“I don’t like white people…I just don’t like…for no reason,” she said in the street interview.

The students say they are demanding a “divestment” of NYU funds from Israel

In the middle of the protest, a handful of young Jewish men sang and prayed against anti-Semitic signals.

The students gathered for the “walkout” protest organized by Ryna Workman, a law student who previously called Hamas’ attack on Israel “necessary.”

There were dozens of Gen Z protesters in Washington Square Park, waving pride flags and wearing kaffiyehs, demanding “freedom for Palestine” and a “repulsion” of Israel’s “genocidal regime.”

NYU spokesman John Beckman told DailyMail.com on Wednesday that the school is working to verify the couple’s identities.

“These signals are anti-Semitic, disgusting and a shame. We do not know the identity of the people depicted, but we are taking this seriously and will investigate.

“To be clear, anti-Semitism is against University rules and violators will be subject to University conduct procedures.”

At the same protest, a young Jewish man was chased by pro-Palestinian supporters who refused to answer when he asked if they supported Hamas.

The young protesters shouted and chanted, led by Workman.

It is the latest in a series of anti-Semitic or anti-Israel incidents in the city.

Over the weekend, middle-aged adults were filmed tearing up and removing posters of Israeli child hostages.

Cheddar reporter Katie Sands Bochman, who is Jewish, was walking her dog in the park at the time of the protest.

She approached the young woman holding the anti-Semitic sign and asked her name.

‘She looked very scared and didn’t want to give it to me. They incited a lot of violence and were very aggressive, but mostly wore masks, which is so cowardly,” Sands Bochman told DailyMail.com.

“They don’t want their faces shown, but they like to incite violence.”

She said that after confronting the youths with the anti-Semitic sign, some other protesters asked to pet her dog.

‘I don’t know if they know what they’re singing or who they’re following. They are so uneducated. It makes me afraid for our country.

“They follow very dangerous people just to, it seems, feel like they’re part of something.”
