From the NYTimes 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 The Police Department said it was preparing for new protests in Brooklyn on Monday after a woman was verbally and physically assaulted by hundreds of pro-Israel demonstrators there last week.

The police were investigating the attack on the woman, who has not been publicly identified but who provided a statement to The New York Times. She said she had wandered onto the scene of dueling protests on Thursday outside Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, was speaking.

The appearance by Mr. Ben-Gvir, a far-right politician who has espoused racist anti-Arab views and fiercely opposed a cease-fire in Gaza, drew a small group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators and a much larger crowd of pro-Israel counterprotesters, according to videos posted online by those in both camps.

In her statement to The Times, the woman said a large crowd of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men kicked her, threw objects at her, threatened to rape her and hurled sexist, racist and anti-Arab abuse at her. Her account is consistent with video footage of the incident that was shared widely online.

From the Intercept 🇺🇸 🇵🇸 For years, California Democrats have defended their landmark program to put ethnic studies classes in high schools across the state.

In the face of national right-wing media attacks and local critics, the state’s governing supermajority passed a law in 2021 making ethnic studies a graduation requirement, which supports school boards to develop their own curricula for the courses.

But one particular area of study threatens to unravel the Democratic consensus: Palestine.

In the past year, state lawmakers have teamed up with community groups and the lobbying coalition Jewish Public Affairs Committee of California, or JPAC, in a push to regulate the ethnic studies program. They’re aiming to pass a law that curbs local school board control over ethnic studies curricula in response to classwork focusing on the history of Israel and Palestine that they say has promoted unprecedented bigotry against Jewish students.
