A large group of pro-Hamas activists protested outside a New Jersey shul Monday, outside an event promoting Israeli rescue and burial organization ZAKA.
The protesters targeted Congregation Bnai Yeshurun in Teaneck, and falsely accused ZAKA, a truly wonderful and peace-loving organization, of spreading lies about Hamas atrocities.
The Within Our Lifetime (WOL) and American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) organizations posted flyers that said, “Join us in Teaneck, NJ, on Monday, April 1st, as we stand in solidarity to demand accountability from ZAKA. While they’re being hailed as heroes, ZAKA’s false claims and fabricated evidence have fueled the genocide in Gaza. Let’s ensure truth prevails and justice is served.”
ZAKA volunteers were scheduled to discuss the processes of search and rescue and identifying and burying the bodies of the victims of the Hamas massacre of October 7. ZAKA volunteers, at great personal risk, sprung into action immediately after the attacks and worked extensively to recover the victims of the massacre, which left 1,200 Israeli men, women and children dead, hundreds captured by Hamas terrorists, and sparked the current war against the terror group in Gaza.
