General Discussion

It is your grossly uninformed description of the origins and the accent of the man you commented on that was your point. You made it pretty clear, and, in the face of what you already committed to print, attempting to disavow it now is transparently disingenuous, awkward and ridiculous. Naturally, it didn't stop you from accusing me. Figures.

And now, the real point, which you are trying to avoid like fire: the man who was arrested is not the one who provoked the confrontation. The likelihood of him not being a protester is yet another deflection: he was not the cause of the confrontation. The confrontation was a response to the blatantly antisemitic targeting of (likely his) place of worship by the provocative action of a combative group of outsiders. Are you not clear on that yet? It will be up to NYPD and due process of law, not your conjectures, that will determine the nature of the man's actions. The combative displays of antisemitic attitudes by a loud and disruptive outside group targeting the local place of worship, on the other hand, is self-evident.

Of course, it was already brought to your attention that the arrest you have described has nothing to do wit Ben Gvir, and it occurred in an area of Brooklyn some ten miles away, and at a different time of day than the the Ben Gvir visit. But referencing a wrong event on a wrong day at a wrong place for the wrong reason is not a deflection, right?

For my part, I can't think of why decent people would NOT be outraged and offended by the aforementioned antisemitic protesters.

Before I dismiss the rest of your post as yet another failed attempt at deflection, a few further matters of fact: Ben Gvir's visit of a Syrian Jewish synagogue, whether or not it is besides the point, is not a fact: it is at best a misunderstanding of a fact. Ben Gvir never set foot anywhere near the Syrian synangogue targeted by the Jew-hating group of protesters in question. And check out your excerpt tags. Probably an honest error, but they appear to be in the wrong place. Makes things unnecessarily confusing, as if the rest of your post already isn't.
