Hate was diverted.
A pro-Palestinian demonstration that was planned on harassing Jewish residents of Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood on Monday ended up marching only near it, thanks to the intervention of the New York Police Department (NYPD).
Approximately 75 anti-Israel protestors holding Palestinian flags and wearing keffiyehs were met with a huge police presence as they marched from the Barclays Center on Atlantic Avenue towards Crown Heights at around 7:00 PM.
In an announcement for the protest titled “Crown Heights Run it Back!!” organizers stated, “We will flood the streets of Crown’s Heights to inform them Zionism is not welcome here.” It concluded with the slogan “Free Palestine.”
Fears in the Jewish community were that these agitators were looking to repeat the confrontation from Thursday evening, when an Israeli minister visited Chabad World Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway.
The protesters were guided by the NYPD along Flatbush Avenue near Lefferts Avenue, and then as they headed towards Crown Heights, were directed towards Empire Boulevard, along the outskirts of the Crown Heights neighborhood, Shomrim volunteers told COLlive.com.
Two photographers for the community news service COLlive said they were threatened along the route by protestors and were frightened when they were told, “we will kill you.” Thankfully, police immediately intervened.
As the protesters attempted to enter Crown Heights, dozens of officers walked alongside their route as street after street was blocked by lineups of officers on bicycles who continuously maneuvered to cut off the path to Crown Heights. Police vans and cars patrolled the streets as well, the JTA reported.
The crowd then dispersed, unable to enter the Crown Heights neighborhood. Some entered the Subway, accompanied by cops, to ensure safety. The Subway station which exits onto Kingston Avenue near Eastern Parkway, was passed due to security concerns.
The Shomrim Jewish patrol said the NYPD plans to continue their security detail for another hour to maintain safety.
At 770 Eastern Parkway, a crowd of a few hundred Jewish counterprotesters gathered, but began to disperse as the evening wore on. Shomrim members from all over New York City came to Crown Heights to patrol in and around the neighborhood, serving as extra eyes and ears.
Shomrim thanked the NYPD Brooklyn South and 71 Precinct, Chief Richie Taylor and community activist Yaacov Behrman for his leadership.

Suddenly, it’s 1933…Berlin!
Living together in Brooklyn
Moshiach times have arrived
😆
Sounds like they want Brooklyn Jews to make Aliya.
They just have a problem with Jews. Don’t want us to be here, don’t want us to be there.
That Satmar with the Free Palestine sign is actually promoting the death of his nation
It’s not satmar….
It’s not Muslims either. Just libtards dressing up for Purim. They want us to get mad at the local Muslims for no good reason at all. I vote we should continue on with our lives and ignore these fakenstinians.
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH ANTISEMITISM HERE AND ABROAD?
And we’re doing a great job fuelling antisemitism
I was horrified to see the footage of bochurim surrounding at yelling at that woman last week. there is a way to comport ourselves that doesn’t make am yisrael look like animals and bullies. that was not right
That Arab woman had no business being there. She came in with a security escort, started conflicts, got her desired reaction, and the media later claimed she was an “innocent pedestrian.”
She’s not Arab either but a professional white liberal anarchist.
Was also filmed attacking police at some other BLM protest.

Thank you NYPD for getting the job done tonight and keeping Crown Heights safe
And Shomrim!
And Shmira and Chaverim and everyone who helped!
Not sure which is more pathetic, the size of their protest, or the fact that COL sent photographers to it.
Are we that bored that we need to see pictures of these low life’s?
Why is there so much antisemitism here and abroad?
Because the Goyim are jealous that the Jewish Nation alone was chosen to receive the Torah.
Gut gezokt
51 people who think it’s better to live in a bubble.
Thank you hashem! That was a miracle!! We have what to be blessed for.
This is antifa instigators.
Not coming from the Muslim or black community.
It’s all for photo-ops, not genuine.
