Times Square Rally Exposes Divisions Over Israel-Palestine Conflict
New York City's Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) chapter is facing backlash after promoting a pro-Palestine rally in Times Square. While the DSA leadership clarified that they did not organize the event, several lawmakers with DSA ties are distancing themselves from the rally's messaging. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the "bigotry and callousness" expressed at the rally, emphasizing the need to reject both Hamas' attacks and the injustices faced by Palestinians. The DSA, known for its criticism of Israel, has faced criticism in the past for its stance. New York politicians from both parties, including Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul, condemned the rally, and there may be political repercussions for elected officials endorsed by the DSA.
