Pro- “Palestinian” demonstrators assault Jewish leader at Brooklyn Nets game, break his nose

Oct 8, 2014 4:39 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic antisemitism: increasingly open, virulent, and violent, both in Europe and the U.S., while law enforcement and government officials wring their hands over “Islamophobia.”

“Jewish Leader Attacked at Brooklyn Nets Game by Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators,” by Gabe Friedman, Jewish Daily Forward, October 8, 2014 (thanks to golem bar):

The Jewish leader of a Brooklyn community center says he was beaten by pro-Palestinian demonstrators in front of his children after a Brooklyn Nets game against Israeli champions Maccabi Tel Aviv at the Barclay’s Center.

Leonard Petlakh, director of the Kings Bay Y, said protestors shouting “Free Palestine” and “Your people are murderers,” accosted him as he left the game in downtown Brooklyn. One of them struck Petlakh in the face, he said.

“It’s ridiculous,” Petlakh told The Forward. “It’s not about the Middle East, it’s about sports.

Petlakh suffered a broken nose and a cut that required eight stitches after the attack, which he said was being investigated by police as an anti-Semitic hate crime.

Petlakh said he hoped, “vile anti-Semitic hooligans masquerading as anti-Zionists will be caught soon.”

The NYPD could not immediately be reached for comment on the incident.

Around 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators turned out to protest the Nets hosting a Friends of the Israel Defense Forces fundraiser during the exhibition contest.

Several groups, including the New York chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace, Adalah New York, and Direct Action Front For Palestine, took part in the protest, which blasted the Nets for hosting 12 wounded Israeli soldiers.

A Jewish Voice for Peace press release stated that it was “particularly offensive for the Friends of the IDF to hold a VIP reception and fundraiser at the Barclay Center in light of Israel’s brutal assault on the Palestinians of Gaza this summer.”

Petlakh said that the protestors were yelling obscenities and that he had to ask them to move out of his way after the game. That was when a protestor filming the scene on his camera phone punched him, causing a bloody scene….

    Each and everyone of us must learn how to fight back. Intimidation and thuggery will stop when when every action will be met with the proper reaction.
    Self-defense is a God given right and a duty.

      Agreed. And an added means of fighting back for each of us as Christians is prayer- as well as all other means!

    Nothing to worry about, Jewish Daily Forward. Any perception this event fits within the “Islamic Jew hatred, it’s in the Quran” ad by Pamela Geller is merely coincidental.

      You’ve got a point. Geller and Spencer have taken the right approach, the only approach that can save us: fact of fiction. Reality. But until fact-over-reality becomes a prevalent thing in dicussing Moslems in all high exposure venues, I’m afraid they’ve got us by the short hairs. Maybe cuz they have the long hairs.

      Krav Maga is good but it is not enough. We have to stop Obama’s policy of flooding the country with Muslim immigrants and we need guns.

    I tellya, it’s high time that every pubic liberal Jew in the world steps forward and reconciles their progressive belief system with antisemitism. In particular, they need to explain why there is basically no criticsm at all of a group that self-identifies as Jew haters. What about that? Account for that.

    My prejudiced assumption whenever I first meet a Jew, and I don’t apologize at all for it, is that the person is probably a higher quality sort, but stay away from politics because the person is probably a progressive. In other words, he’s probably a fact-avoidant dumbass when it comes to political matters. There are many exceptions to this, I know a few personally. But, c’mon, give up on the dream, guys. Fer Chrissakes, the BBC came out just a couple months ago as a card carrying member of the blame-it-on-the-Jews crowd.

    Account for this: How can group hatred be not ok for some and ok for others. Why?

    Jewish Voice for Peace protesting this event?
    They should read Isaiah 48:22 and 57:21. And then think about how it applies to them personally.
    And then they should read the account relating when some Jews were fleeing the armies of Babylon and the Edomites and Moabites were catching them and handing them over to the Babylonian armies. (Jeremiah 49:7-…and Obadiah 1 esp. The entire chapter of this small book should be read.)
    These thugs believe they have immunity from punishment, but have many surprises coming.

    Pro- “Palestinian” demonstrators assault Jewish leader at Brooklyn Nets game, break his nose
    ………………………………..

    I have to admit that I am stunned that this open, violent Jew-hatred—lightly cloaked as “pro-Palestinian” protest”—is now in America.

    I knew that this viciousness was already rife in Britain and Europe, and that it was coming—but the shear speed of this metastasizing Jew-hatred keeps catching me unaware.

    Also—to accuse someone of supporting violence and then *break his nose*. What projection.

    Hard to know if the assailant was a Muslim thug or a Leftist thug—of course, it hardly matters. Both are reveling in violent antisemitism.

