15. This is bullshit.

First, the woman is escorted by a NYC cop.

Second, I checked the telephone number on an awning in one of the video frames, and it placed the location two blocks away from the Habad Lubavitch headquarters, where, you guessed it, an anti-Israel protest took place yesterday (https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/anti-israel-protest-against-ben-gvir-outside-ny-synagogue-provokes-outrage/), sparking outrage of the local Hassidic community.

Third, the mobs look like the members of the said Hassidic community, more likely to be anti-Zionist than pro-Zionist (or, perhaps, this distinction doesn't matter since "Zionist" in your post refers to something other than Zionist?), expressing their outrage for ignorantly and gratuitously being targeted by the protesters.

Fourth, the woman in the video looks more like an ignorant keffiyeh-wearing Upper West Side hipster than a local resident of the Crown Heights community, which is predominantly black or Hassidic (or, in some instances, both).

How much more wrong could your header be?
