On February 18, 2025, anti-Israel protests erupted in Brooklyn’s Borough Park, aimed primarily at the existence of the Jewish state rather than the event they claimed to oppose. Despite a month-long cease-fire in Gaza intended to facilitate the exchange of hostages, the protestors’ rhetoric, including calls for 'intifada revolution', reflected a desire for destruction rather than peace. This unrest coincided with the tragic announcement regarding the Bibas family, who were abducted by Hamas, further amplifying the emotional weight of the situation for the Jewish community, exacerbating their grief amid the protests.
An organizer yelled through a megaphone, 'There is only one solution, intifada revolution,' highlighting the violent intentions behind the protests in Borough Park.
The cry 'Settlers, settlers, go back home, Palestine is ours alone' signifies a broader rejection of the Jewish state's existence rather than a genuine call for peace.
As the Jewish community mourns the loss of the Bibas family, the protests serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict and its human toll.
The recent violence in Borough Park coincides with a cease-fire in Gaza, raising questions about the protesters' true intentions amid claims for peace.
