Pro-Palestine supporters were filmed chanting intimidating slogans about Zionists on a New York subway car.
The activists could be heard shouting, 'Raise you're hands if you're a Zionist, this is your chance to get out'.
Video shows the slogan being yelled inside the packed subway car by a man, with the crowd shouting his words back.
After there is no response the man shouts, 'Okay, no Zionists here we're good', as a woman adds, 'We don't want no Zionists here', prompting a brief applause.
Elsewhere in the Big Apple, demonstrators were seen unfurling a banner that reads, 'Long Live October 7' in the latest alarming incident of anti-Semitism since the Hamas attack.

The sign was held up during citywide demonstrations, which saw protesters clash with police after hopping turnstiles.
Six people were issued summonses as the crowds moved across the city, ending up outside The Nova Music Festival Exhibition on Wall Street.
The group Within Our Lifetime planned a 'Citywide Day of Rage for Gaza' designed to target museums.
Following Monday's protest, the exhibit announced it would remain open until June 22 despite being due to end on Sunday.
The exhibit memorializes the 364 people killed during the attack on the eponymous festival on October 7.
One of the show's organizers producer Scooter Braun condemned the protesters' actions.
'I don't understand why protesting a memorial for innocent music lovers who were raped and butchered and kidnapped helps,' he said in an Instagram Story.
'Go see the Nova Exhibition and see the truth instead of standing outside listening to yourself.'

The demonstration came days after pro-Palestine activists surrounded the White House and let off flares and smoke bombs.
Thousands of protesters descended on Washington for the rally, which saw supporters bussed across state lines.
Meanwhile, the families of hostages still being held in Gaza recently met with US officials, including national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Attorney General Merrick Garland, whose Justice Department is investigating the deaths and kidnapping of Americans at the hands of Hamas.
The meetings came at a sensitive time as the Biden administration endeavors to get Israel and Hamas to commit to a cease-fire deal to end the eight-month-old war, which has seen more than 36,000 Palestinian's killed in strikes by Israel.
