A pro-Palestinian activist group known as Within Our Lifetime used its considerable social media influence to share a map pinpointing key New York City landmarks, calling for a “globalized intifada.” The post, which was later deleted, mysteriously highlighted locations such as News Corp, NBC News, The New York Times, Chelsea High Line, and the Meta offices (the umbrella company for Facebook and Instagram). The group’s actions garnered strong rebuke from several NYC officials. This alarming event highlights the growing wave of anti-Semitism sweeping across the globe, evidenced by the disturbing chants of anti-Semitic protestors attempting to breach the White House, as they called for the annihilation of Israel.
Should residents of New York City be worried about acts of pro-Palestinian violence after a map of landmarks was posted on social media?
