The poster urged terrorist supporters to “flood” the Jewish neighborhood of Crown Heights in Brooklyn, New York to drive out the “Zionists”.
The term “flood” was a reference to Oct 7 which Hamas called ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’.
The Hamas supporters tried to assail the main synagogue in Crown Heights which is the home of the Chabad Lubavitch Jewish movement.
Then the terrorist supporters assailed a Brooklyn synagogue used by Syrian Jewish refugees from Muslim terror.
Had Jewish protesters shown up outside a mosque, no matter who was speaking, the media would have treated it as a hate crime, but when Hamas supporters show up outside a synagogue, it’s the fault of the Jews who were walking around their own neighborhood.
The media’s takeaway all about “pro-Israel mobs”. No mention of the fellow with the “Avenge every martyr” sign.
Rep. Jerry Nadler also reacted to the Hamas rally by… condemning the Jews. “Violence is never the answer— whether by counter protesters in Brooklyn or by settlers in the West Bank.”
But violence is always the answer for terrorist supporters who can invade Jewish neighborhoods and still play the victim.
