Make Aliyah or arm up and fight

When laws prevent Jews from keeping ourselves safe, we are required al pi halacha pikuach nefesh to violate the law. If you’re not comfortable with this, make aliyah before its too late and it’s no longer possible with a c”v alt-left presidency in four years

Ask a Rav

This is the liar and fake news is reporting it

It is called spining narrative

You know they will twist everything you say or do. That is why you can’t play their game and fall for the trap

Running after a woman and assaulting her – see it on the clip. Shemt zech nisht? This is Chabad?

Why would an innocent walking by need to be concerned about being filmed and conveniently have a scarf to pull up to their face which is what all these people wear? I didn’t see any innocent frum Jews walking by feel the need to cover their faces.

Where are the comments
April 28, 2025 8:06 pm

Saying community leaders just snap pictures with officials.

These police don’t come out of mid air.

Those comments are purely emotional and missing common sense.

Not innocent

Whether people should have shouted at her is another subject. But don’t believe her. IMO she came to the vile protest with a face scarf because she sympathized with the organized anti-Semitic mob.

So? Running after a woman because she’s protesting Gvir? He didn’t belong in your shul anyway. The Rebbe wouldn’t allow this – especially the running after a woman

This is not to protect the Jews
This is to protect the protesters

The police know what would happen if the 50 protesters showed up to 770

Jews can get beat up for years but when they want to defend themselves there is a huge show of force

We are a lot smarter than these paid nincompoops.
We just have more important things to do with our time.
But if we want to we can each buy two dozen eggs, stand or sit on both sides of the useful idiots crowd and start tossing all at once. Balconies, rooftops work just as well.
Good luck to the police in trying to put a stop to the shower.
Then they can all go back home to their parents basement and cry to their mammies.

And if we really want to put the mayor’s pants in a tizzy we can request the help of all the bored kids under 15. No arrests charges or anything according to the current jungle rules.

It’s also getting hot outside.Don’t our dear neighbors open up the fire hydrants too?
Will probably block off eastern parkway temporarily.
I once saw a massive force of water pouring out of that thing.

sorry but...
April 28, 2025 8:18 pm

we dont need shomrim telling us of our ‘right to defend ourselves’

we are jews that follow the torah – and whether they like it or not, it is our duty to protect ourselves,

in the torah it states: ‘הבא להרגך השכם והרגו’

It's for the ones who won't fight

Ask a Rav if you look at the protests and what situations warrant a response

April 28, 2025 8:19 pm

Remember that we are in galus and living in a host country as we wait for moshiach to come so the bais hamikdash can be rebuilt and we get to return to Yerushalayim again. Do not fight with the haters who stand up against us in every generation which we just said on Pesach. This is what Hashem wants, to make us uncomfortable so that we can do teshuva and let moshiach come. So do not engage in violence and let them just show their own hate against Jews as much as they want. May Hashem watch over Israel and… Read more »

April 28, 2025 8:36 pm

This is no protest!
This is ANTI SEMITISM at its best!
Imagine 50 bochurim going into some Muslim neighborhood, to protest against pallywood… they would be dead!
They are here just to intimidate us!
Our message needs to be loud and clear dont mess with our shtetel!

This is outrageous. Access to 770 is blocked because of these hooligans and 2 bachurim were beaten. Where is leadership?

Thanks for the updates

This is not just anti Zionist anymore rather anti semitic. It became a let’s protest the rent, the Hasidic Jews own the buildings. They steal land here, they charge us rent here to send to Israel etc etc this is pure hate

Chief Ritchie Taylor said there are no known threats

Threat is a crime.

Their precense here is a threat. They should be detained and judged as they should. Otherwise justice and security has nothing to do for us

Lady assaulted

B”H

Was the lady that was assaulted a black or white lady?
I hope for everyone’s sake it was a white. Hashem protect us.
What do the parents teach these kids? If you don’t know how to behave in the Rebbe’s shchuna, get out! We don’t want you!
