(2,996 posts)My point was that the arrest was not of a protester, but of a "counter-protester" - whether the man is a local American Jew - of any descent, whether Syrian or Ashkenazi - an Israeli Jew, a non-Jew or whatever ....totally besides the point. Unless the point is to obfuscate and deflect of course!

The target of the protest was Ben-Gvir, not the synagogue. He was scheduled to speak at that synagogue later that day. The fact that it is a Syrian Jewish synagogue is besides the point. It made a choice to invite the reviled POS settler-terrorist and genocide mastermind Ben-Gvir as an honoured guest. Presumably because the synagogue sees nothing repulsive about him, his actions and ultra-Zionist ideology. Unlike many other synagogues and communities that rejected an appearance by Ben-Gvir. Good on them.

If the presence of protesters was offensive to the Jewish man who was arrested, imagine how offensive the presence of Ben Gvir would be to decent people - and not just keffiyeh-wearing protesters.
I can't think of why decent people - protesters or not- would NOT be outraged and offended by the presence of the abominable Ben-Gvir.
