On April 20, 2022, Matt Greenman, a Jewish man, was assaulted and beaten in an antisemitic hate crime in New York City while watching a pro-Palestinian demonstration organized by pro-Palestinian group Within Our Lifetime. Saadah Masoud, one of the group's founders, pled guilty to the attack on Greenman and two other Jews and was sentenced to 18 months in prison in March 2023.

The attack occurred amid elevated antisemitism and extremist violence in New York and elsewhere in the aftermath of the 2022 Al-Aqsa clashes and was seen as part of a surge of hate crimes prosecutions by the U.S. Department of Justice.
