Following a tense confrontation on Thursday night, in Crown Heights, where hundreds of Lubavitcher bochurim stood up to pro-Hamas supporters, Crown Heights Shomrim has issued an urgent community alert about a planned pro-terror demonstration scheduled for Monday, April 28, at 7:00 p.m. The protest is set to begin at the Barclays Center and move toward Crown Heights, prompting heightened vigilance from local authorities and residents.
The Thursday night incident saw pro-Hamas agitators met with strong resistance from the Chabad community, resulting in the protesters being driven out of the area. Additionally, members of Neturei Karta were chased out of Crown Heights during the same evening. It remains unclear whether Neturei Karta plans to return for Monday’s demonstration.
Crown Heights Shomrim, in collaboration with the NYPD, has been working diligently to ensure the community’s safety. In their official alert, Shomrim stated: “Shomrim is in constant contact with the NYPD and officials to ensure that our community remains protected and that Crown Heights stays safe. The NYPD has assured us that Crown Heights will be protected and that the agitators will not pose a threat.” However, they urged residents to remain vigilant, advising, “Please be careful and stay alert at all times. Do not go to the Barclays Center or towards Grand Army Plaza seeking any confrontation.”
The alert also addressed potential escalations, noting, “If G-d forbid, agitators enter Crown Heights, we have the right to defend ourselves – with caution, responsibility, and within the law.” Shomrim emphasized the importance of staying smart and responsible, concluding with a wish for “everyone a peaceful and quiet week.” Residents are encouraged to contact Shomrim’s 24/7 hotline at 718-774-3333 for any concerns or emergencies.

This will come to a head soon. We can’t let these terrorists keep pushing the envelope to harass us in our neighborhoods. They need to be met with overwhelming pushback and be stopped dead in their tracks.
Instead of Shomrim being in touch with New York Police, how about being in touch with ICE to once & for all round up & deport every single one of these savages:- Both Palestinians & נטורי-קרתא
1000% on the Hamas/Palestinian opossums but sadly those נטורי קרתאniks are all U.S. homegrown nut cases.
How sad that Jewish people insist on staying where they arent wanted! When here in Israel every frum Jew who comes home increases כבוד שמים and supports the community as a whole just by their presence – assuming that they are upright people. But no – we Jews after 2000 years of galus prefer the crown heights instead of Crowning the real King! How sad…. and btw don’t come to Israel as refugees. Come כספת וזהבם איתם. The window of oppurtunity to come in a mechubadika way may not stay open forever. Eretz Yisroel needs you and you are fighting around with the goyim. When will we get the message!
