However, push came to shove, four officers were injured trying to contain Coronavirus restriction protests in a settlement in West Bank:Meanwhile, across the pond, an angry Jewish population in Brooklyn, New York, spilled into the streets after NY Governor Andrew Cuomo announced limited occupancy for synagogues in 'red zones' would be limited to 10 individuals, regardless of their size:
"Police arrived at the synagogue in Modi'in Illit and asked the crowd to leave the area. The officers were attacked with stones and firecrackers. During the riots, seven suspects were detained," the press service said.
Protesters in Borough Park, a largely Orthodox area of Brooklyn, burned a pile of discarded masks in the middle of the road in symbolic repudiation. A video posted to social media shows New York City firefighters arriving at the scene to put out the blaze - while men in traditional Orthodox costume marching through the area. Elsewhere in the city, police attempted to corral Orthodox Jews who were celebrating Sukkot, a Jewish holiday marking the autumn harvest.And, they were at it again a second night, with no further resolution to the lockdown policies:
Radio host and local celebrity Heshy Tischler said that he would file a court order to "hold Cuomo and the idiot [Mayor Bill] de Blasio" in contempt of a recent court ruling that blocks New York State from singling out religious gatherings when imposing coronavirus restrictions.
A number of Trump flags were seen flying over the crowd, suggesting strong support for the president among the group. The Republican leader has often voiced skepticism about the stricter lockdown policies brought by Democratic mayors and governors, and has himself been reluctant to mandate nationwide restrictions, instead allowing localities to decide for themselves.
BREAKING: DC Antifa 'Ringleader' Arrested
October 3, 2020
Jason Charter, a DC Antifa activist who was previously charged with being a "ringleader" in the attempt to destroy the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square near the White House in June has been arrested again by DC Park Police.
A source who was at the scene tells the Gateway Pundit that he "cried his eyes out" following the arrest, while waiting for a wagon to transport him to booking.
Antifa and Black Lives Matter militants were protesting a rally organized by Brandon Straka of the Walk Away Movement, which celebrates people leaving the Democrat Party to support President Donald Trump.

Charter was arrested by the FBI and U.S. Park Police in July as part of a joint task force for his role in the destruction of the statues.
"Members of MPD, FBI and USPP have reviewed online open source videos," the FBI's summary of facts states, including "videos from MPD body-worn camera footage, and footage recorded by the Secret Service" in order to "identify the individuals who attempted to remove the Jackson Statue from its base and damage it, including the cannons at the statue's base."
The documents also state that on June 20, Charter "is seen ... standing over the toppled Pike Statue, pouring an unknown liquid onto the statue," the FBI states. "He is then observed waving others away from the statue, and squatting down behind the statue where his hands are not visible. Seconds later, the statue catches fire. Charter is seen standing over the flames as it burns."
Charter has previously made headlines for assaulting One America News reporter Jack Posobiec.
