the war in Israel in the wake of the Hamas terror attack that killed some 1,400.
The college students first gathered at Henry Kaufman Management Center before walking to the Greenwich Village, Manhattan park, most of them clad in masks so they couldn’t be doxxed.
“Everybody mask up. Hide your identity. Not because you’re not proud of what you’re doing, but because these assholes are doxxing us,” one organizer who was wearing a black and white scarf tied over his whole head and sunglasses told the crowd
Organizers also encouraged demonstrating students not to talk to any reporters and to “stick together.”
“If there is some escalation we do not scatter,” the organizer said.
About 300 people then walked to the park, chanting, “Justice is our demand, no peace on stolen land” and “Settlers settlers go back home, Palestine is ours alone.”
About a dozen pro-Israel students showed up to counter-protest, putting their arms around each other while singing songs in Hebrew about 20 feet from the pro-Palestine group, which started chanting louder to drown out the song.
The event came after the president of the university’s law school’s student bar association lost a cushy law job offer after cheering Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack in the school’s newsletter.
