Far-Right Backers of Itamar Ben-Gvir Attack Palestinian Rights Protesters in New York
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Protests continued Sunday in New York over a visit by Israel's far-right
security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who was once convicted for incitement
to racism and support for a terrorist organization. On multiple
occasions, supporters of Ben-Gvir attacked protesters and bystanders
while chanting "death to Arabs" in Hebrew. On Thursday, a mob of over
100 men surrounded and attacked a Brooklyn woman who lived nearby, after
they assumed she was a pro-Palestinian protester.
