A fiery standoff erupted in Boro Park Tuesday night as dozens of Jews took a stand against a pro-Palestinian demonstration, leading to violent confrontations, arrests, injuries, and Heshy Tischler being assaulted
Dov Hikind, a former member of the New York State Legislature and Jewish Defense League (JDL), was seen at the scene, shouting “Am Yisroel Chai!” as tensions boiled over.
The long-time Democrat-turned-Republican joined counter-protesters in calling out the presence of Neturei Karta, a fringe group known for their shameful hatred of their Jewish brothers and sisters. Chants of “Neturei Karta, shame on you!” rang out as the crowd of Jewish demonstrators pushed back against those protesting alongside pro-Hamas activists.
By 9:00 PM, the situation turned violent, as multiple Palestinian protesters physically attacked Jewish individuals at the intersection of 14th Avenue and 36th Street.
NYPD officers quickly moved in to break up the skirmishes and restore order. Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinian demonstrators continued their aggressive tactics, clashing with Jewish counter-protesters at 14th Avenue and 37th Street.
As the crowd grew more hostile, a Palestinian suspect attempted to stab a Jewish man, prompting a rapid NYPD intervention. Officers disarmed and arrested the attacker before any serious harm could be done. Minutes later, in a chilling escalation, a Palestinian terrorist allegedly attempted to ram his vehicle into a group of Jews gathered at the same intersection. Law enforcement intercepted the suspect and took him into custody.
Amid the escalating chaos, Heshy Tischler—a well-known activist and political firebrand—was violently attacked by a Palestinian protester.
Video footage captured the shocking moment as a Palestinian demonstrator punched Tischler and knocked his phone out of his hands.
NYPD officers swiftly arrested the attacker, but not before Tischler sustained injuries that required medical attention from Hatzoloh.
As police continued their efforts to maintain control, the pro-Hamas agitators moved their protest to Church Avenue and Beverley Road. The NYPD maintained a heavy presence in the area to prevent further outbreaks of violence.

These גרויסע חכמים now kindled the fire on the other side, and we need to daven they don’t come any time at any place to attack…
Wondering who invented them to a Jewish event? The Yiddish speaking Hamas members living in our communities!
all I could say is how lucky we all are that we are jewish the differences are noticeably VERY different
Am Yisrael Chai
Rabbi avigdor miller used to quote a Chinese proverb: A hero isn’t the one who fights back but rather the one who runs away avoiding confrontation altogether. Does it apply here what does the olam think?
The Jews there waving the Zionist flag are worse than the Jews there waving the Palestinian flag.
Am Yisroel Chai
Bloodshed?????
Counter protesting is ALWAYS counter productive.
The headline here is clickbait sensationalist.
Joseph,
The Jews there waving the Palestinian flag, your quisling heroes, are just like kapos during the Holocaust, the worst scum of all.
You can always be counted on to defend NK, Lev Tahor, as well as every abuser and murderer who dresses charedi.
How’s your bestie, the “ger tzedek” doing? Have you visited your good friend Levi Aron in jail lately?
The yidden on the Palestinian side are getting carried away too far by an idea that’s still ultimately rooted in daas torah. The yidden on the Zionist’s side I guess really feel like they’re accomplishing something. What bothers me, is how the “in- the- middle” “classic Boro Park yid” allows themselves to even be seen next to “mechalilei shem shamayim” like Tischler and “boorish am haaratzim” like hikind. או לרשע או לשכנו
i live a few blocks away & and my two young bucherim wanted to watch the action , despite me as a parent telling them 10x its nonsense if all the bucherim dont go for night activity.. it would be nothing…
tishler not happy he got punched in the face , but he deserves a good kick for embarrassing our community time and again .
but this headline BLOODSHED , using serious words to discuss a bunch of hooting & shoving read some books what a pogrom looked like
its a nes that they dont bother us year round
I went to a shiur tonite. Nobody came to try to stop us from learning. The lights were on and the heater was warm. Make good use of your time in this world. The dogs will always bark, let them. The people who go and yell back are just wasting their precious time. If you honestly believe we’re in more danger if Jews don’t show up and counter protest then you don’t believe in anything from the one above
The jewish and arab communities in brookyln having been living in peace for many years even though they are somewhat close in proximity. So why in the world would anyone think of messing with the arabs???!!!! There is so much more to lose than there is to gain..
I went to a lecture tonight instead, nobody came to stop us from learning. The lights stayed on and it was nice and warm. You see there’s way more productive uses of your time than this. Showing up to yell at a bunch of dogs does nothing for your next world, and shows your lack of faith in Hashem who does a great job protecting our community without your help. Stop showing up to these stupid things and find something to do that counts
Funny how it’s always the pro Palestinians who feel the need to cover their faces. Are they all THAT ugly 🤔
what a disgrace bringing that zionist flag anywhere near yidden.
My yeshiva is 2 blocks away and i hope nothing bad happens as a result of the protest
Not sure why yidden felt the need to go and face off with these Hamas sympathizers or perhaps Hamas terrorists. Don’t we yidden have better things to do than to try to show how right we are?? Had yidden not shown up last night, it would have been a relatively non violent demonstration secured by the NYPD and it probably would have been a non story, but yidden thought they were doing G-d’s work by going there to show them what “we are all about” and that’s why we had the situation last night.
I like the way these Hikind zionists live here.
Standing up to hate and standing together is Hashem’s avoidah.
Passivity is what led to haters continuing to attack our communities.
They will not stop. We dare not rely on NYPD or law enforcement anywhere. We must be armed and ready with courage in tow. Hashem helps those who help themselves.
Am Yisroel Chai. Unity is what gives us an added measure of protection by the way.
Isn’t there a new law about NOT wearing any face covering during protests?
One wonders what would have happened had New York had a WOKE mayor (which may be the case very soon), who would tell the police to protect the anti-Jewish demonstrators. The fact that such mobs are allowed to assemble is very ominous, suggesting that our future in America is not very bright, or at least we’ll have to be organized to defend ourselves.
the shtetl mentality is alive and well on ywn. it didn’t work in 1942 and it isn’t working now. kahane was right.
@yeshiva world self hating jews always wrighting articles knocking other ppl down shame on you
