New York City police arrested three people after an anti-Israel mob swarmed the Young Israel Senior Services of Midwood in Brooklyn on Monday night.
The synagogue hosted “an event promoting real estate in Israel and the West Bank.”
The anti-Israel group Pal-Awda NY/NJ organized the protest. The group uses “slogans such as ‘No settlers on stolen land’ and ‘Stop the sale of stolen Palestinian land.’”
New York State Sen. Sam Sutton condemned the event.
“Neither of these protests would have happened had these venues not chosen to host illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land,” the group responded. “The people of New York will not stand by while the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people is aided and abetted by institutions in our own city.”
From The New York Post:
The anti-Israel mob chanted “Palestine is ours alone,” and several carried a wide banner that read “Israel is killing children.”During one fight, a person who concealed their face with a medical mask yanked a girl’s hair — and nearly threw her against a parked car in the process, according to a video obtained by The Post.Shortly after, another man squared up against a squad of young men carrying a Palestinian flag.“Let’s go, motherf–kers, c’mon! C’mon, motherf–kers!” the man yelled.At least two teenage pro-Israel protesters were detained. As the NYPD marched them down the streets, their supporters followed and chanted for the cops to “let them go.”An anti-Israel protester was also detained, cops said.All three individuals taken into custody had thrown items during the heated protest, according to the NYPD.
Pal-Awda NY/NJ also organized the riot outside of the Park East Synagogue in Manhattan on May 5.
The anti-Israel mob attempted to break through the barriers that protected the synagogue.
One cop received a leg injury and went to the hospital.
