Tensions boil in Brooklyn after clashes outside synagogue, threats to Jewish community
Times of Israel ^ | 04/29/2025 | Luke Tress

Tensions boiled in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown Heights on Monday after videos showed Jews harassing pedestrians at an anti-Israel demonstration, and a call to protest that included threats against the Jewish community.

The friction started in the US neighborhood, the home base of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement, during a Thursday visit by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

I suspect Al Sharpton has returned.

It’s time to define Islam as an international terrorist organization and boot all muslims out of the USA.

Spain had the right idea when the began the expulsion of all muslims out of the country in 1492.

How can it be that the people of Spain 500 years ago were so much smarter than the people of the United States are today?

Well that is a really bad look for the Lubavitch. But it begs some questions: How did the masked Arab woman get to Crown Heights and what on earth did she expect? How did the cops get there? Who (if anyone, set up this video opportunity?

Why are those questions “weird”, cowboy? You think it is normal for a masked Arab woman to be strolling down the streets of Crown Heights? With a police man? And a video cam? Get real.

One, back off with the anger and name calling.

Two quit ignoring the video and saying she didn’t belong in that part of the city, so far no one has seriously responded to what we are seeing on that video and I was hoping someone would.

Au contraire, I said it was a bad look and then asked some legitimate questions. What was an Arab woman flaunting her Arabness doing alone in Crown Heights which is not where she belongs? Was she trying to provoke a response? Who is she? An American? A Jewish girl who is trying to make her family mad? We had one of those in my law school class—a rich Jewish girl who married a Saudi Arabian, went to Saudi Arabia and then thought better of it—so who is this Arab woman who has the Lubavitch community of men so irate and acting like bullies? Where and at what point did the white knight NYPD show up and why not put her in a cop car and whisk her away? Why walk her down the block—where are they headed? Who called or set up the video opportunity? Her friends? The news? This didn’t all just happen spontaneously.

BTW, I am not angry. I am asking legitimate questions, which, if more people could think critically, others would be asking too. Anger is for morons.

The video did not occur in a vacuum—it was a provoked event.

Nothing justifies what we are seeing happening to that woman anymore than what we see from violent black mobs.

I was hoping for some deeper insights to this than a simple defensive denial.

You won’t even explore the set up will you? How she managed to get herself to Crown Heights without a vehicle? Who dropped her off with a video camera operator, the poor innocent little thing, just happened upon what.......a bunch of guys getting out of temple? These guys weren’t just happening by. Think, ansell, think.

Times of Israel HATES Ben Gvir. He is conservative. I have followed their reporting for about a year and a half, and the TOI leftist perspective is rife.

They are good when reporting about military affairs and the war started by hamass. But they are confirmed left deep staters when it comes to Gvir, Netanyahu, the Israei Supreme Court questions, etc.
