| This is America. This is what happens in Israel. |
Zionism is not a part of the Jewish faith. It is a political ideology where it was stated that one specific group is entitled by divine grace to occupy the Holy Land.
The Israeli regime is a white supremacist Jewish apartheid ethnostate. Backed by the United States and European Union, Israel has been the center of chaos since its founding in 1948. The country for decades escaped accountability.
This year could be a game changer.
Incidents where men will hide behind their religion when they are committing violent acts.
Where's the Anti-Defamation League at?
A man in a wheelchair was thrown to the ground.
In the video, the alleged assailant, identified as Levi Kabakov, appeared to push Troy McLeod out of his wheelchair amid a dispute.
“Call 911!” a bystander said. “How can you do that to a man in a wheelchair?!”
McLeod said he was walking his dogs in the Crown Heights neighborhood last month when Kabakov confronted him. The alleged attacker claimed McLeod's dogs were bothering his children and demanded that the man in the wheelchair cross the street. McLeod, however, said his dogs were muzzled, calm, and never interacted with the children.
“My dogs are well trained, and even as he was violating me, you can see they did not involve themselves to hurt him,” McLeod said.

As the dispute escalated, Kabakov allegedly grabbed a wooden block from his yard and hit McLeod before pushing him out of his wheelchair.
“I was scared, I was trying to get back up, I was in shock, and thank God someone was there,” McLeod said. “It felt like a vengeful vibe to me because, to the extent of the situation, there was no need for it.”
Kabakov is facing charges of second-degree assault and aggravated menacing. He was arraigned on March 30 and released without bail.
The alleged attacker is scheduled to appear in court in July.
A woman was physically assaulted as she was escorted by a security guard.
A Brooklyn woman said she feared for her life as she was chased, kicked, spit at and pelted with objects by a mob of Orthodox Jewish men who mistook her as a participant in a protest against Israel’s far-right security minister.
The assault, recorded by a bystander, unfolded Thursday near the global headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in Crown Heights, where an appearance by Itamar Ben-Gvir set off clashes between pro-Palestinian activists and members of the neighborhood’s large Orthodox Jewish community.
Ben-Gvir is a wanted criminal. The International Criminal Court has warrants issued for Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant and individuals who participated in the IDF.
Ben-Gvir is also on the list of criminals. The U.S. continues to allow Israelis in without the draconian rules imposed. President Donald J. Trump has issued executive orders for all foreign nationals (execpt Israelis) to register within 30 days or face arrest and permanent banishment.
The woman, a neighborhood resident in her 30s, told The Associated Press she learned of the protest after hearing police helicopters over her apartment. She walked over to investigate around 10:30 p.m. but by then the protest had mostly dispersed. Not wanting to be filmed, she covered her face with a scarf.
“As soon as I pulled up my scarf, a group of 100 men came over immediately and encircled me,” said the woman, who spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety.
‘I had nowhere to go’
“They were shouting at me, threatening to rape me, chanting ‘death to Arabs.’ I thought the police would protect me from the mob, but they did nothing to intervene,” she said.
As the chants grew in intensity, a lone police officer tried to escort her to safety. They were followed for blocks by hundreds of men and boys jeering in Hebrew and English.
Video shows two of the men kicking her in the back, another hurling a traffic cone into her head and a fourth pushing a trash can into her.
“This is America,” one of the men can be heard saying. “We got Israel. We got an Army now.”

At one point, she and the police officer were nearly cornered against a building, the video shows.
“I felt sheer terror,” the woman recalled. “I realized at that point that I couldn’t lead this mob of men to my home. I had nowhere to go. I didn’t know what to do. I was just terrified.”
After several blocks, the officer hustled the woman into a police vehicle, prompting one man to yell, “Get her!” The crowd erupted in cheers as she was driven away.
The woman, a lifelong New Yorker, said she was left with bruises and mentally shaken by the episode, which she said police should investigate as an act of hate.
“I’m afraid to move around the neighborhood where I’ve lived for a decade,” she told the AP. “It doesn’t seem like anyone in any position of power really cares.”
Police investigating
A police spokesperson said one person was arrested and five others were issued summons following the demonstration, but did not say whether anyone involved in assaulting the woman was charged.
Mayor Eric Adams said Sunday that police were investigating “a series of incidents stemming from clashing protests on Thursday that began when a group of anti-Israel protesters surrounded the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters — a Jewish house of worship — in Brooklyn.”
He said police had spoken to a different woman on the pro-Palestinian side of the protest who suffered injuries after she was harassed by counterprotesters. Photos shared online showed that woman with blood streaming down her face.

“Let me be clear: None of this is acceptable, in fact, it is despicable,” Adams added. “New York City will always be a place where people can peacefully protest, but we will not tolerate violence, trespassing, menacing, or threatening.”
The protest was one of several in recent days against Ben-Gvir, an ultranationalist settler leader who is embarking on his first U.S. state visit since joining Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet three years ago.
Previously convicted in Israel of racist incitement and support for a terrorist group, he has called on his supporters to confront Palestinians and assert “Jewish Power.”
The protest against Ben-Gvir’s Brooklyn appearance generated condemnations from some Jewish groups, who accused participants of targeting a religious site.
Chabad-Lubavitch denounces incident
The neighborhood around the Chabad headquarters also was the site of the 1991 Crown Heights riot, in which Black residents outraged by a boy’s death in a crash involving a rabbi’s motorcade attacked Jews, homes and businesses for three days.
A Chabad-Lubavitch spokesman, Rabbi Motti Seligson, denounced both the anti-Ben-Gvir protesters and the mob that chased the woman.
“The violent provocateurs who called for the genocide of Jews in support of terrorists and terrorism — outside a synagogue, in a Jewish neighborhood, where some of the worst antisemitic violence in American history was perpetrated, and where many residents share deep bonds with the victims of Oct. 7 — did so in order to intimidate, provoke, and instill fear,” Seligson said.
“We condemn the crude language and violence of the small breakaway group of young people; such actions are entirely unacceptable and wholly antithetical to the Torah’s values. The fact that a possibly uninvolved bystander got pulled into the melee further underscores the point,” he said.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
