Israeli suspected of hate crime after confronting pro-Palestinian NYC protesters calling for violence

Brooklyn Bridge closed for hours due to massive pro-Palestinian rally where demonstrators called for ‘intifada’; NYPD say looking for Israeli woman who allegedly confronted protestors and seemed to have assaulted a man
The New York Police Department was considering charging an Israeli woman on suspicion that she committed a hate crime after she confronted pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrating on the Brooklyn Bridge. More than 7,000 marched on the main New York thoroughfare last Saturday blocking traffic and carrying signs saying: "Zionism is terror" and "Biden is funding genocide."

The surprising decision of NYPD comes after pro-Palestinian protesters occupied the city's Grand Central Station in protest of Israel's bombing of Gaza, which followed the massacre perpetrated by the Hamas terror group earlier this month.
Increasingly protests have been taking place accusing Israel of crimes against humanity while antisemitic incidents spiked on college campuses and around the United States. According to the Anti-Defamation League, there has been a 400% rise in antisemitic incidents since the start of the war.
