'We're not criminals.'</p><p>"Levasseur said she couldn't have anticipated that the war would still be going on 21 months after it began. She said she's thankful that a group of attorneys stepped forward to represent the protesters for free, and that the May demonstration in the Old Port attracted a new, larger crowd of supporters.</p><p>" 'More and more people are waking up, learning what's going on, horrified, and want to do something,' Levasseur said. 'The people we were arrested with, I didn't even know them all when we were arrested. ... It's not the usual suspects. It's just more ordinary people.'</p><p>"Levasseur and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbigailFuller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AbigailFuller</span></a>, 65, of Portland, were also arrested at a February 2024 protest on Franklin Street for obstructing a public way. Their charges in those cases have since been dropped.</p><p>"Fuller, who is also a lecturer at the University of Southern Maine, said she felt supported by the group of people outside the courthouse while walking into her arraignment. She pleaded not guilty and also told the judge she was protesting genocide when she was arrested.</p><p>" 'It feels good to be starting the process,' Fuller said. 'The Maine courts system takes a really long time, often, to get through, but this is the first step.'</p><p>"Fuller said she appreciates seeing new faces at protests, especially as airstrikes and shootings in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaStrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GazaStrip</span></a> continue, killing people attempting to receive <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanitarianAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumanitarianAid</span></a>.</p><p>" 'Unfortunately, Palestinian deaths are not on the front pages of the newspaper anymore,' Fuller said.

DoomsdaysCW<p>Mob chased Brooklyn woman after mistaking her for protester at speech by Israeli security minister</p><p>by JAKE OFFENHARTZ<br>Updated 9:34 AM EDT, April 28, 2025 </p><p>NEW YORK (AP) — "A Brooklyn woman said she feared for her life as she was chased, kicked, spit at and pelted with objects by a mob of Orthodox Jewish men who mistook her as a participant in a protest against Israel’s far-right security minister.</p><p>"The assault, recorded by a bystander, unfolded Thursday near the global headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in Crown Heights, where an appearance by Itamar Ben-Gvir set off clashes between <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProPalestinian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProPalestinian</span></a> activists and members of the neighborhood’s large Orthodox Jewish community.</p><p>"The woman, a neighborhood resident in her 30s, told The Associated Press she learned of the protest after hearing police helicopters over her apartment. She walked over to investigate around 10:30 p.m. but by then the protest had mostly dispersed. Not wanting to be filmed, she covered her face with a scarf.</p><p>" 'As soon as I pulled up my scarf, a group of 100 men came over immediately and encircled me,' said the woman, who spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety.</p><p>"‘I had nowhere to go’</p><p>" 'They were shouting at me, threatening to rape me, chanting ‘death to Arabs.’ I thought the police would protect me from the mob, but they did nothing to intervene,' she said.</p><p>"As the chants grew in intensity, a lone police officer tried to escort her to safety. They were followed for blocks by hundreds of men and boys jeering in Hebrew and English.</p><p>"Video shows two of the men kicking her in the back, another hurling a traffic cone into her head and a fourth pushing a trash can into her.</p><p>" 'This is America,' one of the men can be heard saying. 'We got Israel. We got an Army now.'</p><p>"At one point, she and the police officer were nearly cornered against a building, the video shows.</p><p>" 'I felt sheer terror,' the woman recalled. 'I realized at that point that I couldn’t lead this mob of men to my home. I had nowhere to go. I didn’t know what to do. I was just terrified.'"</p><p><a href="https://apnews.com/article/itamar-bengvir-brooklyn-mob-woman-chased-090da170e8800307c54e2520320f6a2c" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apnews.com/article/itamar-beng</span><span class="invisible">vir-brooklyn-mob-woman-chased-090da170e8800307c54e2520320f6a2c</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Zionists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zionists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristoFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristoFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BibiIsAWarCriminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BibiIsAWarCriminal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpIsAWarCriminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpIsAWarCriminal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a></p>
