Dov Hikind, the former Assemblyman and founder of Americans Against Antisemitism, found himself in handcuffs on Thursday during a protest held at the offices of Amnesty International.
Hikind’s purpose at the protest was to present the organization with the “moral hypocrisy” award, condemning their inaction regarding the suffering of Jewish terror victims.
He was arrested by the NYPD.
Expressing his frustration, Hikind took to Twitter, stating, “Came to @amnestyusa to give them the award for moral hypocrisy on international women’s day. Unsurprisingly, the cowards they are would not receive this honor and instead arresting me for not leaving their offices.”
Karen Lichtenbraun, an activist representing the women’s protest, was also detained and confined to a cell. Hikind commended her courage and criticized those responsible for her arrest.
In a pre-protest statement, Hikind emphasized Amnesty International’s failure to address the brutal sexual violence inflicted by Hamas on Jewish women and girls. “Amnesty International has truly earned the shameful distinction of moral hypocrites by their deafening silence on the sadistic sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas against Jewish women and girls on October 7. Together with a courageous group of Jewish women who will be leading the charge, we will be delivering and unveiling a truly monumental award to this sham of a so-called human rights organization this morning in commemoration of International Women’s Day. Many around the world have been silent, but, especially for the sake of those still being held hostage by Hamas, we sure as hell won’t be!”
WATCH:
This is what everyone should be doing
I agree. The minimum we should do is contact our elected officials that support israel to thank them and to defend israel online where we have to win over hearts and minds of young ignorant jew haters!!.
Good for him! He gets Olam Haba for this. AI is a sham organization, something like the UN
About time. We need a JDL
Glad to see the video and this Gibbor’s giant step. The shmooze press will ignore it. Dov understood all the concommitnts and his team went forward. Glad to see that the Police seemed calm.
Looks like a chil hasim from my local. If you believe in the hasim then he will handle it. Ur screaming will do nothing.
What did he do to cause an arrest?
He showed up. He’s been spotted by loudmouth.com and a known troublemaker.
