Pro-Palestine ‘Protest’ In America’s Largest Jewish Community… Takes A Dark Turn

Protesting a government to protest policy is one thing. But gathering in an ethnic community and chanting slogans they see as an explicit call to violence is something very different.

If the plan for the ‘protest’ was to invade a Jewish neighborhood on the pretext of ‘protest’ and find Jewish people to assault…? Well, mission accomplished.

An anti-Israel protest erupted into violence and mayhem as a swarm of demonstrators flooded a primarily Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn Tuesday night.
One person was arrested after dozens of agitators chanting “Zionists go to hell” and waving Palestinian flags descended to Borough Park to protest a real estate event, according to police and reports.
“How many kids did you kill today?” anti-Israel protesters chanted to the beat of a snare drum, as some flashed Jewish residents the middle finger, The Times of Israel reported.
The demonstration, organized by anti-Israel activist group Pal-Awda, gathered to protest what they claimed was Palestinian land being sold off to the Jewish state, the group shared in a post on X Monday afternoon.
Amidst the chaos, the protest organizer yelled “There is only one solution, intifada revolution” through a megaphone as others shouted, “settlers settlers go back home, Palestine is ours alone,” the outlet reported. — NYPost

Social media had footage of the event, both before the violence erupted:

NY State government needs to launch an immediate investigation and prosecute anybody involved. This is unacceptable. pic.twitter.com/LEV8EVPkdh

(Original tweet has a spicy description of how the situation devolved.)

Hochul’s amazing knack for the worst possible timing continues. Not long after praising the safety of the subways just before someone was immolated by a stranger, she met with the man responsible for a lethal race riot in NYC on the same day that antisemitic violence was brewing again.

Two medical professionals have been identified as part of the violence, but we will not link the names of unconfirmed allegations. People sometimes get these things wrong, and it’s too easy to ruin an innocent man’s life with a rash pronouncement.

If the ID is accurate, yikes. Of all the people who have ‘no excuse’ for such behavior… medical professionals are near the top of that list.
