NYU ‘STUDENT’ AT ANTI-ISRAEL PROTEST PRAISES NORTH KOREA FOR SUPPORTING
PALESTINIANS

By Emily Crane

Published May 6, 2024, 12:38 p.m. ET

A young woman was filmed at a New York University anti-Israel protest over the
weekend praising North Korea’s support for Palestinians and their “shared
struggle” against oppressors — with the “deranged” and “deluded” viral clip
sparking fierce backlash online.

The footage, which was shared on X by the @thestustustudio account and has
already been viewed more than 2 million times — showed the unidentified woman
giving an apparent “teach-in” Saturday about North Korea’s solidarity with
Palestinians.

“They have always upheld the right of Palestinian people to self determination
and resistance and this is beyond moral and rhetorical support,” said the woman,
who the original poster identified as a student, of North Korea — which has been
ruled by a ruthless dicatorship for decades.

Online footage of a young woman at an NYU protest praising North Korea for its
support of Palestinians has already been viewed more than 2 million times — and
sparked fierce backlash.

“The DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] has actively armed and trained
Palestinian resistance for decades,” she continued, referencing a slew of groups
including the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Democratic Front for the
Liberation of Palestine.

“So while the US is here training the [Israel Occupation Forces] with police,
North Korea is training Palestinian resistance forces.”

Elsewhere, the woman, who covered her face with a mask, declared that North
Korea has “actually never recognized the state of Israel” — prompting a lone
cheer from someone watching on.

North Korea is currently ruled with an iron fist by Kim Jong-Un, its latest
dictator who hails from a long line of family despots and is considered a
dangerous nut.

“Between Koreans and Palestinians, like, of course there’s this shared history
of violence and repression, but more than that with a common oppressor, we have
a shared struggle and we have a shared history of resistance — and that is like
what mostly connects Koreans with Palestinians and the Palestinian struggles,”
the anti-Israel protester said.

“This is proof our current movement for Palestine cannot stop at a ceasefire.
Like, Korea shows us that a ceasefire is not enough. The US is still at war
against North Korea and so we see that in both of these situations we have to go
above ceasefire for the liberation of the people,” the woman said.

The string of clips prompted immediate outrage — with many ripping the woman’s
praise of North Korea as “deranged thinking.

“’North Korea is better than the United States because they train Palestinian
terrorists’ says the NYU student,” GOP Queens Councilwoman Vickie Paladino
tweeted. “Any educational institution that produces this kind of deranged
thinking should be completely dismantled. These are not the good guys.”

Tina Forte, a Republican campaigning against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for
New York’s 14th Congressional District, also chimed in, tweeting, “Wow. Real
shocker here to see the Pro-Hamas crowd applauding North Korea. Perhaps they
should move to North Korea to experience first hand how wonderful it is!
#EnjoyNorthKorea.”

New York Post columnist Piers Morgan bluntly declared, “So dumb … so deluded.”

Veteran UK journalist Andrew Neil added, “The stupidity of the brainwashed knows
no bounds. But I thank her for confirming that one Hamas’s foremost allies is
the most repressive, basket case dictatorship in the world. By their friends
shall ye know them.”

What do you think? Post a comment.

One person raged, “Yes, it has now come to this: at NYU, they are glorifying the
regime of North Korea.” while another wrote, “If you’ve already made the moral
leap of supporting Hamas, why wouldn’t you celebrate the great revolutionary
courage of those noble comrades in North Korea?”

The Post reached out to NYU about the footage Monday but didn’t hear back
immediately.
