NEW YORK (JTA) One person was burned when two fireworks were thrown from a car amid an altercation with anti-Zionist protesters in a heavily Jewish New York City business district, according to police.
The fight on Thursday evening came on what appeared to be the final day of the conflict between Hamas and Israel prior to a ceasefire that took effect overnight. Additional videos circulating on social media appeared to show other physical altercations between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrators in New York City earlier in the day.

Where have you been? Yes, you?
You know who you are: The academics who have sat on panels with me. The Twitterati, journalists, and staffers who haunt the same D.C. spots as me. The analysts and advocates and activists who share my professional environment. We ve broken bread, or at least had coffee.
Where have you been?
I know everyone was really busy the last couple of weeks with the latest violence in Gaza. Lots of writing, curating, and brand burnishing had to be done.

(CNS News) – On Tuesday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced a resolution “condemning hate and violence against Jews,” specifically from elected officials and the media who help to inspire much of the violence, according to the senator. This comes in the wake of surges of anti-Semitic violence in this country and in Europe.
The resolution also seeks to “denounce anti-Israel rhetoric” and reaffirm that Jews deserve both dignity and respect.

“The sickening rise in anti-Semitic attacks in the United States and around the world must end, along with the hateful anti-Israel rhetoric from politicians and the media that inspires the violence,” said Hawley.
