Members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in New York City faced internal conflict after leadership removed a joint Instagram post about the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel.
The post, which was later deleted, described the event as 'resistance against imperialism' and encouraged viewers to attend a City Hall protest.
Five Young DSA chapters issued a statement accusing the chapter’s leadership of suppressing free speech by requesting the post’s removal.
The Washington Examiner previously reported that the post invited participants to protest Democratic New York City Mayor Zoh. Mamdani for alleged failures in supporting the pro-Palestinian cause.
