A Brooklyn woman faced a terrifying ordeal when she was attacked by a mob of Orthodox Jewish men who mistakenly believed she was part of a protest against Israel's far-right security minister. Amid tensions in Crown Heights, the woman reported being chased, threatened, and assaulted as she sought safety. Despite the presence of police, the mob's aggression intensified without intervention, raising concerns about community violence and safety during political demonstrations. This incident exemplifies the volatility when differing political views collide in public spaces.
As soon as I pulled up my scarf, a group of 100 men came over immediately and encircled me. 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.
This is America. We got Israel. We got an Army now.