Hopefully these people fail at trying to get the Muslim or Black communities on board for anarchy and violence like what they accomplished with George Floyd summer.
the muslim community is often being scapegoated the same way we are. the way forward is not by screaming abuses back at people or adding fuel to the fire
Turn the other cheek right? No more this is not 1938 Germany you probably are nostalgic of those days but it’s over
Don’t turn the other cheek.
Just don’t react to the wrong address.
The Muslims had nothing to do with this specific protest.
They might in future ones. But this is not it. No reason to lash out at the wrong target.
Uh the Muslim community didn’t show up to this protest.
Just like satmar didn’t show up either.
It’s all staged. Fake news.
The libtards who did show up in our neighborhood calling for our deaths, deserved exactly what they got.
See Leroy press news.

He’s been reporting on these antifa instigators for years. Same people dress up under different guises, show up in different states and always instigate violence.
He covered this protest too and matched the same lady to a separate protest on something else at another time.
How was a protest name “crown heights run it back” allowed near us in the first place?
Collive photographers threatened, what’s being done about that?
Why is being diverted a thing, this should not be tolerated we are dropping the ball here!
Worked tirelessly with elected officials and other organizations and agencies, also reaching out to our partners in the non Jewish community all who are supporting us. Please before you jump to throw people under the bus, a little lchaf zchus (benefit of the doubt goes a long way) Better to say less and do more. This could have been a lot worse and basically hakaras hatov is in order to NYPD who took a lot of heat for showing up and standing up
These ppl cannot be allowed no where near our kids
Keep your kids inside. Let them read the tora
Ya know?
They already are in charge of the department of education in Brooklyn.
Raising good little communists.
The only reason why they didn’t go close to 770 is because the cops were scared after last time
If they were trying to do the right thing they would never allow this protest legally
Protests are legal
The right to protest the government. The right to protest outside the Israeli embassy. The right to get a permit and “protest” your odious views. No right to threaten and intimidate innocent civilians.
Theirs isn’t a protest. They call for violence
It’s a mostly peaceful protest. While the buildings burned in the background. lol.
We will not put up with it
You cannot silence people.
This is not a protest – this is violence, our leadership didn’t do anything
Good
Job the NYPD ! It’s really sad we have to say this but you stopped a pogrom and saved many Jews Can you only imagine if the cops weren’t around tonight ?
Yeah if the cops weren’t around then the lubavitch batlonim would have made charoses out of the idiots threatening and harassing us.
And be ouver on misgarim beimos and deep chillul hashem. Don’t delete messages the rebbe would write and speak about
We need to think if we would say what we are typing on this site in front of the Rebbe. would you say that in front of the Rebbe? i think (HOPE!) not. so don’t type it here.
This is why the Rebbe called America a Medina Shel Chesed!
However, it’s clearly deteriorating fast.
Move to Eretz Yisroel while you can still find buyers for your homes and cars!
Really? The rebbe respected the law. That’s what police are for. They threatened and you responded with violence
Settling on “near us” is sooooo looser
Dumbest protest ever , all just bored wanna be’s. Stupid idiots – all ugly. They didn’t even come into ch lolll , bh
I know it’s exciting to watch
But do these pictures help spread their message for them?
Of course
That’s their point
To get attention and start a narrative.
Always around May when the weather starts to warm up and the jungle awakens looking for prey
So the “event” broke up after just a few hours! 🙂
====
But seriously, for these zombies, it was a “success” in that they instilled fear here, caused our community to change our evening routine, and mobilized much of Brooklyn’s branches of the NYPD — all for 75 idiot ignoramuses.
Prepared 30 Dozen eggs, oh my what will I do now with so many eggs leftover?
Lol
Send them to Australia
we dont want them they can stay in brooklyn
I’ll take a few dozen off your hands if they’re organic, free range, vac free!
you can’t say we are a people above and then act this way. it’s shameful behavior. what would theRebbe say of this i wonder
You wonder? I hear him being emotionally cahrged at a farbregen now. Boy would they get it…
Thanks to the community leaders that managed to convince the police not to let them come to crown heights.
These protestors are hereby being diagnosed as a combination of evil, and missed-out-on-color-war-when-I-was-a-kid syndrome.
