U.S. protesters who have lashed out at Israel’s war in Gaza are “celebrating terrorists” and are “the same as Iran,” Rabbi Steven Burg, the head of a global Jewish outreach program, told Newsmax on Sunday.

In an interview on "Sunday Agenda," Burg, the director of Aish HaTorah, said protesters are “attacking every-day people.”

“They're coming in, they’re going to synagogues,” Burg said. “I think that law enforcement is getting overwhelmed because they're really … violent protesters, and I think our country has to stand up and let them know that our country stands for freedom, and we're not going to tolerate the celebration of terrorists.”

According to Burg, “we've been seeing this for a long time.”

“The comparison between Israeli soldiers to Nazi stormtroopers has been insane,” he said. “All they do is try to defend their country.”
