A Monday Instagram post praising Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks sparked conflicting messages from a trio of New York City Democratic Socialists of America groups.
The three groups initially posted the statement jointly with other activist organizations to announce an Oct. 7 protest at New York City Hall, prompting criticism, according to news reports and screenshots posted online. New York City Young Democratic Socialists of America and the City College of New York’s YDSA chapter then removed themselves from the pro-Hamas post, while the third, New School YDSA, still featured it on its account as of Tuesday.
