Mob chased Brooklyn woman after mistaking her for protester at speech by Israeli security minister
A Brooklyn woman said she feared for her life as she was chased, kicked, spit at and pelted with objects by a mob of Orthodox Jewish men who mistook her as a participant in a protest against Israel’s far-right security minister.
The assault, recorded by a bystander, unfolded Thursday near the global headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in Crown Heights, where an appearance by Itamar Ben-Gvir set off clashes between pro-Palestinian activists and members of the neighborhood’s large Orthodox Jewish community.
Students and faculty demand Columbia University stand up to federal government
Columbia University students, faculty, staff and alumni launched a "speak out" Monday to criticize school leaders for bowing to the Trump administration's demands after it pulled $400 million in federal funding from the campus.
