Mayor Eric Adams and several other politicians called for Palestine’s Hamas to be destroyed while speaking at a rally in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza on Tuesday evening.
The fury bubbled at the rally organized by the UJA Federation as Israeli New Yorkers and supporters clambered for retribution following Saturday’s attacks in Israel. Mayor Adams joined in with the palpable anger as he peered over a sea of blue and white flags amidst thousands who packed themselves into the plaza on Oct. 10.
