(NY Post) Their views are hard to swallow.
New York City’s omnipresent halal and other street vendors expressed near-universal support for Hamas with many telling the Post the terror group’s Oct. 7 attack in Israel which killed roughly 1,400 people was justified.
“I am Muslim. I am Egyptian. We support Gaza,” declared a Columbus Circle vendor who would only provide his first name, Ahmed.
“Hamas no attacks Israel. Hamas defends herself. Hamas is self-defense, to protect Islam,” he continued.
“Leave our land. No place to Jewish. Israel must leave.”
When asked if Hamas’ attacks in Israel were a “good thing” — Ahmed responded yes.
