Today, pro-Palestinian groups organized a walkout in NYC schools to protest against Israel. Where I live, in a neighborhood that is 99% Jewish, they felt it was necessary to march.

At first, it was "only" chants, "From the river to the sea," but then turned into an angry mob, trying to provoke those passing by. Some locked their doors and windows out of fear.

Watching how the "protesters" behave and after what happened this week in LA, I never believed I would ever say this, but

On the day that marks 85 years since Kristallnacht, I realized that I don't feel safe in NY anymore.

I totally agree that it's unfair on individual Jews that they are being blamed for actions that they may well not support.

However, I also understand the anger.

Their relatives are being massacred by a Jewish ethnostate that is publically supported by most major Jewish organizations.

Until the religious extremists currently running Israel and the illegal settlers are removed I don't see any potential path to peace.

Continued oppression of Palestine will breed more resentment and anger. It will radicalize yet another generation, and the cycle of violence continues.

The group is composed of various sorts, from the informed and serious to the (mostly) boys bringing online hate-mongering behaviors (for example). That's long been the case (decades if not centuries, though the internet stepped up the dynamic).

The feelings of fear are valid nonetheless.
