Brooklyn community activist Heshy Tischler was assaulted at a pro-Hamas protest in Boro Park on Tuesday night after infiltrating the demonstration under the pseudonym “Mohammed El-Tish.” Speaking with YWN on Wednesday, Tischler recounted the chaotic scene, which he claims drew around 600 Jewish counter-protesters against roughly 200 pro-Palestinian demonstrators, including Neturei Karta members.
“I organized the counter-protest and called on everyone to join me, bringing out a few hundred people,” Tischler told YWN. “While I was filming, a few protesters got in my face, and one man kept following me. When I started recording him, he suddenly punched me in the face.”
Heshy says his phone was knocked out of his hand, but he didn’t go down. “You need a bullet to take me down,” Tischler quipped. Despite the violent assault, the NYPD didn’t arrest the violent terrorist sympathizer, later identified as 42-year-old Anthony Frausto. Undeterred, Heshy and some others “chased him down again, and this time, the police finally arrested him.”
Heshy was then treated at a nearby Hatzolah facility, where police documented the assault and took his ID for their report.
Despite the arrest, “the police let him go,” according to Tischler. The NYPD, however, reported that it had charged Fausto with third-degree assault, which carries with it a potential sentence of up to one year in prison.
Beyond the protest incident, Tischler revealed his intention to run for New York City Council, targeting the seat once held by Kalman Yeger.
“I don’t need the seat, but I have to,” Tischler said, emphasizing that the Jewish community fought hard to establish the district in 2009. He warned that if Felder vacates his Senate seat to run, the position could be handed to a leftist politician, which he described as a disastrous outcome.
“If you get a leftist in there, we’re dead,” Tischler asserted, adding confidently: “We are going to win, I promise you. Just like I said Trump was going to win in a landslide and nobody believed me, I’m gonna win against Felder.”

This dude is still around?!
This article doesn’t make sense.
He says he is running for city council. He also says he is running against Simcha Felder who is a Senator. So which is it
Whatever he is running for I hope doesn’t win.
He is a trouble maker and a provocatour.
Why does a respectable news site such as YWN give this clown publicity. His self-serving dumb comments make our whole community seem like dimwits.
Is this nudnik any relation to Moshe Tischler?
Where’s Dov hikind
He has the attitude but he needs the skill. Fighting needs training.
HELLLOOO EVERYBODY!!! Heshy Tischlah he’e from The Just Enough Heshy Show!
Heshy tischler for city council. Forget those other clowns . Felder, Lichtenstein and Yeager.
We desperately need the gedolei hador to come together and put this guy in cherem!
Is this nutcase really a candidate for a “real” election? It seems he’s more of a rabble rouser than a serious politician. He was foolishly active in some COVID-era stupidities, I recall…
I’m also surprised to learn that there were only 200 pro-Palestinian protesters. With such a basically inconsequential crowd (especially since that included neturei karta), wouldn’t it have been wiser to let them blow off their “steam” (with Shomrim and NYPD there and on alert) than to “counter-protest”?
But the red nose looks good on him! Like a warrior (or maybe a drunk).
All you haters of Heshy are a bunch of idiots.
Nuff said
He is a sweet guy. He just needs your vote. Is that too much to ask. He didn’t throw the first punch so why are people jumping on him. If he won a billion dollar lotto every crooked askin and so called rebbe would endorse him.
Everyone has a purpose in life. We need rabble rousers too.
One of the commentators wrote we need the Gedolei hador to come together. What makes a person a gadol. The Gemorah states one who is moser nefesh. In fact who were the zekainim by moshe. It was those who took the beatings by the Egyptians. Our Gedolim today are the protesters who protested against the Arabs in Boro park. The askunim are all just gelt leckers. You want Gedolim. Tishler and hikind fit the bill.