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      Oct 8, 2014 at 6:27 pm

      Well, the whole Palestinian myth is a highly active fictive reality these days, this is to be expected from people agitated to action by a self-serving falsehood.

    i would really love to meet this jewish voice of peace which talks about brutal attacks on the palestinian people….a:i want them to come over to the parents of the 4 year old child that died from a ricochet from a missile shot from a populated area in gaza anf tell me israel is the brtual one.
    b.if they would set foot in gaza, do they actually think anyone would care they are from the voice of peace(whatever that means??)no, they would be lynched because the only thing that matters to these people is that they hate jews…so how could you be so blind to see what’s really going on here?i don’t know if it’s jew-hatred or just plain stupidity but really, give them a month in gaza and that would be the end of it…

    Muslim Jew hatred and violent jihad, same old same old…and meanwhile Harvard students state that the US is a bigger threat than ISIS. Do you see where all of this is going? I believe that is will end badly. Pray hard and without ceasing.

    Typical muslims
    They all revere the sociopath Muhammad who personally decapitated 600 – 900 unarmed Jews…so assaulting Jews is in their DNA…

    Dear NYPD:

    If those visibly identifiable as Jews are being attacked in *your* city – and your records should be telling you in what places and by whom – then *I* think it’s time for Sting Ops.

    Next time there’s one of these “Pro-Palestine” demos – and you ought to know when and where they’re happening – turn loose a little, bleating “goat” in the vicinity. Or two or three.

    Somebody who *looks* like an inoffensive meek-and-mild Jewish girl or boy, in a “I Love Israel” T-shirt, or anything else that says loud and clear “I am a Jew, and I support Israel”. (Make sure that, from suitable vantage points, everything that then transpires is visually and aurally recorded; the “goat” him/ herself could be carrying mini recording devices).

    Then, as and when the “bait” is taken – and an assault is attempted by Jew-hating mohammedthugs and/ or their associated non-Muslim Jew-haters – **bring down the hammer of God**. Out from behind every rock jump the no-nonsense fully equipped riot police…and the dog squad.

    The attackers to get the full treatment, just like the fare-jumpers got when the subways were being cleaned up, only *more so*. Arrest; all identifying details (retina scan, fingerprint, dna sample – and check fingerprint and dna against the “unsolved crimes” database, just in case), background check, citizenship / immigration status check, criminal and welfare record check…turn upside down and shake to see what falls out of pocketses (illegal weapons? drugs?), check who they’ve been calling on their mobile phones, swab for explosive and illegal drug residue, let the sniffer dogs give them a thorough going-over; and *interrogate*.

    Follow up, thoroughly, any and all “leads” or evidence of criminal activity that may well be thus discovered, besides charging, prosecuting and punishing them for the crime of assault that they were just caught attempting to perpetrate.

    Do that a few times and life for Jews in NYC – and probably everywhere else in the USA that the mohammedans and their nasty catspaws have been starting to “feel their oats” – will become much safer and more peaceful.

    A similar course of action could be profitably pursued by infidel police in the UK, in France, in Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and everywhere else in “the west” that Muslims in the street (or in cases like this, rabidly Jew-hating proxies and fellow-travellers of the Mohammedans) have been attacking visibly-identifiable Jews. There have also been cases of attacks upon unislamically dressed females, gays (this, particularly, in Holland), people with dogs, guys carrying alcohol, and gay or hetero couples who are out in public hand-in-hand and happen to wander into turf claimed by the Allah Gang. In France and Scandinavia, there are attacks upon police officers and emergency services personnel who enter into Allah Gang “territory” in the cities.

    In *all* these cases, I think a blitz of Sting Ops is long, long overdue.

    You *know* the Mohammedans in area X are wont to attack non-Muslim targets of a certain kind?

    Well: send in “bait” that fits the prey description…and ambush the ambushers. By deploying – suddenly, unexpectedly – massive and overwhelming force, the instant that the “bait” is taken. And then following through, relentlessly, to impose Consequences on all those arrested. And ignoring all the squarkings that will arise from the usual suspects.

    I support Friends of IDF, whom this articles states had this event as a fundraiser. I live in a small community, where no such thing has yet occurred due to Jews being low key. An Israeli Dance Group performance was not publicized to avoid any problems. Not that we should have to live like this in the US. Private Security guards are now needed at such events or any public gathering of Jews.

    Great article about the IDF:

    Daily Mail 16 July 2014
    A group of 150 Jewish men were seen brandishing iron bars & cans of pepper spray as they clashed with Pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Paris.
    Video footage of the clashes show the group chanting racist slogans as they roam the streets.

    It looks like everyone is at it – like everyone loves a good session of violence.

    Islamophobia? Damn right, if you know your Latin! I’d be afraid of someone who just might have it in his paranoid and ill-educated head that he wants to hurt or kill me and/or my family!

    Islamophobic and proud of it????
