Jewish man harassed by anti-Israel mob on NYC subway train describes masked protester’s cruel taunt: ‘Bro, if you only knew who I was’

A Jewish straphanger who said a masked protester harassed him on a New York City subway train believes the creep was emboldened by having his face shielded — going so far as to taunt: “Bro, if you only knew who I was.”

“It took every once of restraint to not say, ‘You’re wearing a mask, no one knows who you are,'” Josh Savitt, the straphanger, recalled in an interview Friday.

Savitt, 35, exclusively spoke to The Post about the hateful run-in, which unfolded Monday as he came face-to-masked-face with a mob of anti-Israel protesters who swarmed a downtown Manhattan exhibit memorializing the victims of the Oct. 7 Nova Music Festival terror attack.

He felt the experience showed what a revived mask ban could do curtail growing harassment by antisemitic protesters.

WAY before COVIS, I said NO ONE should be able to wear a mask unless it was on HAlloween at a PARTY!

I don’t know who he was, I don’t know who he is, and I don’t care either way.

They wanted masks as part of a Scamdemic to overthrow an election and now they have concerns.

No refunds. Let them deal with mask wearers for the rest of their lives.

If the Jews could simply stop HATING TRUMP so much, they might just realize that there is a way to stop being punching bags for Muslims and other Leftists.

The Lone Ranger wore a mask but he was a good guy who fought for law and order in the early West.
He and his faithful Indian companion, Tonto, always left town after solving the crime problem and leaving a silver bullet.

They have disproportionately worked for the Leftist and “Diversity” takeover for decades.

And now they don’t like the inevitable result, and the rest of us are supposed to come running to help them out.

And after the emergency is over, they go back to denigrating the “Far Right”.

The day we let idiots run amok, wearing masks, was a very bad day for the country. Hiding your identity while committing crimes, should be automatically arrestable.
