They are sidewalk ministers who use confrontation as their gospel.
Hebrew Israelites practice a theology that says God’s chosen ones — black, Hispanic and Native American people — have strayed and need to be led back to righteousness.
So they post up on street corners in big cities, usually in predominantly black communities, wearing flashy garb — purple shirts or black robes, for instance. They shout, use blunt and sometimes offensive language, and gamely engage in arguments aimed at drawing listeners near.
The attention-grabbing tactics of five of their followers at the Lincoln Memorial on Friday resulted in spectacular consequences. The fringe theology landed in the national spotlight after a viral video surfaced of a group of black Hebrew Israelites profanely clashing with dozens of mostly white Catholic schoolboys wearing “Make America Great Again” caps. That video emerged only after shorter clips posted online showing a confrontation between the students and a Native American elder initially led to heavy criticism of the students.
For the Hebrew Israelites, it was a divine opportunity. Ordinarily, those approached by the group quickly rush by. Though they have been name-checked by Kendrick Lamar in a rap called “Yah,” they have also been denounced by others as a hate group. Provocation is their outreach method of choice.

Seem like phony Jews to me.
Pooooooor me, Israelites!
It looks even funnier written down than it did when Rush said it!
They are phony — and they hate real Jews and blame them for slavery and the problems in the black community.
They are nothing more than black nazis.
Just part of the black uprising in this country.
Do these people ever get ‘doxxed’ and lose their jobs?
Perhaps the editors of this rag think being called “incest babies” was a compliment to these boys. They think they are being clever, but their time will come.
Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers in real time
These people are NOT Israelis nor are they Jewish.
Funny how the NYT fell for this.
There used to be a group of them hanging around the Neighborhood WalMart in our town.
Divine in that they exposed themselves as total idiots. Enjoy your 15 seconds of fame.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course (added by NYTimes)
I mean, aside from the roughly half that are undercover G-men.
