"Koonings can be heard in the video shouting 'f*ck Israel' and calling the tourists 'baby killers' as they sat together in Times Square. 'Their numbers keep multiplying,' said Koonings. 'These guys killed babies in Palestine!'"
"'We don't want you here,' Koonings told the Israelis, referring to them as 'disgusting' and 'terrorists.' At one point in the video, a man dressed as Spider-Man defended the tourists, telling Koonings, 'You don't need to harass people.'"
"'You don't know anything about them,' said the individual, to which Koonings responded, 'Yes, I do, they're f*cking Israelis.' 'Shut the f*ck up, shut up, Spider-Man,' said Koonings, before continuing to shout at the Israelis."
"Koonings has a history of anti-Israel political activism, having spoken to Iran's Press TV in November 2024 during a hunger strike protesting the war in Gaza."
Jennifer Koonings, a nurse with a history of anti-Israel activism, was fired after a video surfaced showing her harassing Israeli tourists in Times Square. In the video, Koonings shouted derogatory remarks, including calling the tourists 'baby killers' and 'terrorists.' A man dressed as Spider-Man intervened, defending the tourists and criticizing Koonings' behavior. Koonings has previously engaged in anti-Zionist activism, including a hunger strike against the war in Gaza. She was employed by Inspire Mental Health Services, specializing in trauma care for women.
