Several people at a pro-Israel protest in New York City called for the Gaza Strip to be "flattened" and for genocide against Palestinians, according to a viral video.

"At a Pro-Israel protest in New York City, Zionist activists spoke with me and explicitly called for Arab/ Palestinian genocide," reporter Jeremy Loffredo wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter, alongside the video on Tuesday.

Israel has also stopped the entry of food, fuel and medicine into Gaza, a tiny territory of 2.3 million people—half of them children.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said what Israel "will do to our enemies in the coming days will reverberate with them for generations."

A second man at the protest is seen holding up a phone with photos showing what Gaza looks like today and another portraying the area flattened.

The demonstration in support of Palestinians was condemned by Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul, who described it as "abhorrent and morally repugnant."
