A pair of mourners leaving a memorial service for Henry Kissinger on the Upper East Side were viciously harassed by a group of deranged radicals, according to video footage.
Six radicals trailed an unidentified man and woman who had paid their respects to the former secretary of state at Temple Emanu-El on East 65th Street, waving signs that read “F–k Kissinger” and throwing water at the couple as they walked up Fifth Avenue, a shocking clip posted on X by FreedomNews.TV shows.
“You’ll burn in hell, forever,” one of the far-left zealots shouted at the couple, who partly blocked their faces with an umbrella, while another heckler threatened, “And we will burn your homes, too.”
Hundreds of far-left protesters gathered across the street from the Upper East Side synagogue Thursday to cheer on the diplomat’s death, chanting “Rest in piss” and “Henry Kissinger, blood on your hands” while waving Palestinian flags and signs reading, “Death to US Imperialism,” according to posts and video shared on X.
The demonstration briefly turned violent when a group of protesters surrounded a suited man wearing a pin of an Israeli flag in front of the temple.
After one heckler blew cigarette smoke in the man’s face, he spit at them before grabbing at a sign held by another protester who rushed in his direction, causing police to break up the scene, according to footage.
“The vile display at temple emanu-el isn’t activism, it’s cowardice. targeting a memorial service? a new low for so-called ‘supporters’ who’ve lost sight of basic decency,” one X user wrote.
Kissinger, who left a lasting impact on US foreign policy in the 20th century, died at 100 at his Connecticut home on Nov. 29.
