How is this any different from what Brownshirts, the SS, the SA, did? This is now happening under Democrat rule.

Jewish man harassed by anti-Israel mob on NYC subway recalls masked protester’s cruel taunt: ‘Bro, if you only knew who I was’
By: Matt Troutman, NY Post, June 14, 2024;

A Jewish straphanger who said a masked protester harassed him on a New York City subway train believes the creep was emboldened by having his face shielded — going so far as to taunt: “Bro, if you only knew who I was.”

“It took every ounce of restraint to not say, ‘You’re wearing a mask, no one knows who you are,’” Josh Savitt, the straphanger, recalled in an interview Friday.

Savitt, 35, exclusively spoke to The Post about the hateful run-in, which unfolded Monday as he came face-to-masked-face with a mob of anti-Israel protesters who swarmed a downtown Manhattan exhibit memorializing the victims of the Oct. 7 Nova Music Festival terror attack.

He felt the experience showed what a revived mask ban could do to curtail growing harassment by antisemitic protesters.

“I’m in favor of reimposing that, because I’ve seen firsthand the things people feel comfortable with,” he said.

“As long as he had his mask on and his anonymity he felt free to talk tough.”

Savitt, a Jewish lawyer who grew up in the city, said he exited the Nova exhibit Monday and jumped into a No. 4 or 5 train at Fulton Street, which was filled with hundreds of protesters, whom he documented in a series of viral tweets.

The mob’s hateful antics — including chanting “Long live the Intifada” — were among a spate of widely condemned antisemitic incidents that prompted Gov. Kathy Hochul and Jewish leaders to call for the return of a protest mask ban, particularly on the subway.

But Savitt said any feeling of safety outside the demonstrations — where there were police and security guards — dissolved as exhibit-goers like himself and protesters spilled onto the subways together.

Protesters in another subway train, seemingly a No. 5, were captured on video demanding that “Zionists” raise their hands and warned “this is your chance to get out.”

Savitt said he actually stopped wearing his kippah, or religious head-covering, on the subways after Oct. 7 to avoid antisemitic confrontations, but was inspired to do so again after the Nova Exhibit.
