"At least three people were detained after agitators swarmed the area near the Young Israel Senior Services of Midwood, which was hosting an event promoting real estate in Israel and the West Bank. 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.""
"The whirlwind demonstration mirrored another protest that wreaked havoc at the historic Park East Synagogue in Manhattan on May 5. Both were organized by anti-Israel activist group Pal-Awda NY/NJ, which promoted the rallies with slogans such as "No settlers on stolen land" and "Stop the sale of stolen Palestinian land." "Neither of these protests would have happened had these venues not chosen to host illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land. 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," the group wrote in response to New York state Sen. Sam Sutton's condemnation."
Anti-Israel demonstrators clashed with counter-protesters near a Brooklyn synagogue hosting an event promoting real estate in Israel and the West Bank. At least three people were detained after agitators swarmed the area. Protesters chanted “Palestine is ours alone” and carried a banner reading “Israel is killing children.” During one altercation, a masked person yanked a girl’s hair and nearly threw her against a parked car. Another man confronted a group carrying a Palestinian flag. At least two teenage pro-Israel protesters were detained, and supporters chanted for police to release them. The event mirrored a similar protest at a Manhattan synagogue organized by Pal-Awda NY/NJ, which criticized venues for hosting sales of Palestinian land.
