Hundreds of pro-Hamas protesters demonstrated in front of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City on Monday afternoon, accusing the institute of complicity in Israel’s alleged “genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza.
Videos posted to social media show the mob chanting “shame” at a child watching the protest from a window and repeating slogans such as “make sure they hear you, they’re in the windows,” and “another complicit institution: the Sloan Kettering Center … On this day, shame on you. You support genocide, too.”
Police had to block entrances at various medical buildings, which forced patients and visitors to use a different door, according to the New York Post.
Three people, including a 16-year-old boy, were arrested during the protest, New York police officials said.

The hospital has roughly 500 beds for patients. More than 1,400 attending physicians and over 4,000 specially trained nurses work on the center’s staff.
Pro-Hamas protesters have repeatedly caused havoc in New York City in recent weeks amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Earlier this month, protesters took to the streets of lower Manhattan in New York City, where they blocked access to drivers on four bridges, leading to hundreds of arrests and a miserable commute for thousands.
Hamas, the Palestinian terror group that rules Gaza, launched the current conflict in the Middle East with its Oct. 7 massacre across southern Israel. The Jewish state has responded with a defensive war consisting of air strikes and ground operations targeting Hamas in Gaza.
