Pro-Israel Democrat Beaten, Robbed at Pro-Hamas October 7 Rally in NYC | 7 Oct 2024 | Todd Richman, the co-chair of Democratic Majority for Israel, was beaten and had his Israeli flag stolen on Monday at a pro-Hamas protest in New York City to commemorate the October 7 attack. As Breitbart News reported, there were pro-Hamas demonstrators at Columbia University on Monday, as part of city-wide protests by anti-Israel activists. Video of the protesters circulated on social media as well, with one group of protesters calling for Tel Aviv -- Israel's tech-savvy, left-wing, secular metropolis -- to be destroyed. Richman was a counter-protester. The organization he chairs advocates for pro-Israel policies within the Democratic Party.
