Tensions in Brooklyn are intensifying as police brace for possible confrontations following dueling protests related to Itamar Ben-Gvir's visit. The protests last week were marked by significant incidents, including harassment of women and chants of violence. A new pro-Palestinian protest is planned in response, while pro-Israel groups prepare to counter it. This unrest echoes ongoing debates surrounding Israel and Palestine, highlighting deep-seated divisions within the community, particularly among younger Orthodox musicians and activists denouncing Ben-Gvir's far-right stance.
Many Jewish leaders in NYC have expressed their disapproval of Itamar Ben-Gvir's visit due to his extremist views, prompting renewed protests from both pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel groups.
The recent protests in Crown Heights showcased a clash of ideologies, with hardline pro-Palestinian activists calling for the dismantling of Israel while counter-demonstrators rallied to defend pro-Israel sentiments.