God bless y’all
Remove their photos. They don’t belong on col.
They come all this way to Crown Heights and they didn’t even get to try the food!😋
That’s all there is to say
Now it’s ok for the Jew haters and bloodthirsty Palestine supporters who would have us all be blown to bits by a pro Palestine activist and celebrate the “eye for an eye”, to march around the streets of New York as long as they don’t enter the “Jewish ghetto”.
Keeping the haters out using some sort of boundary such as a wall or police force does not help in the long term. We learned that over the last century.
Address the cancer instead of trying to make sure it doesn’t spread.
What are you going to do about it?
Good luck trying to get haters to stop hating.
Unless you plan on forcing the government to stop allowing our tax dollars to fund these social justice group fronts that are behind these fake protests or plan on implementing school choice, a moment of silence and sheva mitzvos bnei Noah especially the ones with righteous courts, no stealing, belief in Hashem this will just continue
Congratulations to the young chabadniks especially the Israeli ones. Notice there was a very small crowd of protesters. Why. Because last thursday they got crushed and chased out. I was there. These bums were afraid to take the chance. The police as well did not want the confrontation as it puts them in danger as well. Police look at two sides. If one side is violent and has a big crowd they will not allow a confrontation. Just as if the kkk decided to march in Harlem the police would not allow it. They don’t want their officers hurt. I… Read more »
the optics of a huge group of boys chasing one woman is what set this all off. it gets used and twisted by al gezeera for their purposes. we need to comport ourselves with the same aidelkeit we would if the Rebbe was standing in front of you bgashmius
We all saw the chilul Hashem and our hearts broke that frum Jews could be so aggressive and embarrasing
blessings to all
Do they still get paid for the hooliganism if they weren’t able to reach the target?
Weren’t these idiot savages going to flood Crown Heights with protesters? 75 people! What a pathetic turnout. We need to stare them down. Just came back from Israel… did you know Arabs are scared to go into Bat Ayin? Victory through Strength! Hashem is with Am Yisroel!
and what words you’re using.
Hakaras hatov means we must thank Devorah Halberstam for her continuous work on our behalf coordinating w/ the NYPD
There were a number of community leaders involved in this and Hakaras Hatov goes to all, even the smallest efforts help
NYPD did right by moving the protestors which is what should be done, get the protestors out once and for all!
Honestly , why post 71 photos????
You have just afforded them the publicity they desire- and on your ‘penny’!
Ignore them and they’ll go look for another victim.
For inviting and honoring Ben Gvir.
Next time think about what it can instigate.
I hope it was worth it.
Thank you NYPD for keeping these Marxist-Islamist thugs from our neighborhood. If they had come, NY EMTs would have been pick up the pieces of broken Marxist-Islamists from the street, and tensions would have run high.
Same anti semit thugs just with a new mask !
When the news got out that our people counter protesting were more than a thousand the NYPD knew there would have been a blood bath against the Arab loving thugs and they wanted to prevent that from happening. BH for our brave bachurim!
thank you to those who worked with the NYPD to ensure the protest was redirected and that they could not have another confrontation in front of 770.
Why should the city and the people have to pay for those things to act up? Wish Zeresh would have been in those overhead apartments and dumped her wash water. Just sayin.
thats what your worried about? many more important things to worry about
CH residents should be aware of a future anti-Israel protest event coming up May 15 by the anti-Israel protest group “Within Our Lifetime”
May 15, 2025 – Israeli Independence Day – anti-Israel protestors refer to the date as the “Nakba”
I speculate that the anti-Israel protest start at the Brooklyn Museum and then they would try to march eastward to 770, like they have before.
It might also be wise to pre-emptively use and occupy the grassy island street divider for Pro-Israeli Independence Day events so protestors cannot come close to 770.

Shomrim consistently monitors social media and other data sources for potential threats to the community. If they see fit they mobilize with NYPD to ensure the community is safe.
Ty NYPD and Shomrim!❤️
Why do they allow terrorist murderers to pass our residential area these amalekim
