In reply to the discussion: Horrific - a mob harass a single women in Brooklyn [View all]The man arrested at the end appears to have an Israeli accent. I could be wrong. But he also yells to someone "take off your mask". He says he didn't spit at anybody.
This is how it goes. Provocateurs infiltrate the protest, spit or goad, harass etc and usually are unsuccesful. But sometimes they get a response, as seems the case here. But the cops held the protesters back.
Of course what you never see in these videos posted by pro-Israel sites - due to clever editing - is the provocation that preceded the response. As seems the case here.

I wonder if this will make the news. Looks like a very scary situation, even the police officer looks scared

Why wasn't anyone arrested? Even if she is a pro Palestine supporter, why did the police allow these men to assault her?

That's the real take-away. Palestinian protesters lives don't matter to Jews/MAGAs/Nazis

I don't know what you are referring to? All I saw in the video was a group of men terrorizing a woman and a cop.

Mob mentality is scary no matter who it is. I think something takes over. This is not about any one group.

I watched the videos and didn't see anything but protest and chanting

They had a right to do it, but they also knew it was going to provoke the yeshiva bochurs.

Same two groups going back to the same shit sandwich shop for decades is what causes this.

This might have worked on an Upper west side hipster, but not a veteran Brooklynite.

Closer than I expected, but a wrong synagogue nevertheless. And no Ben Gvir in sight.
