At the entrance to Disney World in Florida, Abra was a Mekhamrid for the recent protests. Last weekend he was no exception.
The video circulated on the Internet on Saturday and Sunday, where protesters marched to the park entrance with Nazi flags, one apparently dressed in a WWII German uniform.
Two other banners were also displayed in front of the entrance sign: the American flag and another that simply said: “DeSantis Country”.
The National Anti-Defamation League office posted the following statement about the incident on Deadline, which was later posted on Twitter:
ADL condemns the disgusting display of anti-Semitism outside @WaltDisneyWorld in Orlando this weekend. At a time when anti-Jewish hatred is at its peak, it is the duty of all positions of power and leadership to condemn this fanaticism.

The organization’s Florida branch specifically asked public officials to condemn the testimony.
“Florida anti-Semitic incidents increased 50% in 2021 compared to 2020. We ask our public officials to be brave and condemn this latest incident @WaltDisneyWorld and #SpeakUp Against Hate.”

Given the flag displayed in his name during the protest and the state’s recent showdown with Disney, the deadline hit the office of Florida Governor Ron Desantis. We will post any feedback we receive.
We are also getting closer to Disney and will do the same.
Below are the videos and photos of the protesters, the photos posted on Saturday on Reddit and the week of videos on Instagram.
