Violence spilled onto the Brooklyn streets Monday night as an anti Israel mob clashed with pro Israel counter demonstrators near the Young Israel Senior Services of Midwood.

The synagogue had been hosting a real estate event promoting property in Israel and the West Bank when agitators descended to protest.

The chaos unfolded less than a week after a similar mob disrupted another Jewish house of worship in Manhattan.

Chanting “Palestine is ours alone,” the crowd of pro Palestinian activists carried signs accusing Israel of killing children.

At least three people were arrested as the scene quickly boiled over into physical confrontations that required police intervention.

The evening looked less like peaceful protest and more like outright intimidation of American Jews for daring to support Israel.

One disturbing video showed a masked protester grab a young girl by the hair and nearly slam her into a parked car.

The footage captured the sheer aggression on display.

Another clip showed a man shouting profanities at a group of pro Israel youth while waving a Palestinian flag and daring them to fight.

The venom coming from these so called activists revealed exactly why Jewish communities across New York have been demanding stronger police presence near synagogues.

The NYPD confirmed that two of the pro Israel teens and one anti Israel demonstrator were taken into custody, each accused of throwing objects during the brawl.

Supporters of the detained teens followed officers through the streets, chanting “let them go” and demanding fair treatment.

Police sources said the scuffle was contained before it could spread further through Midwood, a neighborhood with a large Orthodox Jewish population.

The mob action was orchestrated by the radical group Pal Awda NY NJ, which also spearheaded the volatile protest at Manhattan’s Park East Synagogue on May 5.

That earlier demonstration similarly targeted a Jewish event, sparking outrage among local leaders and drawing widespread condemnation.

Pal Awda has made no secret of its disdain for Israel or Jewish organizations that affirm the country’s right to exist.

In a statement after Monday’s violence, the group claimed it bore no responsibility and blamed the Jewish venues themselves for hosting events tied to Israel.

“Neither of these protests would have happened had these venues not chosen to host illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land,” the group declared.

It went on to accuse New York institutions of enabling what it called “ethnic cleansing.”

The doublespeak is stunning. Even as its members attack teenagers and erupt outside synagogues, the organization pretends to hold the moral high ground.

City leaders have begun to take notice of the pattern. Council Speaker Julie Menin recently advanced a proposal to create a buffer zone around houses of worship during protests.

Her legislation, already enacted in April, requires the NYPD to set up physical perimeters when demonstrations threaten to obstruct or intimidate religious gatherings.

Menin’s idea came after Jewish leaders demanded action, saying city officials had turned a blind eye to escalating hostility against Israel supporters.

The NYPD now faces a 45 day deadline to present its official security plan to both the Speaker’s office and City Hall.

According to a spokesman for Menin, the department still has not submitted its plans, even as the threat environment around Jewish institutions continues to grow.

For many residents, that delay raises questions about how committed the city really is to defending religious freedom when it conflicts with the left’s activist base.

The continuing stream of anti Israel rallies across New York highlights a troubling double standard.

When protests target churches or mosques, the outrage is immediate.

But when synagogues are menaced by mobs shouting genocidal slogans, official responses suddenly become cautious and bureaucratic.

The lack of urgency from elected Democrats has left Jewish residents wondering who exactly is standing up for them.

These demonstrations have also exposed a deeper hypocrisy within the activist movement.

Self described human rights groups that rail against “oppression” seem silent when the violence comes from their own side.

They rationalize harassment of Jews as “resistance.” The media plays along, describing the agitators as protesters rather than hatemongers.

Yet anyone watching the footage can see the chaos and terror inflicted on Jewish neighbors simply attending a cultural event.

For conservative New Yorkers, the events in Midwood are a grim reminder of what happens when radical activism replaces law and order.

The same politicians who lecture about tolerance have built a city where Jewish kids need police escorts to attend community events.

Law enforcement deserves credit for restoring calm on Monday night, but there is no denying that the broader environment of permissiveness has emboldened extremists.

As anti Israel activism grows more aggressive, local officials face a choice.

They can continue to appease radical groups that treat Jewish institutions as fair game, or they can reaffirm a basic principle that faith communities deserve safety and respect.

Without that commitment, every synagogue and Jewish center in New York could soon face the same terrifying scenes that played out in Midwood.
