The speakers lineup was headlined American Jewish social media influencer Ariel Martin, commonly known as "Baby Ariel," who told the crowd, "Saying the entire world ignored what happened on Oct. 7 is giving these people too much credit. They didn't ignore – they witnessed the horrors, they heard the stories, and then they made a conscious decision to turn a blind eye to the evil of the attackers and instead accuse Israel of being the aggressor and the monster.
"What terrifies me is the very people who are marching against Israel and calling for BDS are my peers, my generation," she added. "The people I have so proudly aligned with in the past in support of humanity and equality for all people. But I guess Jews are the exception. I am disgusted by their words. I am appalled by their lack of education, their willingness to jump on to a bandwagon with no regard for historical fact, and the degree of indoctrination they are blindly following into believing a false version of reality and history."
