Keffiyeh-wearing Jewish woman assaulted by pro-Israel mob in New York
A pro-Palestine Jewish woman with an Israeli passport has been violently assaulted by a mob of Zionist extremists outside a prominent Brooklyn synagogue in New York, where a visit by far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir drew tense protests and sparked heavy clashes.
The battered woman said in a post on Instagram that she is Jewish and has an Israeli passport and was wearing a keffiyeh on Thursday night outside Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters in Crown Heights, New York, as Ben-Gvir was giving a speech.
The woman said she was left bloodied with a head wound that required medical attention after a violent mob of mostly Orthodox Jewish counter-protesters attacked and assaulted pro-Palestine protestors.
“The only thing that gives me some joy is that while all the zios were celebrating and laughing at me [I am] over here thinking y’all hit a Jew [with] a damn israhelli passport!!! great job,” the woman wrote.
The violence erupted after pro-Palestine protesters rallied against Ben-Gvir’s visit to the synagogue, which led to clashes with counter protesters and six arrests.
The pro-Israel mob also assaulted and abused another woman during the altercation.

US local media confirmed that footage from the scene had shown “at least one keffiyeh-wearing protester being escorted away with blood on her face” following clashes between anti-Israel protesters and Jewish residents of Crown Heights due to Ben-Gvir’s speech at the synagogue.
At one point, an anti-Israel protester stormed into the room and chanted “Free Palestine” before he was thrown out by security, according to reports.
Hundreds of pro-Palestine demonstrators also staged a protest in New Haven, Connecticut, after the occupying regime’s minister was invited to speak at an event near Yale University’s campus.
Universities and academic institutions across the United States and Europe have been the scene of widespread pretests against Israel's atrocious onslaught on the Gaza Strip over the past year after the regime started ravaging the besieged Palestinian territory on October 7, 2023.
In brazen support for the Israeli genocide, the administration of US President Donald Trump has begun following through on a threat to deport all non-citizen university activists with ties to the pro-Palestine protests, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently saying that Washington had revoked at least 300 foreign students’ visas.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has so far claimed the lives of at least 52,243 Palestinians, and left over 117,640 others injured, apart from thousands of victims feared trapped under rubble and deprived of access to civil defense teams due to Israel’s unbridled aggression.
