Anti-Zionist protesters disrupt Israel critic Ezra Klein with genocide accusations
Anti-Israel protesters disrupted an event on Wednesday with the Jewish New York Times journalist Ezra Klein, calling him a Nazi and a genocide supporter, according to newly surfaced video.
The protest stood out because Klein is a critic of Israel who has hosted anti-Israel speakers on his show, such as the Columbia University protest leader, Mahmoud Khalil.
Klein spoke at Sarah Lawrence College on Wednesday for an event called “Building Bridges” focused on “how we can collectively move beyond polarization toward shared solutions.”
Video shared with The Times of Israel showed protesters interrupting Klein’s event, holding a sign that says “Nazi normalizer.”
“Why do you think I deny what’s going on in Gaza? I think it’s destruction, apartheid, subjugation,” Klein said.
“Buddy, talk to me. Turn around. I am right here,” he said, as a protester shouted at the audience with his back toward Klein, accusing Klein of backing “genocidal ideology.”
