(Jewish Group) A pro-Palestinian YouTuber tried trolling Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn.
A pro-Palestinian YouTuber tried trolling Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn. Here’s what happened.A video of a self-described comedian approaching Hasidic Jews on the streets of Brooklyn and asking them their thoughts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has gone viral on Orthodox Jewish twitter.
That’s not because observant Jews are happy about the video, which has been reshared thousands of times and has had more than 250,000 views on YouTube since it was posted by Abdullah Almasmari, also known as Dulla Mulla, on Aug. 26.
Rather, it’s because many have deemed the video — in which Almasmari asks Orthodox passersby to, among other things, “justify Israel’s actions toward Palestine” — deeply offensive.
“It’s antisemitic to just go up to random US Jews and hold them accountable for Israel’s actions,” wrote Elad Nehorai, a writer who calls himself ex-Hasidic, after sharing a clip that was first put up on a Twitter profile called Hasidic. “Gross.” He shared a clip on Twitter, which led others in the Orthodox online world to take notice.
