‘No Shame, No Decency’: Video Shows Anti-Israel Protester Confront CNN Anchor At Synagogue

An anti-Israel protester confronted CNN anchor Dana Bash, who is Jewish, at a synagogue, video that circulated on social media Friday shows.

The Code Pink protester got in Bash’s face on Thursday at the Main Line Reform Temple, where the CNN anchor spoke. The woman accused Bash of contributing to the “genocide,” through her CNN anchor role, stemming from the war in Gaza, launched after Islamic terror group Hamas attacked Israel on Oct 7, 2023.

Bash slammed the Code Pink protester, who she said was clueless, for pretending to be a congregant at the synagogue in a post on social media.

“You came to a place of Jewish worship, stood on the Bhima, near the holy Torah scroll, and pretended to be congregants,” Bash wrote on X Friday. “You have no shame, no decency, and no clue what you’re talking about.”

The protester, an elderly woman wearing a bright red vest, approached Bash and introduced herself as “Liz” before airing out her grievances, video shows.

“I want to tell you that I’m really upset at what I perceive to be the conflation of antisemitism. This is not true, and that is very antisemitic, and very dangerous to our Jewish community and our Jewish values,” the protester said as Bash listened attentively while clutching her papers.

“I just don’t know if you understand that you are being a mouthpiece for the genocide in Gaza. That is wrong. Genocide is the most antisemitic thing out there,” the protester said before pulling out her phone and showing Bash a photo of who she claimed was a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor.

The protester told Bash that the 90-year-old Holocaust survivor sits outside the White House every day in protest of the “Holocaust” in Gaza. (RELATED: ‘Daddy Was A Member Of Hezbollah’: Dem Senator Claps Back At NYT Reporter Over Question On Israel’s War Against Terror)

“Do you have an answer for me?” the woman asked Bash.

“I’m not here to debate. I will just say one thing. Being anti-Israel, anti-Israeli government, is not antisemitic,” Bash told her.

The aggrieved Code Pink demonstrator mentioned pro-Palestine protests on U.S. college campuses, prompting Bash to bring up her own experience with anti-Israel protesters.

“Have you been to the ones at my house where they call me Zionist trash and call for the intifada against me?” Bash said.

The CNN anchor called anti-Israel protesters on college campuses “extremists.” She told the Code Pink protester while many pro-Palestine protests are “genuine,” the ones she was condemning involved chants of “From the River to the Sea” and called for the state of Israel to perish.
