NYC Firefighter Tears Into Pro-Gaza Protesters at 9/11 Memorial: ‘Go Back… Take Mamdani with You!’
A firefighter in new York City gained attention on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 for strongly criticizing protestors demonstrating near a memorial service in support of Palestine. In a viral video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the firefighter used explicit language to call a protester dressed as Elmo with a Palestine flag an “anti-American motherf***er” and urged him to return to Palestine. The firefighter also expressed hostility toward prominent democratic figures sympathetic to Islam, specifically mentioning Obama, Mamdani, AOC, and Hochul, and told them to leave. Amidst the confrontation, a Palestine supporter shouted about Jewish genocide.
Additionally, during the anniversary, a separate incident occurred at Yankee Stadium where a man waved a Palestine flag and ran onto the field, leading to charges of interference and trespassing.Fans responded with chants of “USA” once he was tackled. These events exemplify the tense and politicized atmosphere surrounding the 9/11 commemoration, with some participants using the occasion to voice divisive views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“Go back to f***ing Palestine. We don’t want you here!” the firefighter added.
The first responder’s impassioend rant also called out several leading Democrats for their sympathy toward Islam.
“And take f***ing Obama. Take f***ing Mamdani with you, and f***ing AOC. And Hochul. Take them all!”
New York City Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani is a Muslim, while New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul recently garnered criticism for wearing a hijab in a mosque.
“They’re all no f***ing good. You’re no f***ing good,” the firefighter made clear.
In response, one Palestine supporter appeared to shout, “The Jews are committing a genocide!”
The Palestine protesters near the memorial service were by no means the only ones making the landmark anniversary of the worst terror attack in U.S. history about their views on the Hamas-Israel conflict.
During the 9/11 anniversary game at Yankee Stadium, 38-year-old Kelly Marcucci waved a Palestine flag and rushed the field, after which he was tackled to the ground.

Fans started chanting “USA!” once he was brought down.
