"Get the (expletive) out of New York! cried the protester, Gabriel DeFazio. He was swiftly removed by security, though not before telling the minister he would be remembered as a Nazi and Palestine will be free."
"Ben-Gvir represents a grotesque extreme that for tragic circumstances was elevated to high power. It'd be like a white society putting a KKK member in office."
Far-right Israeli security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's recent visit to the U.S. has ignited widespread protests and exposed deep divisions within American Judaism. His appearances, including a private event in Manhattan and a discussion at a Chabad-Lubavitch center in Brooklyn, were met with large crowds of demonstrators opposed to his views. Protests included arrests and violent encounters, reflecting the outrage against Ben-Gvir's ultranationalist positions. Notably, his visit has also prompted resignations among members of Jewish organizations, signaling a growing rift regarding perceptions of Israeli political figures in the diaspora.
