A month into the Israel-Gaza war, a chance encounter in Brooklyn resulted in hate crime charges, an online mob, a wrongly identified assailant and a young father left with questions about justice, mercy and what anger can turn into: washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…

This story, part of the @washingtonpost's Deep Reads series, also comes with a beautifully produced audio piece from @BishopSand. washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…

@rubycramer @washingtonpost @BishopSand An enlightening article about how far some people will go to express their prejudices even in from of a small child. But, the article left me wondering what punishment did Hadasa Bozakkaravani get? The story needed that answer.

@rubycramer @washingtonpost @BishopSand Well-written, but @Ash_Prashar wasn't "just wearing a scarf." He is a pro-Palestinian activist and the publisher of "Gaza War Criminal" playing cards featuring @HillaryClinton and @VP to @POTUS. He has leveraged the incident to great effect. forward.com/fast-forward/5…

@rubycramer @washingtonpost @BishopSand A wonderful project and sensitive reporting, thank you. We are in fragile times with free-floating outrage everywhere. I wish the best for Ash, Mary and their babe.

@rubycramer @washingtonpost @BishopSand I read the story. The part that's hard for me is the possibility the defendant will get let off the hook w/ attending a class or community service. That would be fine - in addition to incarceration. Been the victim of hate crimes. Reconciliation is fine... + incarceration.

@rubycramer @washingtonpost @BishopSand People who wear the Palestinian scarf after October 7 know what they are doing. The reaction by some is akin to seeing someone wearing a swastika armband. But the woman was criminally wrong attacking the man, especially in front of his child.

@rubycramer @washingtonpost @BishopSand Shamefully one sided article that ignores how infuriating it is to see a person wearing such a scarf in New York and signifying that the lives of hostages do not matter, that October 7th doesn’t matter, supporting Hamas…

@rubycramer @washingtonpost @BishopSand TY!! Great article. So so sad. SYK - victims of gangstalking say the stalkers/harassers/disruptors (organized/networked - relay-styled stalkers, aka "gang stalkers") form a "ripple of hate" against the victims-blacklisted. Pls see also "1996" by Gloria Naylor. Endgangstalking,edu
