Democratic Socialists of America members angrily claimed over the weekend that the group’s New York City chapter cracked down on expressing pro-Hamas sentiment on social media.

The chapter’s leadership criticized a joint Instagram post from DSA groups last week that called the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel “resistance against imperialism,” asking for its removal, five Young DSA chapters alleged in a statement. The now-deleted post invited viewers to join an Oct. 7 City Hall protest against Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for supposedly failing the pro-Palestinian cause, the Washington Examiner previously reported.
