Palestine is Not For Sale

Event Overview A protest organized by PAL-AWDA, a group known for its extreme pro-Hamas rhetoric, is set to take place on Tuesday, February 18th, at 6:00 PM at Lumiere Hall, 1358 50th St, Brooklyn, NY 11219. The protest deliberately targets the Jewish Orthodox neighborhood of Boro Park under the guise of opposing a real estate event allegedly involving land sales in Israel. Given the group’s history of inflammatory rhetoric and hostility, this demonstration is expected to involve aggressive tactics, anti-Semitic chants, and potential clashes.

Organizations’ Background PAL-AWDA and its affiliates have a record of organizing protests that promote hostility toward Jewish communities while disguising their intent under activism. Their messaging often distorts facts to incite division, and their protests have previously resulted in tense and volatile situations. Their call to action, encouraging mass participation with flags, signs, and aggressive rhetoric, raises significant security concerns.

Safety Advisory Community members and those in the Boro Park area should take precautions due to potential disruptions:

🔴 Avoid the Area: Expect road blockages, heightened tensions, and an increased risk of confrontations. 🔴 Expect Crowds: Law enforcement presence and counter-protests may lead to unpredictable situations. 🔴 Stay Vigilant: Avoid engaging with protesters and report any suspicious activity to authorities. 🔴 Monitor Updates: Follow local safety alerts and news sources for real-time information on developments.
