“The Great Israel Real Estate Event.”
For the second time in six months, protesters gathered outside Park East Synagogue, which was holding an event to promote real estate sales in Israel. A heavy police presence kept the two groups apart. ...as the acrimonious conflict in the Middle East once again spilled over into its streets. Dozens of pro-Israel counter-demonstrators also assembled at the site.[NY Times]

ALL OUT TO PROTEST the "Great Israel Real Estate Event" Tues, May 5 6:30 pm 163 East 67th Street New York, NY 10065 All out to protest the illegal sale of #StolenPalestinianLand! We will not be silent as ethnic cleansing is being actively promoted in our neighborhoods.
FYI: The HISTORICALLY correct names for the "West Bank" are JUDEA and SAMARIA. "West Bank" is anti-Jewish agitprop.
From our Muslim Commie Mayor ....
''Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned the event on Tuesday. Sam Raskin, his spokesman, said Mr. Mamdani was “deeply opposed” to the event because it “includes the promotion of the sale of land in settlements in the Occupied West Bank.”... “These settlements are illegal under international law and deeply tied to the ongoing displacement of Palestinians,”
In January- AFTER his election
The Mayor has struggled to earn the trust of segments of the Jewish community because of his criticism of Israel and his history of pro-Palestinian activism. But he also won the votes of many Jews who said they were inspired by his campaign and either unbothered by or supportive of his views on the Middle East. He has repeatedly vowed to protect the security and celebrate the contributions of Jewish New Yorkers, and has been endorsed by many progressive Jewish public figures and groups.[ny times]

The event at Park East on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, was organized by Tivuch Shelly, a firm that markets real estate in Israel and the West Bank to English speakers.: The “Great Israeli Real Estate Event” [https://www.tivuchshelly.com/]
The NYPD established a large security perimeter, blocking streets around the synagogue, which restricted access for both protesters and potential attendees.
Hundreds of protesters gathered to oppose the sale of land in Israel and the occupied ''West Bank'', causing chaotic scenes.
They chanted, “We don’t want no two states, we want all of it,” “End the settler Zionist state,” “Death to the IDF,” and, “There is only one solution, intifada revolution.”[Times of Israel]
" ... the protest was “intended to create fear in the hearts of Jewish New Yorkers and stigmatize our community.” “This is part and parcel of the rising antisemitism that we are facing,” ....
HENCE: The “buffer zone”
“I’m not familiar with the Park East Synagogue. And having been standing where both protesters and counter-protesters were standing, you would not know where it was,” Bernstein said. “I’m actually still figuring out where the synagogue is because the buffers are so large that it’s impossible to know.”
A Jewish couple was surrounded and harassed last night outside the Park East Synagogue event. Masked individuals shouted. "You rape men, you rape children. "You f**king sociopath, I see it in your eyes." Jews are starting to feel the danger of the Mamdani leadership.[@canarymission]
“These people are harassing Jews,” said Tim Rosen, 44, a lawyer from Queens. “They’re targeting Jews at a synagogue, it’s disgusting and vile and something I never thought I’d see in New York City. These people don’t want to free Palestine. They want to target Israel and kill Jews.” [NY Post]“Whatever your politics, whatever your views, this is not the New York way and should be condemned.” [NY Times]
It’s Time to Dismantle the Apparatus Terrorizing American Jews. [https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-last-straw/]
The terrorizing of Jews attending a real estate discussion at New York City’s Park East Synagogue last week must be the last straw. Every few weeks, there’s another incident. Another synagogue surrounded by protesters chanting “we need to make them scared.” Another Jewish worshipper put in a chokehold. Another commercial event forced to cancel because organized mobs showed up to intimidate attendees. Another neighborhood placed under siege while elementary schools lock their doors early. And every time, the response follows the same script: politicians condemn it, community leaders call it unacceptable, a few arrests are made for disorderly conduct, and then — nothing. The organization that planned it moves on to the next event. No more. It’s time that we took action to ensure that the organization that was responsible for organizing the terror campaign is bankrupted and dismantled. ... We need to stop pretending these are isolated incidents. They are not. They are part of a coordinated national campaign. What they are doing is illegal and it is long past time to use the laws on the books to end their campaign of terror.
They do not want PEACE.
Not with the Jews
PEACE will not be possible.

Post Script/Addendum:
The following week there were
NO BUFFER ZONES
Karen L LichtBraun Herut New York City
The chaos in Midwood yesterday was due to permitting the anti-Zionists to protest in the street without a permit. Until laws for protesting are enforced, we will continue to see harassment of Jews and physical violence. It will escalate because the Jew haters know there is no enforcement.
There was a huge turnout from the Midwood community and beyond. The unity was amazing. We had each other’s backs. It made a difference. A message was sent from the Jewish community at the Midwood protest
