On February 2, 2024, Robinson was featured in a video of Robinson getting arrested after trying to rip down a poster of Israeli civilians kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. The incident happened in Times Square, Manhattan.

Robinson was recorded [00:00:01] while trying to rip down the poster from a signpost. Two police officers approached Robinson and pulled Robinson down until Robinson was standing on the sidewalk.

One of the officers said [00:00:05]: “I told you to stop, you son…”

After pulling Robinson aside, the same officer said [00:00:15]: “When I tell you to get down, you get down. You understand?! Walk away.”

As Robinson started walking away from the police, Robinson turned around and spit [00:00:17] forcefully on the ground in the general direction of the police.

The police again apprehended [00:00:22] and handcuffed Robinson. During the arrest, Robinson said [00:00:32] to the pro-Israel protesters at the scene: “Why don’t you go blow up another hospital? Why don’t you go kill 10,000 more kids?”

On October 17, 2023, the terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) fired rockets at Israel from Gaza, one of which misfired and fell on the parking lot of the al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital. Initial media reports blamed Israel. Following the incident, U.S. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib immediately accused the Biden administration of funding Israel’s “genocide” of Palestinian people.
